Solidarity with Ukraine
World leaders have expressed their solidarity with Ukraine as the country marks one year since the start of the Russian invasion. In a statement, the United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for an end to the war and urged Russia to withdraw its troops from Ukraine. The United States, the European Union, and other countries have pledged continued support for Ukraine, including financial and military assistance.
Haiti earthquake victims remembered
A year after the devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people in Haiti, the country is still struggling to recover. The earthquake destroyed homes, schools, and hospitals, and left many people homeless. The United Nations has appealed for $1.2 billion to help Haiti rebuild and recover from the disaster.
Funding for Sudan healthcare
The World Bank has approved $200 million in funding for Sudan’s healthcare system. The funding will be used to improve access to healthcare services, particularly for women and children. Sudan has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the world, and many children die from preventable diseases. The World Bank funding is expected to help improve the health of millions of Sudanese people.
