United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA)

Conflict has shattered #Gaza’s health system, with hospitals, staff and ambulances attacked, besieged and starved of supplies, equipment and fuel. At Al Awda Hospital, a woman was killed shortly after giving birth when the ambulance she was traveling in – the hospital’s last vehicle – was targeted. In the #WestBank, Palestinians are experiencing a growing health crisis. Curfews, attacks on healthcare facilities and stepped-up restrictions on people’s movement are obstructing access to services. The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) continues to face significant challenges in delivering life-saving supplies across Gaza and what we are able to distribute is a drop in the ocean compared to spiraling needs. Swipe for a glimpse of the unrelenting health crisis Palestinian women and girls are enduring and see the full story: https://unf.pa/huf 📷 Photos: © UNFPA Palestine/Media Clinic, © Dominic Allen/UNFPA

🚨 The year 2023 was the hottest known on earth and 2024 is on track to be even hotter. Climate change and exposure to extreme heat increase the risk of stillbirth, miscarriage, premature births and maternal deaths. As climate change devastates livelihoods, child marriage also increases. BUT if sufficient action is taken to reduce fossil fuel emissions, these risks CAN be mitigated. As the United Nations Climate Change Conference takes place this week, the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) urges wealthy nations to follow the evidence and invest now in #ClimateJustice and #GenderEquality. The choice is simple: Invest now and save lives, or pay more later while women and girls suffer. Find out why climate change has a disproportionate impact on women and girls and why #ClimateAction must address their needs: https://unf.pa/phd 📷 Photos: © UNFPA Bangladesh/Peter Rozario, © UNFPA Zambia/Carly Learson, © UNFPA Ethiopia/MOPIX Productions, © UNFPA Madagascar/Melvis Kimbi, © UNFPA Colombia, © UNFPA Philippines, © UNFPA Nigeria/Seyi Fashina, © UNFPA Mozambique/Mbuto Machili, © UNFPA Malawi/Eldson Chagara #COP29 #GlobalGoals
