The number of people in need of humanitarian relief has increased by almost a quarter compared to 2022, to a record 339 million. WHO is responding to an unprecedented number of intersecting health emergencies: climate change-related disasters such as flooding in Pakistan and food insecurity across the Sahel in the greater Horn of Africa; the war in Ukraine; and the health impact of conflict in Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria and north eastern Ethiopia – all of these emergencies overlapping with the health system disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and outbreaks of measles, cholera, and other killers.

(2022) C2 Open external link (312) Add to my MEDBOX Aktuell fliehen hunderttausende Menschen, vor allem Frauen und Kinder aus der Ukraine in Nachbarländer. Besonders alleinreisende Frauen und Kinder sind in dieser gefährdeten Situation angreifbar und ein Ziel für Menschenhändlerinnen.
