It had six members – China, Denmark, Dominican Republic, France, India, Lebanon and Poland. Member countries were given the responsibility to “assess the problems related to the situation of women” and advise the United Nations Human Rights Commission (which later took the form of the United Nations Human Rights Council).

The most affected areas include Africa, South-East Asia and Western Pacific, as in these countries, the national TB programs, most depend on international aid.

Who “Any obstacles related to financial, political or operational in TB services can lead to disastrous and often fatal consequences for millions of people around the world,” said Tareza Kasaiwa, director of global TB and lung health programs, said, “Tareza Kasaiwa said.

United Nations Secretary -General Antonio Guteresh Last week, expressing concern over the assistance cuts in health programs, it was feared to have a direct impact on diseases like HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, malaria and cholera.

Serious blow

In the last two decades, more than 7.9 crore people have been saved through global programs to deal with TB. Only last year, about 36.5 lakh people have left death from death.

Financial assistance given by the US government has played an important role in this success. About 20 to 25 million dollars of financial assistance has been provided by the US every year, which is about one-fourth of the total international finance assistance.

The United States has been the largest bilateral donor so far in the fight against TB.

However, under the new executive orders issued by the new government of America, the new finance deductions declared for 2025, at least 18 high-loving countries are likely to have a devastating effect on TB Karvai.

89 percent of American aid was allocated to take care of patients in these countries.

This will have the most impact on Africa, where treatment of treatment and removal of employees, can lead to a huge increase in TB infection rate.

Afghanistan: Food insecurity at one of every three citizens


The UN office has expressed concern that there is a huge humanitarian crisis before the country, due to which the situation is particularly challenging for women and girls.

UN general secretary While informing journalists in New York on Thursday, Anantonio Guterres spokesman Stephan Dujrik said that more than half of the population in Afghanistan, that is, about 2.3 crore people need humanitarian assistance.

From the point of view of the number of needy in the world -affected countries around the world, Afghanistan is second after Sudan. About three crore people in Sudan need help and protection.

After the establishment of the Taleban in August 2021 on the power of Afghanistan, there is a crisis for human rights in the country and the situation for women is particularly bad. The level of food security and malnutrition is very bad.

According to an analysis, about 1.5 crore people, ie one in every three, is suffering from high levels of food insecurity during the first quarter of this year.

About 35 lakh children under the age of five, more than 10 lakh pregnant and breastfeeding women are at risk of getting a victim of early malnutrition.

Explosive material is spread in many areas of the country, which is a deadly threat to the local population. Every month, due to the grip of these Ordnance residues, more than 50 children are casualties, most of which are children.

In these circumstances, United Nations agencies have maintained their presence in the country and have ensured various types of services and assistance for the needy.

Malnutrition treatment services for children have also been affected. According to the UN Humanitarian Office, the reduction in the help of aid will affect the lives and livelihoods and the progress in the development sector will be weak.

The United Nations, with its partner organizations, is giving shape to its new priorities, so that the needy communities and areas can be reached.

Under this, it will also be important to make necessary preparations to increase the number of people returning to Afghanistan from neighboring countries, preparations according to the requirements produced by floods and heavy rains.

Meanwhile, the Central Emergency Response Fund (Cerf) Surrounded by a horrific crisis, but allocated a assistance of $ 11 million for the victims of neglect. There is also Afghanistan in these countries, for which $ 1.9 million has been provided.

Apart from this, an additional amount of $ 300 million will be provided under the Afghanistan Humanist Fund, so that support for life saving priorities in the country can be provided.
