Assembly million hungry child mortality
The UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon announced the creation of a fund of U.S. $ 40 billion to combat infant mortality.
The UN closed yesterday three intense days of work with new financial commitments to make progress in achieving the Millennium Development Goals to eradicate extreme poverty, reducing maternal and child mortality and promote women's equality.
The last day was used by the UN secretary general, Ban Ki-moon, calling on world leaders to be creative in time to face the last third of the process, culminating in 2015, and launched a new initiative that aims to reduce deaths of women from complications during pregnancy or childbirth and their infants before their fifth birthday.
Ban announced that they will move $ 40 billion for these 2 groups. The idea is to save the lives of 16 million mothers and children in the so-called Global Strategy for Health of Women and Children.
Globally, it is estimated that every year 8 million children die before age 5, and that some 350 000 women die during pregnancy or childbirth.
Even before the details were announced, the international aid organization Oxfam expressed skepticism about how much extra money was and how to implement.
At the moment, it is imperative to improve the quality of life for millions of people. An estimated 1.5 million children die from waterborne diseases.
Ban also called on governments not to abandon the one billion people living on less than $ 1.25 a day.
British Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, called for other countries to demonstrate the same determination to Britain to meet their aid commitments.
Afghan Foreign Minister Zalmay Rassoul said Tuesday that the lack of security in their country has become more difficult to achieve an anti-poverty.
More than 140 presidents, prime ministers and kings attending the summit of 3 days and many will stay in New York for the annual ministerial meeting of the General Assembly, which begins today.
