WHO is publishing new recommendations to establish global care standards for healthy pregnant women and reduce unnecessary medical interventions. Worldwide, an estimated 140 million births take place every year – the majority occurring without complications for women and their babies. Yet, over the past 20 years, the health sector has increased the number of interventions once only used to avoid risks or treat complications.

Clearance of explosive hazards in Iraq post ISIL
Extensive conflict in Iraq associated with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) has displaced more than 5.8 million people since 2014. The military campaigns to retake cities have significantly contaminated areas with explosive hazards in addition to the Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) placed by ISIL before their withdraw and during their occupation. The presence of explosive hazards in liberated areas hinders stabilization and impedes urgently needed humanitarian response efforts and prevents civilians from safely returning home. The UN Mine Action Service and partners are working in the most complex and challenging environment imaginable and the ‘evil genius’ tactics engaged by ISIL is making the situation in Iraq even more complex and challenging. Highly skilled operators are required to carry out survey and clearance to ensure the safe delivery of humanitarian aid and to enable the realisation of stabilization efforts throughout the liberated areas.
