Message of the UN Secretary General on World Refugee Day (20 June)

     New-York , 20 June 2009 - Around the world, millions of people have been uprooted by violence, persecution and conflict.  The majority of these individuals and their families come from the developing world and are also especially vulnerable to the harsh fallout of the unfolding global economic crisis.  

 
UN and Azerbaijan Networking on Water, Sanitation and Health issues

Kurdamir, 4 June 2009 - WATER – in one word, so many meanings. As Loran Eisenly, a famous poet, once said, “If there is magic on this planet, it is in water.” For some, it is to cherish this wonderful gift of God like a sacred treasure, walking for miles to get it, under the sun, sometimes barefoot, while others take it for granted. Every day, a lack of safe drinking water and adequate sanitation facilities claims about 6,000 lives, most of them, children. Some 700 million lives in 43 countries are affected by water scarcity. Moreover, 1.8 million people die every year from diarrheal diseases, including 90% of children under the age of 5.
