HMS Daring has today loaded her stores at Cebu port with lifesaving humanitarian aid and is on her way to Philippine islands that have been without help since Typhoon Haiyan struck.
The flight crew flew their Lynx helicopter on six recces of remote areas for signs of destruction, covering a total of 48 islands and 32,000 nautical miles squared. From the images that came back, the command team have now identified several areas that are desperately in need of aid.
HMS Daring, which was in the South China Sea as part of the exercise, immediately changed course to head for the stricken state where more than 10,000 people are believed dead. It is estimated she will arrive at the Philippines in three days' time.

Over the past decade, nearly 58 million girls were married before the age of 18. Child marriage is a truly global problem: In Africa, 42 percent of girls are married before turning 18, but it is also prevalent in parts of Asia and Latin America and the Caribbean (in South Asia, for instance, 46 percent of girls are married before turning 18). Child brides often start childbearing early, leading to complications and producing high rates of maternal morbidity and mortality among girls in developing countries. Married girls are often forced to leave school, negatively affecting their ability to work and provide for their families. At the Wilson Center on June 17, 2013, panelists from CARE Ethiopia, Girls Not Brides, the International Center for Research on Women, Population Council, Save the Children, UNICEF, and USAID described current policies and programs working to support young women and delay marriage.

KINSHASA, Avril 12 -- L’Agence Américaine pour le Développement International (USAID) annonce le lancement d’un programme à fort impact pour sauver le plus grand nombre de vies des femmes et des enfants qui meurent de causes évitables en République Démocratique du Congo (RDC). Il s’agit du Programme de l’USAID pour la survie de la mère et de l’enfant (PSME), et en Anglais, Maternal and Child Survival Program (MCSP).
Ce programme est un accord de coopération de cinq années à l’échelle mondiale, visant à mettre en œuvre et à soutenir des interventions sanitaires à fort impact. L’accord cible 24 pays hautement prioritaires, y compris la RDC. L’objectif ultime est de mettre fin à la mortalité maternelle et infantile due à des causes évitables en l’espace d’une génération. Le Programme va s’assurer que l’ensemble des femmes, nouveau-nés et enfants les plus démunis ont un accès équitable à des soins de santé de qualité.
En réalité l’objet de ce programme n’est pas nouveau. Il s’agit d’un renforcement et d’une intensification des activités que l’USAID met en œuvre en RDC depuis plusieurs années, comme contribution à la demande mondiale faite aux 24 pays susmentionnés pour accélérer la réduction de la mortalité chez les enfants et les femmes. En effet, le gros des investissements du gouvernement Américain en RDC va dans le secteur de la santé. En 2015, cet investissement s’est élevé à plus de $350 millions de dollars dans le secteur du développement et de l’humanitaire. Chaque année, une enveloppe de près de $150 millions de dollars est allouée au renforcement des services de santé.
Parmi les résultats déjà obtenus:
- 150.000 vies sauvées parmi les enfants dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des trois dernières années, ce qui représente 25 pourcent de la cible établie par le pays ;
- 223.500 grossesses non désirées ont été évitées dans les zones de santé appuyées par l’USAID au cours des cinq dernières années.
About The Project (Oct 2012- March 2013)
Are you a piece?
Pioneers of the emerging contemporary craft movement Mr X Stitch, Deadly Knitshade & Hilary of Craftblog UK are joining the Craftivist Collective to urge the craft community to help us create a giant jigsaw embroidered with provocative messages to support Save the Children's Race Against Hunger Campaign. Wanna join us?
In November 2012 we went on a trip to Indonesia to see how people are tackling child malnutrition there with the support of Save the Children.
What?
Using jigsaw pieces stitched by craftivists (that means you!), the project will create an art installation to raise awareness of the issues of world hunger and injustice. As well as making a piece for the artwork, we're encouraging you to make one for yourself to keep as a reminder to be part of the solution, and to give a piece stitched with the words "I'm a piece" to your MP, to ask them to be the positive change they wish to see in the world. You can find instructions here, your jigsaw template here, suggested slogans here, a story to reflect on whilst stitching here and there's also a video here.- everything you should need!
Why?
The aim is to raise awareness and show that the craft community wants the Government to use its power and influence as host of the 2013 G8 to tackle injustice. Each piece of the puzzle will be stitched with a message to remind us we can all improve the world and help fulfill its potential to be a more beautiful place for all.
Where?
There will be craft events across the country from Manchester to London, Cardiff and Milton Keynes and crafty activists are invited to do the project on their own, with friends or set up their own event, as well as spreading messages and images about the project through their social media platforms using #imapiece. And, of course, we hope you'll sign the Race Against Hunger petition too.
You can help!
Please join the Craftivist Collective's Jigsaw Project, which will run until the spring 2013. Help put hunger at the top of the agenda at the G8 next summer, and encourage us all to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Most of them are women and children. These people have been through a lot in the past few months and the relief of now being at the camp is mixed with uncertainty for what the future will bring.
According to the UNHCR, 2200 Syrians crossed into Jordan on Thursday night and were taken to the Za'atri refugee camp, pushing the total number of Syrian refugees recorded by the UN refugee agency in the countries surrounding Syria to well above 200,000.

Two innocent kids of a beggar were sleeping on a foot over bridge. Its so unfortunate for our society for not taking their proper care. Fate has given them the bed made of dust and waste where these roses place should be in a beautiful garden.
Across Niger, grain stores are empty. The hansa fruit, pictured above, has become the main source of food for millions of people. Bitter and toxic in its natural form, it has to be boiled four or five times, smashed and then diluted in water before it can be eaten.
Around 4.6 million people in West Africa face the threat of imminent starvation as a result of food shortages caused by poor rains and harvests. This includes 3.3 million people in Niger – one of the poorest countries in the world. UKaid, from the Department for International Development, is helping UN agencies and charities on the ground to deliver vital food aid and treat malnourished children.

Further Philippine islands devastated by Typhoon Haiyan have been reached by the Royal Navy and humanitarian aid distributed among desperate villagers.
So far today 125 shelter packs - each containing four family sized kits and nearly 1000 litres of fresh drinking water have been taken by HMS Daring to communities on Canas, Calagnaan and Tulunanaun islands in the north of the region.
In all of these areas the storm destroyed housing and infrastructure, leaving families out in the open and vulnerable to the elements and high midday temperatures.
Out of the three islands the worst affected was judged to be Tulunanaun which had run out of fresh drinking water and, after an initial drop of 500 litres, the sailors returned with additional supplies.

Around the historic Harran University, Harran, Urfa. 28-4-2006.
Harran has been inhabited for 6000+ years. The ruins that date back to the thirteenth century arrival of the Mongols are protected by barbed wire, possibly in response to past vandalism. At some point during my visit, a woman with three kids walked towards our group from the old village. We noticed that the little one she was carrying on her back was about to fall off because the clothing that wrapped the toddler was becoming loose. When warned about the situation, she put things back in order with her hands and teeth, murmured something in Arabic (translated by the daughter concealed beside her), and walked on. The whole affair took place in a rather short time-period, and this is one of the few snapshots I took.
Ever since Save the Children established the Lost Child Center, supported by UN OCHA, 15 children on average have been daily reunited with their families. Through the staff's community mobilization efforts, parents, street leaders, imams and families are well aware of the center's services. At the camp entrance, police and security guards are familiar with the Center and focal points of contact if a child wanders off the camp. The center staff and volunteers have created child friendly maps, a free hotline service, identification cards for all families, and different coloured bracelets for each of the camp's 12 districts.
Syrian volunteers working at the Lost Child Center are identified by their green t-shirts and caps. The Center has a large green flag with a yellow circle in the middle for children and parents to easily identify its location. More than 1,150 lost children have been reunited with their families since the Center began functioning in February 2013.
Floods Wash Away India’s MDG Progress

MORIGAON, India, October 7, 2014 (IPS)—
The northeastern Indian state of Assam is no stranger to devastating floods. Located just south of the eastern Himalaya’s, the lush, 30,000-square-km region comprises the Brahmaputra and Barak river valleys, and is accustomed to annual bouts of rain that swell the mighty rivers and spill over into villages and towns, inundating agricultural lands and washing homes, possessions and livestock away.

Young Syrian girls take part in weekly sessions to highlight issues facing them and their communities as refugees in the camp. Part of the programme involves discussion groups and
creative methods such as drama and arts to enable young girls to learn, actively participate and express their opinions.
* Additional Information: Official UN figures report that the war in Syria has killed more than 10,000 children and that one million more children have fled the country in fear while millions more are displaced inside the country. A briefing by Save the Children highlights another disturbing but less publicised impact of the crisis, the increase in the number of girls who have been forced to marry.
Early marriage existed in Syria before the crisis – 13% of girls under 18 in Syria were married in 2011. The practice was particularly prevalent in some rural communities and among less educated communities.
But now, three years into the conflict official statistics show that among Syrian refugee communities in Jordan – who is focus of this briefing given the lack of statistics inside Syria itself – child marriage has increased alarmingly – and in some cases, has doubled. In Jordan, the proportion of registered marriages among the Syrian refugee community where the bride was under 18 rose from 12% in 2011 (roughly the same as the figure in pre-war Syria) to 18% in 2012, and as high as 25% by 2013. The number of Syrian boys registered as married in 2011 and 2012 in Jordan is far lower, suggesting that young girls are, as a matter of course, being married off to older males.
Save the Children is working in Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq and Egypt, helping children cope with the worst effects of the war. In Jordan Save the Children run community awareness sessions on child marriage with children, adolescents and parents, and in Lebanon are rolling out a child-led curriculum on sexual and reproductive health rights with a focus on prevention of child marriage, access to support services and empowering children’s groups to do advocacy on the issue.
In Brazil, Esther was born too soon and weighed just over two pounds at birth. Esther and her mother are both fighting for Esther’s life, with the help of health professionals trained by Save the Children in effective lifesaving strategies for premature babies, including exclusive breastfeeding and “Kangaroo Mother Care.”
