Thank you for that. I read the same report. I think it said that the majority of deaths were caused by sepsis, which is exceptionally preventable in both newborns and their mothers.
We need more money committed overall. This was a core appeal from everyone who was around the table in Switzerland and who had been advocating for this for a long time. We talked about Canada fulfilling its commitments made at the Paris conference, effectively a pledging and donor conference. Many of those commitments have not been delivered upon. Many people talk about the importance of encouraging all our partners to deliver on the commitments they have made and to increase the commitments they have made.
Ultimately, the full addressing of the issue requires peace. There's only a degree to which even increased UN presence in supplies can be functional without a functioning or stable health care system, and with no regular aerial attacks on those delivering assistance. It's about continuing to pressure parties to the talks and pressure humanitarian pause, access or anything that will enable the service itself to get delivered.
