Kaum ein Jahr vergeht inzwischen, ohne dass von neuen Rekorden bei Extremwetterereignissen berichtet wird. Naturkatastrophen und Wetterextreme werden insgesamt immer häufiger und nehmen an Stärke zu – und der Klimawandel spielt dabei eine immer größere und zerstörerische Rolle. Wie schlimm di...e Katastrophen die Menschen treffen, wird jedoch nicht nur durch ihre Häufigkeit und Stärke bestimmt. Auch die „Verwundbarkeit“ der Länder und der Menschen gegenüber den Auswirkungen der Naturkatastrophen ist ausschlaggebend für das Maß der Zerstörung (IPCC 2012). Die Erfahrungen aus den vergangenen Katastrophen und die Vorhersagen für die Zukunft zeigen dabei, dass die verwundbarsten Länder gleichzeitig zu den ärmsten der Welt gehören. Um die schlimmsten Auswirkungen durch klimawandelbedingte Naturkatastrophen in den Entwicklungsländern noch zu verhindern, muss der Klimawandel soweit wie möglich begrenzt werden. Klimaschutz ist eine Voraussetzung für nachhaltige Entwicklung und eine Welt ohne Armut und Hunger.

Nations will more quickly transition to clean energy if they redirect government funds away from subsidising unhealthy commodities– in particular fossil fuels. Such action would reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, thereby mitigating climate change and saving lives. Countries must re...examine current economic incentives to industries that harm health as an essential step towards creating coherent policies that sustain growth, support clean energy expansion and prevent noncommunicable diseases (NCDs).

Female Genital Mutilation (weibliche Genitalverstümmelung, FGM) ist ein globales Problem. Weltweit sind mehr als 200 Millionen Frauen und Mädchen betroffen. Davon lebten im Jahr 2020 ca. 75.000 in Deutschland. Viele der Betroffenen leiden unter FGM-bedingten Beschwerden
und benötigen medizinisch...e Hilfe. Leider gibt es in Deutschland bisher nur wenige medizinische Anlaufstellen, die qualitativ hochwertige und evidenzbasierte Versorgung für die Betroffenen gewährleisten. In Bayern leben schätzungsweise 13.000 Frauen mit Genitalverstümmelung. Im
Münchner Universitätsklinikum rechts der Isar gibt es bayernweit die erste medizinische Sprechstunde für von FGM betroffene Frauen und Mädchen.

Antimicrobial agents like antibiotics are essential to treat some human and animal diseases. Microbes, such as bacteria, can develop resistance to antimicrobials meaning that a drug such as an antibiotic is no longer effective in treating the infection. The development of resistance is caused by the... incorrect use of these drugs, for example, using antibiotics (which help to treat bacteria) for viral infections like flu, or as a growth promoter in agriculture.

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) is a leading humanitarian agency dedicated to helping people whose lives have been shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover, and gain control of their future. Health comprises nearly half of IRC’s program portfolio globally and encompasses thr...ee sectors: 1) Primary Health (including child health, sexual and reproductive health and rights, and mental health); 2) Nutrition; and 3) Environmental Health. IRC health programming across its portfolio, in terms of the size and breadth, responds to significant needs in crisis affected settings, improving health and wellbeing while reducing causes of ill-health.
This five-year Health Strategy sharpens our focus on where we can have the most impact. It guides our efforts in planning, technical assistance, business development, advocacy, and internal and external collaboration. Through this strategy, we will invest and grow in areas that will help us achieve high impact at scale for our clients. For the next five years these priorities will include: Nutrition; Immunization: Infectious Disease Prevention and Control; Last Mile Delivery of Primary Health Care: Clean Water.
Our strategy aligns with Strategy 100 (S100) and Strategy Action Plans (SAPs). It lays out how IRC, through health, nutrition, and Environmental Health (EH) programming, will advance the IRC’s S100 ambitions, respond to global trends, and capitalize on our value add. The strategy will be complemented by delivery plans that detail investments, actions, and roles and responsibilities to advance our priorities. At the end of FY24, we will take stock of the implementation of the strategy, measure progress towards achieving our goals, and review if it continues to be fit for purpose.

Azraq refugee camp located in Zarqa governorate was established in April 2014. As of June 2023, the camp continues to hosts 40,600 Syrian refugees, with 61% of the population children, and 25% of all households female-headed (UNHCR, 2023).
The water supply system in Azraq has been operational sin...ce 2017 across the four villages of the camp and consists of 300 tap stands, two boreholes and two storage locations (each with 16 T-95 steel tanks).
Based on data from UNICEF (2022), the community is provided on average 2100 cubic meters of safe, treated water a day, which is distributed across the camp via a gravity flow system. A distribution schedule is in place, with water pumped during two shift times each day in the morning and evening. Monthly data reported through ActivityInfo (2023) shows a range 53.5-76.3 million liters per month provided through the network in 2022 for an average of 57 liters/person/day – well above the locally agreed minimum standard of 35 liters/person/day and the SPHERE standard of 15 liters/person/day.
Latrine and shower facilities in the camp are organized through communal WASH blocks shared typically between three households and connected to water and greywater networks. However, based on an ACF and World Vision assessment (2022), 60% of the surveyed households are using private latrines (50% self-constructed latrines, and 10% constructed by WASH actors), 24% of households used communal latrines as private latrines not shared with other families, and 16% reported the use of communal latrines shared with other families.

The Disaster Recovery Framework (DRF) Guide for the Health Sector provides guidance on how to implement a comprehensive, integrated, and structured approach to disaster recovery. Its overarching goal is to minimize the impact of the disaster on communities and help countries to recover quickly and e...ffectively from disasters, in coordination with key stakeholders.
The DRF Guide for the Health Sector is adapted from the generic DRF Guide, and draws on the Implementation Guide For Health Systems Recovery in Emergencies, the Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management Framework as well as the Disaster Recovery Guidance Series. The guide also makes links with multi-sectoral, government-led recovery planning processes such as the Post-Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), and it supports the implementation of the HDPN.
