Experiencing extreme heat during pregnancy is linked to higher risks for babies, including preterm birth, stillbirth, and low birth weight. Pregnant women may also face higher risks of high blood pressure. Children also can become ill during extreme heat. WHO, WMO, UNICEF and UNFPA have identified key indicators to help countries spot these risks using data they already collect — such as preterm births, clinic visits, deaths and school attendance — alongside heat exposure data. Measuring the health impacts of heat means, we can act sooner to protect those most at risk: bit.ly/4zLTLEh

Critical health supplies were destroyed when a WHO warehouse in Ukraine was hit in an attack. These supplies were intended for health facilities treating patients every day. From the burnt warehouse, @Chikwe_I, Executive Director, WHO Health Emergencies Programme, explains what the loss means for health care in Ukraine and how WHO is adapting to keep essential medicines and medical supplies moving to where they are needed most. Attacks on health care must stop. Health workers, patients and medical facilities and supplies must be protected under international humanitarian law.
