Save the Children in Bangladesh family wishes everyone a Merry Christmas!

We have been supporting pregnant women living in climate-affected communities in Bangladesh providing healthcare services by boat. 🛥️ Bangladesh is on the front line of the climate crisis. 38.3 million children in Bangladesh have already experienced extreme heatwaves so far in 2024, while Cyclone Remal killed 16 people and destroyed the homes of over 270,000 children. The estimated five million people live along riverbank areas known as char are particularly vulnerable to drought and flooding, leaving many mothers cut off or facing difficult journeys to see a midwife. Save the Children has been working with local partners in trying to reduce the number of maternal and newborn deaths by operating a medical boat called ‘Mamotar Tori’ or ‘The Boat of Affection’ that brings midwives to villages when they are only accessible by water or in a medical emergency. The boat is equipped with a bed, oxygen, emergency supplies and can be used to provide emergency transport to hospital. Globally, 24 million mothers will give birth without a midwife, nurse or doctor this year and 28 million will give birth outside a health facility, which puts newborns and their mothers in danger. We believe every mother and every baby should have access to a safe, supported birth and no one should have to give birth alone. 👶❤️ https://lnkd.in/g9vT57tz
