UNICEF is appealing for more than one billion dollars in aid for women and children around the world.The United Nations Children's Fund has released its " Humanitarian Action Report" for two thousand ten. The report lists twenty -eight countries and territories with some of the world's most pressing crisis affecting women and children.
Haiti was considered to be in crisis long before the earthquake in January.The deputy executive director of UNICEF, Hilde Johnson, says the quake has only made the need for aid more immediate.But she says children all over the world have the right to the same assistance as children everywhere else.
The "Humanitarian Action Report" discusses several issues that UNICEF says increasingly threaten the basic rights of women and children.It says climate change has caused droughts and' food insecurity in many areas.High food prices and the global financial crisis of two thousand eight - two thousand nine have only added to poverty and malnutrition ( 营养不良).And armed conflict continues to threaten the lives of millions.
Hilde Johnson says children are always the most affected by conflicts and disasters.They face an increased risk of abuse, including sexual violence and other serious rights violations (侵犯).
UNICEF deals with about two hundred emergencies around the world every year.The greatest need last year was in sub - Saharan Africa.The report says drought, food insecurity and civil unrest affected about twenty - four million people.
Violence and displacements( 驱逐)of people were especially bad in Sudan, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic.
In Asia, UNICEF expects its financial assistance needs to more than double this year.This is partly the result of adding Pakistan and the Philippines to the latest report.In Pakistan, it says, more than two million people have been forced from their homes by the conflict in the.Swat Valley and other areas of the northwest.And in the Philippines, more than two hundred thousand people are still living in shelters after severe storms last year.
This years UNICEF report talks about the value of public and private partnerships in helping children and families in emergencies.
And thats the VOA Special English Development Report, written by June Simms.For a link to the UNICEF report listing the twenty - eight countries and territories in crisis, go to www.unsv.com.I'm Steve Ember.

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town centre but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route.He replied, "You mean fortunately." He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed.I used to complain as I approached it but now I tell myself the following; This hill will exercise my heart and lungs.It will help me to lose weight and get fit.It will mean that I live longer.This hill is my friend.Finally as I wend my way up the incline I comfort myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free.I have a smug smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life, Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a University degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational.She wrote, " Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved."
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity.From time to time, we all face hardships, problems, accidents, and difficulties.Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own.While we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs cut off following a flying accident.He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying experts in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans.He was an inspiration to others during the war.He said, "Don’t listen to anyone who tells you that you can’t do this or that.That's nonsense.Make up your mind, you’11 never use crutches or a stick, then have a go at everything.Go to school, join in all the games you can.Go anywhere you want to.But never, never let them persuade you that things are too difficult or impossible."
The biographies of great people are filled with examples of how they took kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced.The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or depressed.They chose their attitude.They chose to be positive.They took on the challenge.They won.
