• About UNifeed

  • UNifeed enables news providers to cover important global issues by offering timely broadcast-quality video from throughout the UN system.

    Material is currently available in two formats: on-demand streaming Flash and broadcast-quality MPEG-2 PAL and NTSC for broadcast use. All material is also accompanied by shot lists and story synopses.

    Stories come from the global network of UN specialized agencies, funds and programmes, Peacekeeping Operations and UN headquarters. New stories are posted on the UNifeed website as soon as they become available on a daily basis (excluding Sundays).

    UNifeed was created by the UN's Department of Public Information and UNICEF in response to the growing global demand for timely video material with an international focus. It is also supported by UNHCR, UNDP, the World Bank and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations.

ECUADOR / CHILDBIRTH

Ecuador has a population of 13 million people, where nearly one million are indigenous. Many live in remote areas, and women face an especially high risk of dying from complications while practicing traditional childbirth techniques at home. Although the government passed a law giving women free maternal healthcare, often, they delay going to the hospital until it's too late. UNTV / UNFPA
