Girls on a school trip to visit the United Nations from Queensbury, Saratoga, sit on the "peace bench", a symbol of peace and dialogue.
Deputy Secretary-General Amina Mohammed poses in front of billboards showcasing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in Times Square, New York City. In order to highlight the need for more ambitious action on the SDGs and to continue to engage with the general public, the 17 Goals are being showcased in Times Square this week, inviting everyone to stand behind the Sustainable Development Goals in advance of the UN General Assembly high-level week.
A view of one of the classrooms with partial roof at the “25 de Junho” School, located in Beira, Mozambique. The school is currently hosting around 5,000 children ranging in ages from five to 14. Organized in three shifts, starting at 6 am, the students fill classrooms which take up to 90 students. Part of the school was built by the community and completed last year. During the cyclones windows were broken and most of the tin roofs flew off, except for some parts that now hang in pieces over the students. This photograph is part of a series of images made in the days leading up to the arrival of Secretary-General António Guterres in Mozambique. Mr. Guterres visited the country to take stock of the recovery efforts in the areas impacted by cyclones Idai and Kenneth, which hit just a few weeks apart in March and April 2019. More than 600 people perished during Idai alone; the effects of the two cyclones combined left approximately 2.2 million people in need of assistance. The United Nations and its humanitarian partners have since been on the ground supporting the Government’s efforts - assisting through contributing to the coordination of international support, distributing food, drinking water and medicine, and providing shelter to those displaced.

Headline Safe and Dignified Burial Part of Ebola Emergency Response 
Caption Description As part of the Ebola Emergency Response, the Red Cross is working with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Ministry of Health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to help stop the spread of Ebola in DRC. Infection of the Ebola virus can occur from touching the bodies of those who have died from the Ebola virus disease (EVD). This practice is part of traditional burial rituals in eastern DRC, why the rituals need to be modified so that family members can say goodbye to their loved ones without becoming exposed to the virus. Red Cross has trained specialist burial teams in remote communities to safely bury people who have died of Ebola. They also make sure that people’s homes and medical equipment are disinfected. Providing the opportunity for a safe yet dignified burial is an opportunity to respect cultures and provide comfort to those left behind.
The volunteers of the safe burial teams wear protective clothing as they take the dead from their homes. The bodies are wrapped in a protective covering as well so that neither the burial team nor the family will be infected with Ebola.
Medical workers help each other get dressed in protective clothing.
