The money will be used to fund new health grants. Reuters (5/9), The Wall Street Journal (5/9)      What to do to ensure babies are born HIV-free  Behind the UN inquiry into U.S. indigenous rights  U.S. professor's inventions help world's poor  Higher temperatures are called a near certainty  55 killed, hundreds hurt in Syria car bombings  Linkin Park to help Uganda clinics go solar  Career Center  Skip to a section:  United Nations | Spotlight: U.S.-UN relations | Health & Development | Climate and Energy | Peacekeeping and Security | Spotlight: UN Foundation Partners [Blog] We stand strong w/ #UNSG Ban Ki-Moon #Obama on #LGBT rights. We hope to see #humanrights for ALL: http://ow.ly/aOiVD" @UNFoundation "There is little money available for humanitarian response. In all, the international community has kicked in $189 million, which represents about 42% of what the UN says is required to meet the urgent humanitarian needs of Yemeni people. The top funders are Germany (about $30 million) and the USA (about $28 million). But there is still a funding gap of $265 million–and that is why hundreds of thousands of children may starve to death." UN Dispatch What to do to ensure babies are born HIV-free As Mother's Day approaches, Michel Sidibe, head of UNAIDS, is reminding parents of three steps they can take to ensure that their babies are born free of the virus -- unlike the 390,000 children born with HIV each year. He urges people to become knowledgeable about HIV prevention and treatment; share what they learn with others; and support programs helping pregnant women living with HIV. The Huffington Post/The Blog (5/9)        UN's Amos tours Afghan refugee camps More Afghans could lose aid-financed work as the U.S. prepares to withdraw combat troops, contributing to a dire humanitarian situation, said Valerie Amos, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator. A study by French aid group Solidarités International raised its estimate of children who died from cold this winter at dozens of refugee camps in or near Kabul. CTV.ca (Canada)/The Associated Press (5/9), The New York Times (tiered subscription model) (5/9)      Other News UN calls for restoration of ousted Guinea-Bissau leaders Time.com/The Associated Press (5/9)      Behind the UN inquiry into U.S. indigenous rights James Anaya, the United Nations special rapporteur on indigenous peoples, discusses his investigation into the treatment of Native Americans in the U.S. "Indigenous peoples suffer a range of social ills, high rates of poverty, alcoholism, domestic violence, low educational attainment. And these are a product of what's been referred to as intergenerational trauma spanning decades, really centuries, since the founding of the country and before," Anaya said. National Public Radio (text and audio) (5/9)        U.S. professor's inventions help world's poor A U.S. professor has been awarded the $100,000 Lemelson-MIT prize for inventions that are improving the lives of poor people across the developing world. Among Ashok Gadgil's innovations are an inexpensive means to disinfect drinking water with ultraviolet light, and the Berkeley-Darfur Cookstove, which reduces the exposure of female refugees in Sudan's Darfur to attacks. PRI (5/9)        Co-chairs are named to post-MDGs panel Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf and the first Indonesian president ever to be re-elected, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, have been appointed co-chairs -- with British Prime Minister David Cameron -- to head the panel that will designate targets to replace the Millennium Development Goals after 2015. The three leaders were selected as representative of the world's upper-, middle- and low-income countries.

"We are emitting twice as much greenhouse gases every year as are absorbed by the world's forests and oceans. This overshoot will worsen and will peak in 2030," said Jorgen Randers, who wrote the report from the Switzerland-based think tank.

Security forces have stopped shelling residential neighborhoods, but the military crackdown has continued. Reuters (5/10), ForeignPolicy.com/Turtle Bay blog (5/9), The Washington Post/The Associated Press (5/9)      Yemen drone strikes are reducing, sowing unrest Increased U.S. drone attacks in Yemen are being credited with killing wanted al-Qaida militants, but some Yemeni officials say they are sowing resentment among citizens, potentially destabilizing a country already racked by conflict.
