Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The United Nations (UN) has reported on its response-relief efforts towards the Covid-19 pandemic since its outbreak in the country. The UN through its acting Resident<\/p>\n

Coordinator Anurita Bains has given an update on the relief efforts and assistance of the organisation in the country. These were said during the organisation\u2019s virtual briefing earlier this<\/p>\n

week. St\u00e9phane Dujarric, the Spokesman for the UN Secretary General told the journalists that the UN\u2019s Lesotho team has assisted the 193 health facilities throughout the country to<\/p>\n

maintain essential services. Among these services are: maternal health for about 200 000 populations of women, HIV services and vaccinations for more than<\/p>\n

22 000 children. The UN family is also reported to have trained more than 13 000 Community Health Workers (CHW) to respond to the Coronavirus.<\/p>\n

More than 360 000 people are said to have benefited from the organisation\u2019s investments on improved access to water and sanitation of the constructed 170 permanent washing stations.<\/p>\n

The Spokesman further mentioned that there are more than 160 000 populations which include the returned migrants who have received assistance in the form of cash transfers \u201cto cushion the impact of the<\/p>\n

crisis\u201d. \u201cWe have also supported three new [internet based applications] to monitor community cases of the virus, and also to report domestic violence, and<\/p>\n

an e-market platform for smallholder farmers. \u201d Taking stock of the ongoing total lockdown imposed restrictions, the UN said \u201cmovements and economic restrictions are<\/p>\n

making the delivery of our essential programmes challenging\u201d. In his remarks UN Secretary-General Ant\u00f3nio Guterres said that humanity has just endured a year of tragedy<\/p>\n

and crisis that we never want to repeat. But, the Secretary-General added that the tests to the society are continuing. He underscored the world\u2019s fragility,<\/p>\n

pointing to the current COVID-19 emergency, the global economic crisis, the increasing inequalities resulting from the pandemic, among others. [He] said \u201cwe<\/p>\n

have reached a moment of truth: In 2021 we must address these fragilities and put the world on track. It is time to change course and take the sustainable<\/p>\n

path,\u201d reads the UN\u2019s statement in pertinent part. The UN is supporting the country in many fields together with its agencies be it offering technical support to the line ministries, offering<\/p>\n

humanitarian assistances, sustaining the livelihoods of the vulnerable nationals, conducting capacity building exercises for the civil servants and citizens and financial resources for the government\u2019s run projects.<\/p>\n
