Bwana Schmale amesema shambulio hilo la usiku wa kuamkia leo katika maeneo ya makazi jijini Kyiv na maeneo ya jirani ni ukiukaji wa kutisha wa sheria za kimataifa za kibinadamu na kwamba matumizi haya ya nguvu yasiyo na maana lazima yakome.

Mkurugenzi Mkuu wa WHO, Dkt. Tedros Ghebreyesus, anasema, “Chanjo zimeokoa maisha ya watu zaidi ya milioni 150 katika kipindi cha miongo mitano iliyopita. Kupunguzwa kwa ufadhili wa afya ya kimataifa kumeweka hatarini mafanikio haya yaliyopatikana kwa juhudi kubwa.”
3.	Na ikiwa pia leo Siku ya kimataifa wasichana katika  Teknolojia ya mawasiliano, ICT, Mshauri wa masoko ya kidijitali nchini Kenya Maryann Mwangi akizungumza na washirika wetu Redio Domus amehimiza wasichana kujikita kwenye ICT kwani huu ndio mustakabali.
