Among them are 4 million babies who will not survive the first month of life. At the same time, more than half a million women will die in pregnancy, childbirth or soon after. The report says that reducing this toll in line with the Millennium Development Goals depends largely on every mother and every child having the right to access to health care from pregnancy through childbirth, the neonatal period and childhood. </P> <P align=right><A href="http://www.who.int/whr/2005/en/index.html" target=_blank>more...</A></P> <P></P></TD></TR> <TR class=title2 bgColor=#4274a9> <TD height=20><IMG height=20 src="http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/images/spacer.gif" width=1 align=absMiddle> <FONT color=white>&gt;&gt;</FONT> <A name='The Launch of the "Water for Life Decade" on World Water Day: 22 March 2005 '></A><FONT color=white>The Launch of the "Water for Life Decade" on World Water Day: 22 March 2005 </FONT></TD> <TD align=middle><A href="http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/Temp/4_20_2005_5_00_21_PM.htm#up"><FONT color=white><IMG alt=Up src="http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/images/icon_up.gif" border=0> </FONT></A></TD></TR> <TR> <TD class=txt bgColor=buttonface colSpan=2 height=20> <P><IMG hspace=3 src="http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/images/waterday.jpg" align=right border=0> World Water Day (WWD) 2005 was guided by the water decade"s theme <B>Water for Life</B>. 22 March 2005 was the starting day for this International Decade for Action, "Water for Life" 2005 - 2015, proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly. <P align=right><A href="http://www.un.org/waterforlifedecade/" target=_blank>more...</A></P> <P></P></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD vAlign=top align=left background=http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/images/spacer.gif><BR><BR><A href="http://www.bibalex.org/CSSPNewsletter/comments.aspx?Mail=//EMail//">Click here to provide your feedback or comments</A> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE></TD></TR> <TR> <TD height=10><BR><BR><BR> <TABLE id=Table4 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 border=0> <TBODY> <TR> <TD class=footer vAlign=top>Bibliotheca Alexandrina - P.O.
