Online Volunteers widen health and climate awareness in Karbala

Some 200 Online Volunteers supported an awareness campaign highlighting the impact of climate change on health, water, and food safety, managing chronic illnesses, and infection prevention during Arba’in pilgrimage in Karbala, one of the world's largest religious gatherings.

The campaign marked International Youth Day and was made possible through a partnership with the Iraqi Ministry of Health and the United Nations entities, including the United Nations Development Programme, the United Nations Population Fund, the United Nations Volunteers, the World Food Programme and the World Health Organization.
