UNICEF urges more spending to aid young children
UNICEF in its State of the World’s Children report urges governments to boost funding for children from birth to age three, arguing early care yields a seven dollar return for every one dollar spent. It quantifies the cost of universal newborns’ first-start care at eighty billion dollars and calls for birth registration, nutrition, clean water, health care, and violence protection to build future-ready generations.

Saddam hosts Ramadan meals in Baghdad palaces
Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is opening palaces and mansions to thousands of poor Muslims for the iftar during Ramadan. Officials say access to his properties has become a political issue since UN inspectors were denied entry after the 1991 Gulf War. The U.S. has criticized using scarce funds for palaces amid sanctions. In 1998 about 2000 Iraqis stayed at these sites ahead of a possible U.S.-British strike.

The ads had appeared in Stern magazine before the ban.
