It’s World Health Day and this year’s focus is “Our Planet, Our Health.”
The World Health Organization is focusing on actions needed to keep humans and the planet healthy and foster a movement to create societies focused on well-being. While they are focusing on how climate change is impacting our planet and our health, we are focusing on how the lives and health of Ukrainians with disabilities are impacted by the Russian invasion.
- Many bomb shelters are inaccessible to people with physical disabilities
