GENEVA Nike Air Force 1 Rosa Baratas , Feb. 24 (Xinhua) -- The World Health Organization on Tuesday called on the international community to provide 1 billion U.S. dollars to support its on-going efforts to help people across the Central African Republic (CAR), Iraq, South Sudan and Syria.
Saying that raging conflict and beleaguered health services are threatening the health of about 21 million people in the four countries, WHO stressed that it will treat, immunize and provide the wide range of life-saving health services there.
The organization made the call at a special session at its Geneva headquarters attended by more than 50 donor countries and other Member States.
WHO classified the emergencies in each of the four countries as being "Grade 3" category crises, which require the highest-level of response that the entire organization can deliver.
According to a WHO press release on Tuesday Nike Air Force 1 Grises Baratas , among the 21 million people in the major crises, the majority are women and children, whose needs range from basic health care such as childhood vaccinations to surgical care for severely wounded patients caught up in the conflicts.
"In Iraq and CAR, for example, around one-quarter of hospitals, clinics and other health facilities have been damaged in their respective conflicts Nike Air Force 1 Rojas Baratas , or are not functioning." DR Bruce Aylward, a special representative of WHO, said.
According to the representative, despite all the great challenges, WHO is well placed to lead the delivery of required health care in these major emergencies.
Governments across the world began investigating possible financial wrongdoing by the rich and powerful on Monday after a leak of four decades of documents from a Panamanian law firm that specialized in setting up offshore companies.
The "Panama Papers" revealed financial arrangements of politicians and public figures including friends of Russian President Vladimir Putin, relatives of the prime ministers of Britain Nike Air Force 1 Negras Baratas , Iceland and Pakistan, and the president of Ukraine.
While holding money in offshore companies is not illegal, journalists who received the leaked documents said they could provide evidence of wealth hidden for tax evasion, money laundering, sanctions busting, drug deals or other crimes.
The law firm Nike Air Force 1 Hombre Baratas , Mossack Fonseca, which says it has set up more than 240,000 offshore companies for clients around the globe, denied any wrongdoing and called itself the victim of a campaign against privacy. Mossack Fonseca, in a statement posted on its website on Monday, said media reports had "misrepresented the nature of our work."
"We routinely resign from client engagements when ongoing due diligence and updates to sanctions lists reveal that a beneficial owner of a company for which we provide services is compromised Nike Air Force 1 Blancas Baratas ," it said.
The law firm added that "excluding the professional fees we earn, we do not take possession or custody of clients' money, or have anything to do with any of the direct financial aspects" of their business operations.
Leading figures responded to the leaks with denials as prosecutors and regulators began a review of the reports from the investigation by the U.S.-based International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
The U.S. Department of Justice would determine whether there was evidence of corruption and other violations of U.S. law, a spokesman said. A White House spokesman said that "in spite of the lack of transparency that exists in many of these transactions," there were U.S. experts who could find out whether they violated sanctions and laws.
Financial prosecutors in France announced the opening of a preliminary investigation for aggravated tax fraud.
Germany would also “pick up the ball” in the case, a Finance Ministry spokesman said on Monday. Financial market watchdog Bafin is looking into the matter Nike Air Force 1 Off White Baratas , said a source close to the regulator, which reports to the ministry.
Australia, Austria, Sweden and the Netherlands were among other countries that said they had begun investigating the allegations based on more than 11.5 million documents. Banks came under the spotlight over allegations they helped clients hide their wealth offshore.
In Argentina, political opposition parties demanded an explanation from center-right President Mauricio Macri because he served as a director of an offshore company in the Bahamas related to his wealthy father's business in the past.
In a short television interview, Macri denied any wrongdoing and said the company his father founded was legal.
"It was an offshore company to invest in Brazil www.airforce1-baratas.es , an investment that ultimately wasn't completed, and where I was director," Macri said. "There is nothing strange about this."
In Brazil, where a corruption crisis threatens President Dilma Rousseff's administration, the O Estado de S.Paulo newspaper said politicians from seven parties were named as Mossack Fonseca clients. They did not include politicians from Rousseff's Workers' Party.
Brazil's tax agency said it would verify information about offshore tax avoidance in the documents and could impose fines on undeclared assets in offshore accounts of up to 150 percent of their value.
FORTY YEARS
The documents, covering a period from 1977 until last December Nike Air Force 1 Baratas España , were leaked to more than 100 news organizations around the world in cooperation with the ICIJ.
"I think the leak will prove to be probably the biggest blow the offshore world has ever taken because of the extent of the documents," ICIJ Director Gerard Ryle said.
The Kremlin said the documents contained "nothing concrete and nothing new," while a spokesman for British Prime Minister David Cameron said his late father's reported links to an offshore company were a "private matter."
Pakistan denied any wrongdoing by the family of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif after his daughter and son were linked to offshore companies.
