Too frequently. the bulk of UNFPAs work is overlooked in the international family planning controversy. Many people do not even realize that UNFPA also assists women in crisis situations. UNFPA recently announced it is sending emergency reproductive health hits. including equipment for safe delivery of babies and emergency contraceptives for rape victims. to Albania for thousands of Kosovar Albanian refugee women. The lives of pregnant women and newborns are at particular risk among refugees fleeing Kosovo. These kits include supplies for women who give birth in areas without medical facilities. including materials like soap. plastic sheeting. pictorial instructions for delivering a baby. and razor blades for cutting the umbilical cord of a newborn. These are the most basic of items.
