Souad Syed Iessa, 25, got no prenatal care while fleeing Syria. Once she was ready to deliver, doctors discovered she had life-threatening complications. After a tense four-hour surgery, both she and the baby survived. Photo by Lynsey Addario for Time.

UNFPA also trained health workers and others, improving local capacity to serve these vulnerable women. Noor Alhouda Talaa was terrified to give birth in Greece, without her mother: “Here there is no one to help me.” Photo by Lynsey Addario for Time.

Since 2015, UNFPA has trained 1,350 people in Greece and 200 from the wider region, covering reproductive health, clinical care for rape, case management and related topics. Many of those trained are training others. Photo by Lynsey Addario for Time.
