A recent UNICEF report shows South Sudan is one of the most dangerous places to be born, roughly one newborn out of 26 doesnt survive birth or the days immediately following after and only 9 percent of births are attended by a skilled helper or midwife. / AFP PHOTO / Stefanie GLINSKI (Photo credit should read STEFANIE GLINSKI/AFP/Getty Images)
