About UNifeed Video

UNifeed enables news providers to cover important global issues by offering timely broadcast-quality video from throughout the UN system.

Material is currently available in three broadcast quality formats: SD PAL576i25, HD1080i60 and HD1080i50. All material is also accompanied by shot lists and story synopses.

Stories come from the global network of UN specialized agencies, funds and programmes, Peacekeeping Operations and UN headquarters. New stories are posted on the UNifeed website as soon as they become available on a daily basis (excluding Saturdays and Sundays).

UNifeed was created by the UN’s Department of Public Information and UNICEF in response to the growing global demand for timely video material with an international focus. It is also supported by UNHCR, UNDP, the World Bank and the Department of Peacekeeping Operations.
