| Situation humanitaire en Republique Democratique du Congo - Note d?information hebdomadaire a la presse, 27 juillet 2011 Wed, 27 Jul 2011 13:24:17 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo (the), Burundi, Rwanda, United Republic of Tanzania (the) Epidemie de cholera Le Fonds central pour les interventions d?urgence (CERF) vient d?allouer 4 millions de dollars americains (USD), dont 3,26 millions USD au Fonds des Nations Unies pour l?enfance (UNICEF) et pres de 830 000 USD a l?Organisation mondiale de la sante (OMS) pour renforcer les mesures de riposte contre l?epidemie de cholera dans les Provinces du Bandundu, de l?Equateur et dans la Ville de Kinshasa. D?une maniere generale, l?epidemie de cholera continue de progresser dans les trois provinces. Au 25 juillet, 2 627 cas dont177 deces ont ete rapportes, soit un taux de letalite de pres de 7%. La progression de l?epidemie s?est toutefois ralentie dans la Province de Bandundu qui regorge le plus grand nombre de cas, soit 1 399 et 85 deces. Par ailleurs, les progressions les plus alarmantes sont rapportees en Equateur ou le nombre de cas a augmente de 31% entre le 17 et le 25 juillet pour atteindre le nombre de 1 104 cas avec 78 deces, ainsi qu?a Kinshasa ou cette progression est de plus de 50% pendant la meme periode avec 124 cas dont 14 deces. A Kinshasa, l?epidemie qui etait jusque la circonscrite dans deux zones de sante, s?est etendue sur huit autres. En plus de ces trois provinces de l?ouest, la Province Orientale est egalement touchee par l?epidemie avec 1 435 cas dont 3 nouveaux cas enregistres en date du 25 juillet, attestant que l?epidemie est toujours presente dans la ville de Kisangani. La Zone de sante (ZS) de Lubunga est le foyer d?ou est partie l?epidemie au mois de mars dernier avec une cinquantaine de deces sur environ un millier de cas enregistres. L?OMS, l?UNICEF et Medecins sans frontieres (MSF) ont prepositionne des intrants de prise en charge dans toutes les structures sanitaires concernees. Le manque d?acces a l?eau potable ainsi que la degradation des conditions hygieniques dans tous ces milieux seraient a l?origine de la persistance de la maladie. A la date du 25 juillet 2011, l?epidemie a touche 4 062 personnes avec 279 deces dans les Provinces du Bandundu, Equateur, Kinshasa et en Province Orientale. National Le niveau tres bas du fleuve Congo et de ses affluents impose de nouvelles contraintes pour la livraison de vivres du Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM). Les vivres a destination de Kananga et Mbuji-Mayi, transportes jusqu'ici par barges entre Kinshasa et Ilebo ainsi qu?entre Kinshasa et Lusambo (Kasai Oriental), sont desormais convoyes par camions. Au port de Kinshasa, le niveau du fleuve est si bas (trois metres au moins entre le quai et l'eau) que le PAM a du fabriquer une sorte de toboggan avec du bois et des baches, pour faire descendre les sacs de vivres du quai vers la berge. Les sacs sont ensuite remontes sur la barge de transport par une echelle. |
