| Ethiopia: Humanitarian Bulletin - Weekly Humanitarian Highlights in Ethiopia, 08 November 2011 Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:27:49 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia Health Update Following unconfirmed reports of an increase in new cases of acute diarrhoeal disease (ADD) in Debeweyin woreda, Somali region, the Regional Health Bureau (RHB) deployed a team to the area for further investigation. A new case of AWD was also reported in Haro Maya woreda, East Harerge zone of Oromia region, in the past week. The good seasonal (deyr/hagaya) rainfall currently falling in most parts of the southern and southeastern lowlands of the country poses an increased risk of flooding and AWD outbreaks. WHO and partners, together with the Somali RHB, are advocating for the initiation of an inter-regional (Hareri, Dire Dawa, Somali, Afar and Oromia) and cross border (Ethio-Djibouti) AWD taskforce. To respond to current and potential outbreaks, WHO and UNICEF supported a five-day training on AWD case management for 27 pastoral health extension workers (HEW) in Warder town (Somali Region) and WHO pre-positioned AWD drugs in the region. UNICEF has distributed water treatment chemicals to East Harerge zone and is working with the Oromia regional authorities to assess WASH needs and pre-position supplies as part of the ongoing preparations for the Dire Shekhusen religious event held annually in Bale zone. The festival will start on 12 November 2011, with around 700,000 people expected to participate. |
