| Democratic Republic of the Congo (the): Situation humanitaire en Republique Democratique du Congo - Note d?information hebdomadaire a la presse, 11 janvier 2012 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 17:14:23 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo (the), Rwanda Des milliers de personnes se seraient deplacees a la suite des attaques FDLR dans le Territoire de Shabunda ? Des milliers de personnes se seraient deplacees a la suite des attaques des Forces democratiques pour de liberation du Rwanda (FDLR) au debut de cette annee dans le Territoire de Shabunda. Ces attaques se seraient accompagnees de serieux cas de protection notamment des incendies de maisons, des tueries, de viols et de pillage des biens. Considerant la difficulte d?acces dans les localites agressees par manque d?infrastructures ou pour raisons de securite, une evaluation de la situation humanitaire n?a pas encore pu etre menee. Les partenaires humanitaires ont pu evacuer une quarantaine de blesses vers les centres de soins. La Mission de l?Organisation des Nations Unies pour la stabilisation en Republique Democratique du Congo (MONUSCO) a, selon les cas, apporte son appui logistique. Par ailleurs, les mouvements de populations vers les zones touchees par des diarrhees choleriformes font craindre une flambee de cas avec la pression qui sera exercee sur les infrastructures d?hygiene et assainissement. Plus de 35 000 personnes deplacees et retournees sur l?axe Walikale - Kibua (Nord-Kivu) ? Plus de 5 200 menages deplaces et retournes (environ 35 000 personnes) se trouvent sur l?axe Walikale ? Kibua dans le Territoire de Walikale, selon une premiere evaluation menee par l?ONG Solidarites International. Ces chiffres sont encore provisoires en attendant la contre verification qui sera faite par l?ONG lors des interventions en biens non alimentaires, eau, hygiene et assainissement. D?autres besoins ont egalement ete identifies notamment en sante, securite alimentaire et education. Ces personnes deplacees et retournees sont le fruit des mouvements de populations au cours du dernier semestre. Depuis la fin novembre 2011, l?est du Territoire de Walikale est a nouveau le theatre des affrontements entre differents groupes armes. ? Dans le cadre de son programme ? Reponse en urgences aux besoins en securite alimentaire aux mouvements des populations ?, le Conseil Norvegien pour les Refugies (NRC) a organise la semaine derniere une foire aux vivres en faveur de 1 051 menages deplaces, retournes et vulnerables de la localite de Kabase (Territoire de Masisi).Chaque menage a recu des coupons equivalant a 60 dollars americains pour acheter des vivres selon les besoins et les priorites pour un mois. ? Dans le cadre du programme de Reponse rapide aux mouvements de populations (RRMP), NRC, en partenariat avec l?UNICEF, vient de finir la construction de 12 salles de classes equipees, 24 cabines latrine et 2 stations d?eau au profit des eleves deplaces, retournes et vulnerables, de deux ecoles primaires dans le Territoire de Beni. Des cas de rougeole confirmes a Faradje (Haut-Uele) ? A la suite d?une mission effectuee du 27 au 29 decembre dans la Zone de sante de Faradje, l?ONG Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) a confirme la rougeole dans ladite zone. Au cours du dernier trimestre de 2011, quelque 210 cas suspects dont trois deces avaient ete rapportes. MSF a forme des infirmiers titulaires et laisse quelques medicaments pour la prise en charge de cas. ? CARITAS/Allemagne a lance, le 2 janvier, un projet de securite alimentaire en faveur de 5 000 menages vulnerables (environ 25 000 personnes) dans les zones de deplacement a Opienge (Territoire de Bafwasende) et Yakoko (Territoire d?Opala), dans le District de la Tshopo. Avec un apport supplementaire de 44 000 dollars americains, l?ONG va poursuivre les travaux de rehabilitation de la route d?Opienge ; travaux en partie finances aussi par le Fonds commun (Pooled fund) en vue de l?elargissement de l?espace humanitaire. |
| South Sudan (Republic of): Weekly Humanitarian Bulletin 30 December 2011 - 5 January 2012 Wed, 11 Jan 2012 09:47:31 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: South Sudan (Republic of), Sudan (the) Highlights: ? A large-scale humanitarian emergency operation is being mobilized to respond to people affected by inter-communal violence in Jonglei State. The key gaps in the operation are the lack of heavy airlift capacity and the need for a surge in relief workers on the ground. ? Since June last year, more than 75,000 people have entered South Sudan, fleeing fighting in Sudan?s Southern Kordofan and Blue Nile states according to the UN Refugee Agency. ? The livelihood and coping capacity of more than 3.6 million South Sudanese are at risk in 2012, due to high food prices, continued displacements and insecurity. |
