| Democratic Republic of the Congo (the): Situation humanitaire en Republique Democratique du Congo - Note d?information hebdomadaire a la presse, 16 mai 2012 Wed, 16 May 2012 13:33:56 +0000 Source: UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs Country: Democratic Republic of the Congo (the) Le Coordonnateur de l?action humanitaire appelle les belligerants a garantir un acces illimite aux personnes vulnerables ? Le Coordonnateur de l?action humanitaire en RDC, M. Fidele Sarassoro a termine le 11 mai dernier une visite de cinq jours a l?est de la Republique Democratique du Congo (RDC), qui fait face a une aggravation de la crise humanitaire. La reprise des hostilites a l?est, particulierement dans les deux provinces du Kivu, a pousse des milliers de personnes a se deplacer et a mis en mal la capacite de la communaute humanitaire a pourvoir l?assistance pour sauver des vies. Au cours de cette visite, M. Sarassoro s?est entretenu avec des autorites provinciales, des acteurs humanitaires et quelques representants communautaires dans les Uele, et a visite des projets humanitaires finances a travers le Fonds commun (Pooled Fund). Au regard de la gravite de la crise et des difficultes qu?eprouvent les acteurs humanitaires pour atteindre les personnes vulnerables a cause de l?insecurite, le Coordonnateur humanitaire a lance un appel a toutes les parties impliquees dans le conflit pour garantir un acces illimite aux populations vulnerables, pour qu?on reponde a leurs besoins fondamentaux. Epidemies en RDC : Plus de 125 cas de rougeole et plus de 100 nouveaux cas de cholera enregistres chaque jour en RDC. ? Depuis le debut de l?annee jusqu?a la premiere semaine de mai 2012, 15 841 cas de rougeole dont 268 deces ont ete enregistres dans 28 zones de sante en Republique Democratique du Congo (RDC), selon l?Organisation mondiale de la sante (OMS). L?agence onusienne et des partenaires du secteur de la sante preparent actuellement un plan de riposte en urgence dans les nouvelles zones de sante en epidemie et appellent au renforcement de la prise en charge dans les structures sanitaires. Ils plaident egalement pour la participation du Gouvernement congolais a 50% du financement des operations. En 2011, la rougeole avait touche plus de 134 000 personnes et occasionne plus 1 650 deces dans toutes les provinces du pays. ? Au 11 mai 2012, la RDC avait enregistre depuis le debut l?annee 13 994 cas de cholera dont 313 deces, selon les statistiques compilees par l?OMS et le Ministere de la sante. Ce nombre represente une moyenne de 106 nouveaux cas chaque jour avec 2,3 deces. Ce chiffre correspond aussi a 64,5% de l?ensemble de cas notifies en 2011. Le District de l?Ituri, dans la Province Orientale, qui n?avait rapporte que 205 cas en 2011 est aujourd?hui la zone la plus affectee avec 2 864 cas dont 90 deces depuis le debut de l?annee. La Province du Sud-Kivu arrive en deuxieme position avec 2 705 cas dont 16 deces. La tendance du cholera est a la baisse dans les zones ou les interventions sont en cours mais de nouvelles zones de sante - jusque-la non affectees ? commencent a rapporter des cas. Ce qui rend difficile la lutte contre la maladie. Protection des civils dans le Sud-Kivu : tueries, enlevements, pillages et incendies des maisons rapportes ? Depuis le debut du mois de mai, plus d?une cinquantaine de personnes dont des deplaces ont ete tuees par des presumees Forces democratiques de liberation du Rwanda (FDLR) dans le Territoire de Kalehe. Plusieurs maisons ont egalement ete incendiees. Les FDLR soupconnent les habitants de collaborer avec le groupe arme Raia Mutomboki. Le Territoire de Kalehe abrite 35% des 856 000 personnes deplacees au Sud-Kivu. Dans le Territoire de Shabunda, une quarantaine de personnes ont ete enlevees a l?est de Shabunda par des Mayi-Mayi avant d?etre relachees quatre jours plus tard tandis que, dans le Territoire de Fizi, une dizaine de personnes ont ete tuees par balle par des elements armes. En raison de l?insecurite, deux ONG internationales ont evacue leur personnel de Bunyakiri, dans le Territoire de Kalehe, ou un programme d?assistance etait en cours en faveur de 50 000 personnes vulnerables. |
