Yemen |
Yemen is currently grappling with a severe climate emergency, as relentless flooding has swept across the country, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis. Over the past several months, from March through August 2024, catastrophic floods have wreaked across numerous governorates, including Al-Hudaydah, Hajjah, Taiz, Dhamar, Sanaa, Amran, and Saadah deeply impacting approximately 39,765 households, according to the Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRC). The floods have led to significant loss of life and have left over 278,355 people in urgent need of assistance. The impact has been particularly devastating in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) sites and surrounding communities, where homes, farms, and livelihoods have been destroyed. The situation is compounded by the challenges in accessing affected areas, as the movement of landmines, road damage, and the widespread nature of the impacted communities hinder the delivery of essential aid. These floods have not only inflicted widespread damage on infrastructure and homes but have also intensified vulnerabilities, particularly among IDPs who were already living in precarious conditions. The convergence of the floods with Yemen's protracted conflict has created urgent needs in shelter, health services, and food security, further complicated by significant health risks, including potential outbreaks of waterborne diseases and the displacement of unexploded ordnances. This dire situation underscores the critical need for a coordinated and enhanced response to address the compounded impacts of climate-induced disasters amid ongoing conflict. |

Dengue continues to be the arbovirus with the highest number of reported cases in the Americas region, with outbreaks occurring on a cyclical basis every 3 to 5 years. During the year 2024 between epidemiological weeks (SE, for its acronym in Spanish) 1 and 16 of 2024, a total of 6,769,140 suspected cases of dengue were reported (cumulative incidence of 717 cases per 100,000 population). This ígure represents an increase of 206% compared with the same period in 2023 and 387% compared with the average for the last 5 years (1).
On 16 February 2024, in view of the exponential increase in dengue cases observed in the írst weeks of the year in several countries of the Region of the Americas, PAHO made an urgent appeal to Member States. The organization emphasized the need to intensify vector control measures and to maintain active surveillance, ensuring early diagnosis and timely treatment of cases (2).
On 7 March 2024, the Ministry of Public Health and Social Assistance (MSPAS, for its acronym in Spanish) of Guatemala, through the Directorate of Epidemiology and Risk Management, issued an epidemiological alert for dengue (3). This alert was established to reinforce dengue control and prevention plans, based on data accumulated up to epidemiological week 7, which ended on 17 February. As of that date, a total of 6,760 cases of dengue fever had been recorded this year, of which 31 were severe cases resulting in 3 deaths. The decision to issue this alert was motivated by the beginning of the high dengue transmission season in the country. As part of this measure, speciíc epidemiological surveillance actions were reinforced, including standardized protocols for the detection, notiícation, and registration of cases in hospitals and health areas. |

The epidemiological curve of suspected measles cases demonstrates a rising trend since the third week of November 2023. This could be explained by increased community transmission exacerbated by the winter season and low immunization coverage. During week 15-2024, a total of 1,323 suspected cases and 4 associated deaths were reported. This represents a decrease of 13.8% in suspected cases when compared to the preceding week. The 4 deaths were reported from 3 provinces: Herat (2), Kandahar (1), and Nimroz (1); all deaths were under-five children, while 1 of them was female. Since the beginning of 2024, a total of 17,428 suspected measles cases and 87 deaths (CFR=0.5%) were reported. Among suspected measles cases, 14,022 (80.5%) were under-five children, and 7,862 (45.1%) were females.
