Drought |
Papua New Guinea |
The communities in Nissan, Fead, Carterets, Mortlock and Tasman islands in North Bougainville district of the Autonomous Region of Bougainville (AROB) are experiencing drought conditions since November 2024. The persistence of the dry spell prompted the Autonomous Bougainville Government's (ABG) Regional Disaster Centre (BRDC) to conduct a remote disaster needs assessment. According to the BRDC's assessment report dated 26 February 2026, the now 5-month long drought has resulted in the depletion of the communities' water supplies typically stored in rain-fed water tanks. The affected populations, totalling 10,948 persons or 2,248 families or households have begun to resort to sourcing drinking water from dug-out wells and coconuts, and using sea water for cooking. |

Epidemic |
Ghana |
In October 2024, the Ghana Health Service has announced a cholera outbreak affecting five regions in the country, notably: Greater Accra, Central, Western, Eastern and Asanti. As part of the interventions strategies to reverse the spread of the disease, Ghana Health Service in collaboration with UNICEF and partners in November 2024 introduced cholera vaccine- Oral cholera vaccine (OCV).
On December 19, 2024, the outbreak had claimed 27 lives and spread across 36 districts in the Greater Accra, Central, Western, and Eastern regions, with a total of 3,292 reported cases. As of December 23, a cumulative total suspected cases were 4,155 cases and 35 deaths with majority of the dead recorded withing 24 hours. While the number of cases in the Western Region is declining mainly due to the vaccination campaign, there is an increase in geographical spread and a rise in cases in the other regions. Between 24 and 31 december 2024, 29 new cases and 1 new death were recorded, with a cumulative number of 4850 suspected cases from the begining of the epidemic and 1 new affected district. These figures indicate that the epidemic continues to spread and there is a need to continue the initial efforts to ensure an efficient response.
Another fear is that with the recent torrential rains that affected Accra, drainage issues have been exacerbated, raising concerns that if these conditions persist, the situation could worsen significantly. |

Uganda |
Following heavy rains of 27th November 2024 across Bulambuli District and the neighboring districts, the flooding was triggered by the overflow of River Simu, which inundated nearby households, destroyed crops, and disrupted major roads, including Sironko-Kapchorwa and Muyembe-Nakapiripit. This led to the collapse of bridges and transport disruptions. Later that evening, from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM, the conditions also led to landslides events in eight villages in Buluganya parish and other areas in Sooti, Sisiyi, and Bulago sub-counties. While the floods have had impact in the riverine communities, the most significant impact and humanitarian need came from the landslides which caused extensive destruction, displacing thousands of families. |

On 7 November 2024, the National Meteorological Institute (IMN) issued a Meteorological Advisory reporting that, following the indirect influence of Hurricane Rafael, the Intertropical Convergence Zone persisted over the Central American Isthmus. This phenomenon, combined with the passage of Tropical Wave #45, exacerbated soil saturation across various regions of the country, reaching critical levels in both Peninsulas, the North Pacific, South Pacific mountains, Northern Zone, Central Pacific, and Central Valley. Due to the elevated saturation levels, these areas faced significant vulnerability to potential incidents, prompting the IMN to recommend heightened preventive measures |
