Tropical Cyclone |
Philippines |
According to the Philippines Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) as of 11:00 on 28 November 2019, Tropical Storm (TS) TISOY is approximately 1,430km east of the Visaya group of islands, moving slowly at around 10kph west northwest. PAGASA reports that Tisoy currently has maximum sustained winds of 120kph near the centre and gustiness of up to 150kph. On entering the Philippine Area of Responsibility between 1 and 2 December 2019 it will be locally named ?KAMMURI?. PAGASA said steady intensification is likely. Longer range models predict it could intensive to a Category 4 typhoon. Tisoy is expected to make landfall over Camarines Sur or Catanduanes provinces. It is possible that the TS will then make multiple landfalls as it traverses across the outlying islands which form Luzon. TS Tisoy will be the Philippines 20th tropical cyclone in 2019. |

Sudan |
On 10 October 2019, the Sudan International Health Regulations (IHR) National Focal Point (NFP) notified WHO of 99 suspected cases of dengue fever in Kassala State. The first reported case presented to the health facilities on 8 August 2019...From 8 August through 4 November 2019, a total of 1,197 suspected cases of dengue fever including five deaths have been reported from seven states: Kassala (1,111 cases; 3 deaths), West Darfur (43 cases; 1 death), North Darfur (29 cases; 1 death), Red Sea (9 cases; 0 deaths), South Darfur (3 cases; 0 deaths), Gadarif (1 case; 0 deaths) and North Kordofan (1 case; 0 deaths)...The current dengue fever outbreak is coinciding with other ongoing outbreaks of chikungunya, rift valley fever, malaria, and cholera. Control and response capacities of the public health sector is limited; years of political and civil conflicts have reduced the country capacity to control and prevent outbreaks...The high likelihood of co-infection with chikungunya and/or malaria complicates case management and may result in poor prognosis. |

Bolivia |
On November 10, the President of the Republic of Bolivia resigned from the executive, after a series of events, demonstrations, and protests triggered by the election process held on October 20, where a delegation of the Organization of American States that monitored and audited the elections in Bolivia reported irregularities during the process. This situation has triggered a series of blockades, paralyses, looting at the national level promoted by the civilian population linked to the political parties of the election process, generating confrontations with the forces of public order.
According to the Inter-American Confederation of Human Rights and the Ombudsman's Office of Bolivia, 23 people died during the period of demonstrations and protests, 715 were injured, of whom 631 were men and 84 women, 659 were wounded by civilians and 56 by the police, in addition to 1,112 detainees, of whom 50 are still being detained. The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has expressed concern about the unnecessary and disproportionate use of force and repression. |

Complex Emergency |
Burkina Faso |
Escalating violence and insecurity have sparked an unprecedented humanitarian crisis in parts of Burkina Faso, Mali and western Niger. In one year, the number of internally displaced people across the region has increased five-fold. The crisis is
affecting extremely vulnerable families, compounding the impact of food insecurity, malnutrition and epidemics. Around 1.8 million people are currently food insecure. Armed attacks, which reached a new peak in May, are directly targeting schools
and forcing health centres to close, jeopardising the future of thousands of children and depriving violence-affected communities of critical services. The Humanitarian Response Plan of Burkina Faso had been revised in July to reflect the rapid
deterioration of the situation. In 2019, 5.4 million people in the affected regions need urgent assistance, including 3.2 million in Mali, 1.5 million in Burkina Faso, and 700,000 people in western Niger. In support of national and local authorities,
humanitarian partners are stepping up operations to save lives and alleviate human suffering. Some US$689 million are required to assist 4.1 million people in the three countries. As of August, only a third of the funds had been received. Beyond
immediate humanitarian action, a coordinated approach integrating cross-border dynamics is required to reverse the spread of conflict and bring meaningful improvement in the lives of millions of affected people.

The crisis was triggered when, on the recommendation of a panel of Public Transport experts, the government decided to increase the price of the Metro ticket by 30 pesos, reaching a maximum of 830 pesos (approximately US$1.17). As a form of protest, students began to carry out massive evasions in the subway, raising turnstiles to enter the platforms without paying. The government then decreed a state of emergency, which meant the deployment of the military who, also, ordered a curfew from Saturday, October 19. This measure resulted in violent manifestations and looting. The government was forced to give in and announced, on Saturday night, the suspension of the increase in the subway tariff. Still, none of these measures and announcements attenuated the mobilizations.
On Sunday, October 20, cities such as Santiago, Valparaíso, and Concepcion dawned with severe damage to buildings and public spaces, in addition to stoppages in ports and roadblocks. Monday''s classes were suspended in Concepción and 43 communes of Santiago. It is estimated that at least 18 people have died and more than 5,000 have been arrested.
Demonstrations resumed in Santiago on Monday, October 21, after at least 50 wounded soldiers and police were registered on Sunday night, and more than 350 places were looted. More than a hundred supermarkets were robbed.
On Tuesday, October 22, the government promised social reforms such as raising the minimum wage and raising the basic pension by 20% to decrease the social tensions, but demonstrations and differences between students and armed forces remain.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and former President of Chile called for dialogue between the government and civil society to calm the situation. |
