On the 10 December 2015, in response to the outbreak in Bangassou, the WHO facilitated an initial assessment carried out by the Ministry of Health (MoH) in the affected province and a joint mission was undertaken by the health district and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) Belgium. On 17 December 2015, the children were later transferred to the Bangassou Regional hospital run by an international non-governmental organization (NGO) and MSF. While at the hospital, the children's condition got worse. As such, samples were taken and sent to the Pasteur Institute of Bangui for Laboratory test. On the 29 December 2015, following the testing of samples and diagnosis, the Minister of Health declared a Monkey-pox epidemic outbreak and requested World Health Organization (WHO)'s support in carrying out further analysis and immediate response.   OT-2015-000177-HTI Other Haiti Over the past two decades, Haiti has registered collective deportations of tens of thousands of Haitian migrants, most during election periods. An agreement on a repatriation mechanisms protocol was signed in 1999 between the Dominican Republic and Haiti; however, it was never implemented. A review of this protocol has been requested by the Haitian government. In the current environment, it is imperative that steps be considered in order to manage all cases that correspond to the three categories of people identified as migrants and their descendants under Dominican law as: - Group A: People born to foreign parents in the Dominican Republic and recorded in the civil status registries and members of their families; - Group B: Those born in the Dominican Republic, but who have never been recorded in the civil status registries; There is a third category, which consists of economic migrants in irregular situations: - Group C: Immigrants in the Dominican Republic in irregular situations (mostly Haitian) are estimated at over 300,000 people, with around 250,000 who do not have documentation. Currently, there are operations to deport irregular migrants operations (from 500 to 1,000 per week according to information gathered from civil society organizations present at the border), and the deportations are mostly outside of any established repatriation mechanism between the two countries. According to the reports, in addition to the four official border crossings, hundreds of illegal crossing points are used, making the process of identification and the provision of assistance to affected populations very difficult. The Haitian government considers the risks associated with mass deportations as high, with the possibility of spontaneous movements of population on both sides of the border, accompanied by acts of violence or riots.  FL-2015-000176-BDI Flood Burundi The current rainy season has been causing severe damages to housing due the El Niño climate event since November 2015, and is expected to continue until May 2016.

Furthermore, some 1000 migrants trying to cross the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border were turned back by Nicaraguan authorities, further compounding their vulnerability due to the uncertainty caused by this refusal to let them pass and forcing them to remain even more time camped in the vicinity of the border. For the Costa Rican authorities, this refusal involves having to set up temporary shelters and services, in addition to the migrants still in transit across Costa Rica and other countries (the latter are not confirmed as yet), which could mean up to 4000 people.   EP-2015-000156-CMR Epidemic Cameroon In Cameroon, a measles epidemic that has been increasing and spreading across the country, with 858 cases now recorded, is now posing significant risk to remote and hard to reach communities.   FL-2015-000155-NGA Flood Nigeria Heavy rains, compounded by the breakdown of dams in some states, have caused floods in 11 states across Nigeria in August and September of this year.
