Epidemic |
Central African Republic |
On 4 December 2015, two children aged 9 and 5 from a hunter family in Lengo village, 15 kilometres from Bakouma in the Mbomou Province, eastern Central African Republic (CAR), were taken to the Bakouma health Centre suffering from unidentified disease with rashes all over their bodies. 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.

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. |

Epidemic |
Brazil |
In May 2015, Zika virus was first confirmed as the cause of an outbreak of a dengue-like disease in northern and eastern Brazil. In the district of Camaçari and the neighboring city Salvador, capital of the state of Bahia, a previously unknown disease affecting patients with flu-like symptoms followed by rash and arthralgia, was shown to be caused by Zika virus by researchers from the Federal University of Bahia using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. The spread followed a pattern similar to an outbreak of chikungunya virus in the same region, another disease previously unknown to the local population. |
