Some 5.8 million people, or nearly half of the country's population, are unsure where their next meal will come from, while the rate of severe food insecurity has now reached 12 percent, double the rate of one year ago.  CE-2015-000182-BDI Complex Emergency Burundi Since April 2015, the political and security situation in Burundi has been tense with violence continuing in the capital, Bujumbura, and in some of the provinces, in the aftermath of President Nkurunziza's decision to run for another term. Since November 2015, apart from the civil unrest, the population has also been affected by multiple emergencies, the impact of which has been exacerbated by the political and security situation. These include the El Niño phenomena, internal displacement, food insecurity, and increased risk of infections and water borne diseases (e.g. cholera and malaria).   DR-2015-000181-IDN Drought Indonesia Over 1.2 million people are in need of food assistance in Indonesia as a drought-related food crisis has been affecting most of the country since August 2015.

Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes.. There are an estimated 130,000 cases of yellow fever reported yearly, causing 44,000 deaths worldwide each year, with 90 percent occurring in Africa.1   EP-2015-000178-CAF 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. 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.
