Extratropical Cyclone |
Comoros |
Since 24 March, Comoros was hit by heavy rains, particularly on the island of Anjouan. The storm alert due to the tropical cyclone Hellen in the Mozambique Channel was issued on 26 March. Based on the intensity of the rain and the strong winds the Comorian civil security increased the alert to yellow 29 March. In the following days the rain intensified and spread to Grande Comore and Moheli, exacerbated by Tropical Cyclone Hellen.
On Anjouan, the region between Sima and Pomoni in the western part of the island and the northeastern Domoni region are the most affected. In the village of Mahale on the eastern coast of Anjouan, a crack in the ground which apparently appeared a few weeks earlier as the result of an earthquake, has grown wider and deeper due to landslides related to the strength of the rains in the past week. The villagers from Mahale were relocated to the village of Bambao, 8 kilometres north of Mahale, where they are housed in a primary school and in the premises of CFADERE on 31 March. As of 3 April, 350 families representing 1,995 people are displaced from Mahale and are currently housed in schools and warehouses, with the expectation that they will be moved to four temporary camps. It is estimated that the villagers may be displaced for up to three months. The people continue to leave the village and the number of people in the camps is expected to increase substantially in the coming days.
In addition to the exceptional rainfall, storm surges rose above usual limits and and flooded homes lying close to the beaches. The flow of rainwater has also contributed to damaging of homes. A total 18 villages on Anjouan were affected by the subsequent floods. Initial assessments by the government and the Comoros Red Crescent indicate that up to 1,234 households (a total of 6,788 people), are directly affected, including:
- 1009 children under 5 years
- 144 pregnant women,
- 318 seniors.
On Moheli island, 24 villages have been affected by the rains and the winds and 457 households (2,723 people) have seen damage to or destruction of their homes and crops.

Guinea |
On the 21st of March the Government of Guinea confirmed a suspected Viral Haemorrhagic fever outbreak that had been developing since early February as Ebola. Lab tests now confirm 6 suspected cases of Ebola and outbreak response activities are being ramped up significantly.
Figures of case loads and effected areas are still being defined but current government figures are as high as 80 cases and 60 deaths with more cases expected..
The epicentre seems to be a small rural town called Gueckedou in southern Guinea. Gueckedou is extremely close to both the Sierra Leone and Liberian boarders and communities in all three countries are at risk . Initial reports suggest that already 3 suspected cases have been found in Sierra Leone

Guinea Bissau |
Guinea Bissau has been categorized as ?high risk country? by WHO, because of its borders with Guinea , in particular the localities of Gabu and Oio, as well as Bafata and Sao Domingo, which border Senegal. The borders are not closed and circulation of persons and goods is a factor of risk aggravation. |

Liberia |
Guinea recorded early this year 134 suspected cases of febrile illness and 83 deaths (including 34 community deaths) in some districts of the Forest Guinea, with a fatality rate of 69 per cent. These highest concentration of cases and deaths are as follows: Guékédou (80 cases/ 54 deaths); Macenta (26 cases/ 14 deaths) and Conakry (15 cases/ 4 deaths).
Faced with this situation, the health authorities of the Administrative Region N'Zérékoré, together with the Institute of Public Health, Infectious Diseases University Hospital, WHO and MSF worked together to confirm the nature of this unusual pathology. A total of 36 samples were taken, of which 12 were sent to the Laboratory of Lyon (France) for confirmation on 17 March 2014. The results of these samples reached Conakry on 21 March, and revealed six positive samples, including three positive for filo virus EVD. Of the three cases positive for Ebola virus disease (EVD), one case moved to Liberia and are all from the health district Macenta.
In Liberia, as of 4 April, there are a total of two confirmed cases, 18 suspected cases and 7 deaths (CFR 31%, of these, only one case was confirmed as death as a result of the EVD), with two cases discharged and 46 others under follow up. There are concerns that close contacts of confirmed deaths EVD have traveled from the effected areas. Current counties with confirmed and/or probable cases are Lofa, Margibi, Bong, Nimba and Monterrado. Isolation centres have been set up in Lofa, Margibi, Bong and Nimba, while the MoH are planning to set up a further centre in JFK Hospital in Monrovia (Monterrado County). |
