And because of the high mobility of people from one community to another as a result of funerals, trade, and other personal and commercial activities, the disease has spread quickly to other districts/branches, it is envisaged that the epidemics will continue to spread very fast if urgent and appropriate action is not taken to address the unfolding situation. Already other branches/ districts aside from the 3 districts mentioned above are also reporting severe cases of watery diarrhoea .As at March 9th 2012, the total numbers of cases reported from the 3 cholera-declared districts of Port Loko and Kambia in the North and Pujehun in the South are 2,137 with 34 fatalities.  OT-2012-000040-TJK Other Tajikistan The situation in Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomic Oblast (GBAO) worsened compared to the last years , especially in Murgab, where food and fuel prices, the remote location and severe climatic conditions combined with reduced income and unemployment resulted in food insecurity of almost a quarter of the population.   FL-2012-000039-CHL Flood Chile Heavy rains have caused river overflows, affecting thousands of people in the Arica y Parinacota, Tarapac? and Magallanes regions.  OT-2012-000038-SDN Other Sudan Population movement across the borders of Sudan and South Sudan started after the secession and formation of the new Republic of South Sudan.

The situation has plunged the people into destitution and deprivation which exposes them to all kinds of risks including diseases the spread of which is facilitated by poor hygiene and sanitation conditions.

More than 11,000 people have already crossed the border in Mauritania. With the poor rainfall registered in 2011, the Hodh Chargui region (where Fassala is located) is already facing an alarming nutrition crisis. The arrival of the Malian refugees constitutes an additional pressure on the poor resources, and this situation deeply weakens an already desperate humanitarian context for both the refugees and the host communities. Therefore, the arrival of these Malian refugees aggravates this gloomy picture.   EP-2012-000023-COG Epidemic Congo, Republic A new cholera outbreak occurred in Betou and the surrounding villages.
