Ghana |
The Ghana Health Service has officially declared the cholera outbreak in the country. Because of the high mobility of people from one community to another as a result of funerals, trade, and other personal and commercial activities it is envisaged that the epidemics will spread very fast if massive intervention measures are not taken within the shortest possible time. According to the Ghana Health service as at the second week of April 2012 there were 684 reported cases of cholera with 17 deaths, but as at 24th April 2012, over 1,570 cases have been recorded with 21 cases in 2 Regions of Ghana. In Greater Accra region the numbers of reported cases are 1,270 with 20 deaths and Eastern Region 300 confirmed cases with 1 death recorded.
This outbreak spread is related to poor sanitation conditions and migration from affected regions to other regions.

Sudan |
The Red Sea state in the eastern part of Sudan hosts a large population that is predominantly dependent on subsistence farming and pastoralism. The consistent drought cycles have heavily impacted negatively on the community?s coping mechanism, with reports over the last few months documenting a progressive deterioration of the food security situation. The weather conditions over the last two seasons have not been favourable to support rain-fed agriculture practiced by the local people. Consequently, food production and access to food is diminishing and huge food gaps in households is being experienced. According to various reports, the situation is expected to continue deteriorating and not likely to improve until the next harvests are realized. An assessment conducted by the Sudanese Red Crescent Society and its partners in January 2012 confirmed that at least 257,197 people (51,440 households on the basis of five members per family) in the Red Sea state are food insecure and in need of immediate food aid. |

Gambia |
The late, erratic and unevenly distributed rainfall during the 2011/12 cropping season led to a significant decline and low quality of agricultural production in The Gambia. Overall crop production is estimated to drop by 62% compared to 2010 and by 50% compared to the 5-year in average. Compared to last year, particularly affected is the production of key food and cash crops such as rice (-74%), millet (-54%) and groundnut (-64%). This reduces the availability and access of food at household level, thereby increasing the lean period from the normal two month period up to 8 months according to the post harvest assessment report.
Of the 39 rural districts affected, 19 are considered the hardest hit by crop failure with a total population of 428,000, including 73,802 children under the age of 5. 177,000 of the hardest hit are at the borderline meaning they have already started using some coping mechanisms such as reducing number of meals from 3 to 1 meal per day and/or sending some members of family to relatives to reduce the burden |
