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  EP-2012-000045-VNM Epidemic Viet Nam Viet Nam experienced an unprecedented outbreak of hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) in 2011, and while appropriate and effective action was taken by Viet Nam Red Cross working with the authorities, the country, as a whole, continues to experience a disturbingly high incidence of the disease. As of 15 March 2012, the total number of cases reported by all provinces was higher than the annual caseloads in 2009-2010, as well as 7.5 times higher than the same period last year. There is also concern of a further surge of cases in the coming weeks, considering the customary April-May and September-October peaks recorded in previous years.   TC-2012-000044-FJI Tropical Cyclone Fiji Ferocious rains brought on by tropical depression TD17F caused flooding in most parts of Fiji, worsening states that were still revcoering from the Jan/Feb 2012 floods. The tropical storm, which has already killed four people in Fiji, with three young boys missing at sea, has been upgraded to a cyclone Daphene as of today. The western division is the worst affected, particularly the main cities of Sigatoka, Nadi, Lautoka, Tabua, Ba and Rakiraki, all of which have been flooded up to two meters of water in places. Water and electricity supplies are disrupted in the western division, affecting approximately 150,000 people. The extent of damages to houses, schools and infrastructure is currently unknown as access to communities is difficult. The Water Authority Fiji (WAF) reports that in Ba, Tavua, Rakiraki and Sigatoka all pumping stations are out of operation and there is no inflow into treatment plants. In Nadi and Lautoka it is expected there will be no supply of water due to low pressure. The hospital and airport have reserved supplies.

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. The upheaval, its attendant trauma coupled with lack of basic amenities and facilities is not helping the affected population. The number of refugees now stands at 12,297 located in municipalities of Tin Akoff, in the province of Inabao Deou in Oudalan, Gandafabou, Mentao and Soum.   FR-2012-000028-HND Fire Honduras A fire in the Comayagua Farm Penitentiary (Granja Penal de Comayagua) late on the evening of 14 February left hundreds of injured inmates and 366 deaths.   AC-2012-000027-PNG Tech.

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.   8496 hits 340 Pages: 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130	GLIDEnumber: About Glide How to Join Participating Institutions GLIDE-enabled sites Help Topics Disclaimer Get results as: Statistics Charts Tabular Reports Report a Missing Disaster:   If you know about a disaster that is not registered in GLIDEnumber.net: Create/Edit missing disaster report Please note you need to be a registered user to report missing disasters Latest Events: Disasters on or after week 33 From: 2025/8/10  To: 2025/8/19 EQ-2025-000138-IDN Earthquake,Indonesia: GDACS - Medium humanitarian impact, magnitude 5.8M WF-2025-000141-ESP Wild fire,Spain: GDACS - Medium humanitarian impact in Spain.
