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 |

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.

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.
A state of natural disaster for Western division of Fiji has been officially declared by the Fijian Government.

Epidemic |
Sierra Leone |
The Ministry of Health and Sanitation has officially declared the cholera outbreak in 3 branches/districts in the country on the 8th March 2012.No one knows exactly how it started, but health authorities believe that it may have started in Kambia one of the affected branches which shares boundary with Guinea. 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. |

Burkina Faso |
The conflict which forced many people to leave Northern Mali to Burkina Faso has further weakened the region that has been facing the risk of food insecurity. 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. |
