Other |
Kenya |
Twenty years after the first Somali refugees fled the crisis that ousted President Siad Barre, more than 900,000 Somalis are now refugees in neighboring countries and some 1.5 million are internally displaced. Thousands of them continue to pour across the border to north-eastern of Kenya into the largest refugee complex in the world (Dadaab). Consequent years of drought, shrinking humanitarian space and lack of access to the affected populations in South-Central Somalia, especially in areas where famine is declared and are largely controlled by Alshabab Militant movement, have worsened the food insecurity conditions and triggered population influx towards neighboring countries, with Kenya being the largest recipient country |

Tech. Disaster |
New Zealand |
On Wednesday, a stranded cargo ship, the Rena, had run aground after an oil spill on the Astrolable Reef off port Tarunga, New Zealand.
The Maritime New Zealand estimates 350 tonnes of oil leaked from the Rena, and it is believed the ship had 1,900 tonnes of oil and diesel on-board. Despite an International salvage response to refloat the vessel the situation has worsened over the past few days due to the adverse weather conditions.
The Rena has suffered substantial structure failure, with cracks appearing in the hull. This has been caused by the movement of the vessel as the stern, which has remained afloat, shifting with the waves, while the front part of the ship remains stuck on the reef.
Urgent aerial surveillance is required. Current weather conditions are hampering such operations. Suitable EOS applications are now required to assist in the detection of pollution. The owners of the ship are making every effort to minimise any further damages to the environment.
International Disaster Charter (IDC) has been triggered by this event. |
