In Somalia the violence on the civilian population continues to grow by multiplying its devastating effects. In Mogadishu, the fighting has caused an unknown number of deaths and the flight of hundreds of thousands of people, reaching up to a million displaced in a country of just seven million people. We remind you that these displaced people are in extreme situations, not just water food or shelter. Meanwhile, in Mogadishu, hundreds of thousands survive in subhuman conditions also no possibility of assistance, because of the chaos. The same is true in most regions, where security concerns prevent the arrival of emergency assistance where needed.
in Zimbabwe have returned to record countless deaths due to AIDS, continuing the streak of 3,000 fatal victims weekly. Recall that in this country, about 1.8 million people suffer from this disease and only a quarter receive treatment. The prospects are not good: the national health system, other times one of the strongest in southern Africa, is on the verge of collapse, with serious drug supply, a massive exodus of skilled personnel and consequent saturation of patients. Therefore, the government's HIV / AIDS has been paralyzed. All of this is joining the already familiar problems of rampant unemployment, runaway inflation, food shortages, damage (if any) of the water system and sanitation caused by interminable political and economic crisis afflicting the country.
Back in the day were killed yesterday over five thousand people are infected with TB and it is estimated that other twenty-five thousand began to develop, as is customary in recent years. Industry continuing pharmaceutical deaf to this alarming incident, considering that these patients are not a priority, so the latest therapeutic advances back to the sixties, while diagnostic tests are used more than a century old.
With respect to children under five years back were counted over twelve thousand deaths from malnutrition that are being recorded daily, primarily in the Horn of Africa, the Sahel and southern Asia. The lack of financial support is making it impossible to arrive wherever they need the nutrient-rich foods that are made with milk paste Peanut enriched with vitamins that need no refrigeration or preparation. Be prepared food that was successfully developed to save lives quickly and economically, to date, is only available to a minority of children with severe malnutrition. Directed
then we look at Sri Lanka, where the virulent conflict has already passed the quarter century. Trapped by fighting between government forces and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Land, east and north of the country they live in terror of bombing civilians selective killings, suicide attacks, landmines, kidnapping, forced recruitment, extortion, restrictions movement and arbitrary arrests. Hundreds of thousands of people have fled their homes since fighting resumed in August 2006. The outbreak of hostilities, and precisely when it becomes necessary medical intervention in the region near the front line, hospitals are running out of specialists to meet, among others, wounded.
We also get the latest news from
We go now to Colombia, the country with the third highest number of displaced people in the world, after Sudan and Congo, with 3.8 million people from their homes because of ongoing violence generated by drug trafficking. These people are treated by all the warring parties as potential partners rival, besieged by threats of reprisals, isolated from health care ... desperate, they leave their homes with little more than the post to seek refuge in equally threatening conditions and poor in the slums of cities. There, lost in a bureaucratic maze or fear to be recognized as displaced persons, remain outside the health system, exposed to respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases and psychological disorders. Due to insecurity, there are not many displaced persons have the option of returning to their homes, and those who do meet destroyed communities where everything must start from scratch, perhaps until the next shift.
In Myanmar, formerly Burma, where lies one of the world's most isolated populations, almost no investment public health system has collapsed, creating large gaps in care. Particularly serious is the crisis in western Rakhine state, where the Rohingya Muslims no rights of citizenship, live in extremely precarious. In areas of conflict against the Karen and Mon rebels on the border with Thailand, government restrictions have stymied humanitarian aid efforts. Our next punished
Africa. Since late 2005, fighting between government forces and various rebel groups in northern Central African Republic
and international news ended in Chechnya. Four years after the fighting subsided between Russian military and Chechen rebels, displaced tens of thousands fled to neighboring Ingushetia and Dagestan, have returned to their homes. In Grozny, the Chechen capital punishment, reconstruction is progressing well. But these developments do not mean that the crisis could be terminated for the civilian population. Abductions, disappearances, murders and bombings are the order of the day in Ingushetia, North Ossetia and Dagestan, Chechnya while security is still precarious. Against this, basic health services, including gynecology and obstetrics, are very poor, lacking or are outside the scope of the returnees, surviving in miserable conditions.
omitted for lack of time the news reaching us at our office from Iraq, Afghanistan and the occupied Palestinian territories, where deaths and injustices continue to occur as each day, with impunity and without an apparent solution.
nothing else, we bid farewell until the next report. Have a good day.
