Highlights

NUTRITION

The 2011-2012 agro-pastoral campaign is marked by an important deficit in cereal and forage, and over half of villages in the country have been declared vulnerable to food insecurity. A new food and nutrition crisis now seems inevitable and the Government of Niger is already working on an early emergency response plan in collaboration with its partners. Meanwhile, the number of children treated for Severe Acute Malnutrition (270,924 children as of 20 November 2011) is already well above the expected caseload of 200,000 cases for 2011.

I have put at your disposal a map with a detailed breakdown by country of the number of cholera cases, the number of deaths and the Case Fatality Ratio (CFR). If there is any interest, we can have a WHO expert on cholera available next Tuesday who will be able to elaborate further on this issue.

Five countries: Ghana, DR Congo, Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad accounted for around 90% of the total number of cases and of deaths
