Highlights
- Expansion of Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) cases including to Mon, Mandalay and Ayeyarwady, in spite of limited data availability: eventbased surveillance of media sources shows worrying signs of AWD spreading, including to flood-affected areas.
- Fears for increase in malaria cases in flood-affected areas in view of absence of vector control and lack of bednet distribution, as well as limited availability of life-saving malaria supplies in health facilities.
- OCHA supporting flood response with 6.5M USD through complementary CERF and MHF funding, including for health interventions.
- Access restrictions impeding access to health, including last-mile delivery of supplies and referrals of life-saving treatment such as emergency obstetrics.
- Suspension of routine immunization programs increasing the risk of measles outbreaks, worsening an already chronically low immunization coverage.
- 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) expected to be launched on 13 December 2024
