”Vapaaehtoiset olivat välittömästi maanjäristyksen jälkeen pelastamassa ihmisiä ja antamassa ensiapua. Juuri nyt keräämme tietoa, jotta avustustoimia saadaan laajennettua vastaamaan valtaviin tarpeisiin”, kertoo maavastaavamme Hannaleena Pölkki Myanmarin Yangonista. 1 / 2

The security situation in eastern #DRC is becoming increasingly critical, forcing many people to take refuge in makeshift camps, with precarious conditions. Today, hundreds of thousands of people are in imminent need of humanitarian aid.

Yesterday, we lost our colleague and friend Hedaya Hamad, Director of the Youth and Volunteers Department, at the PRCS - #Gaza Strip to the bullets of the Israeli occupation in the siege of PRCS headquarters and Al-Amal Hospital in Khan Yunis. 💔Hedaya was killed when, as usual, she rushed to rescue the injured displaced people who were sheltering at PRCS after being shot by Israeli soldiers. Until the last breath, Hedaya embodied the meanings of sacrifice, humanity and volunteerism that she has always believed in throughout her life and the course of her work and volunteering.

WHO statement on reported clusters of respiratory illness in children in northern China

WHO has made an official request to #China for detailed information on an increase in respiratory illnesses and reported clusters of pneumonia in children.

At a press conference on 13 November 2023, Chinese authorities from the National Health Commission reported an increase in incidence of respiratory diseases in China.
Chinese authorities attributed this increase to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions and the circulation of known pathogens such as influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae (a common bacterial infection which typically affects younger children), respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19). Authorities stressed the need for enhanced disease surveillance in healthcare facilities and community settings, as well as strengthening the capacity of the health system to manage patients.

On 21 November, media and ProMED reported clusters of undiagnosed pneumonia in children in northern China. It is unclear if these are associated with the overall increase in respiratory infections previously reported by Chinese authorities, or separate events.

On 22 November, WHO requested additional epidemiologic and clinical information, as well as laboratory results from these reported clusters among children, through the International Health Regulations mechanism.

We have also requested further information about recent trends in the circulation of known pathogens including influenza, SARS-CoV-2, RSV and mycoplasma pneumoniae, and the current burden on health care systems.

WHO is also in contact with clinicians and scientists through our existing technical partnerships and networks in China.

Since mid-October, northern China has reported an increase in influenza-like illness compared to the same period in the previous three years. China has systems in place to capture information on trends in influenza, influenza-like illnesses, RSV, and SARS-CoV-2, and reports to platforms such as the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System.

While WHO seeks this additional information, we recommend that people in China follow measures to reduce the risk of respiratory illness, which include recommended vaccination; keeping distance from people who are ill; staying home when ill; getting tested and medical care as needed; wearing masks as appropriate; ensuring good ventilation; and regular hand-washing.

WHO will continue to provide updates.

Dr. Tom Potokar, our chief surgeon in the European Hospital in #Gaza shares the situation of the healthcare workers and of those civilians affected.

"Is seeing so many destroyed lives, so many shattered bodies, burned bodies, particularly in children... this is such a tragedy".

🚨✋ URGENT PRCS’ evacuation convey, accompanied by the ICRC had to turn back after it left Khan Younis towards Al-Quds Hospital. It had to do so due to relentless bombardment and dangerous situation where the Hospital is located in Tel Al-Hawa. The medical team, patients, and their families; remain besieged in the Hospital with no food, water, or electricity.

We @ICRC are shocked & appalled by the images & reports coming from Al-Shifa hospital in #Gaza.
The unbearably desperate situation for patients & staff trapped inside must stop. Now.
Hospitals, patients, staff & health care must be protected. Period.

[dr.Dewindra W @Dewindra]

I won't comment bout history, politic, who bombed first yada yada, things led to what happen today. No matter what, bombing hospitals, health workers, civilian, school, house of worship (mosque/church etc) remains as an EVIL act and despicable thing to do! Ceasefire now!! #Gaza

[IFRC @ifrc]

The dramatic escalation of hostilities in Israel & Palestine led to immense suffering.

Since day 1, @Mdais teams have been working tirelessly to provide support to those affected.

They are treating the wounded, collecting donor blood & providing psychosocial support.

Just blatant atrocities! They are #notatarget Those patients and hospitals also those civilians that have been killed.. They #neveratarget !!

Severe flooding in Myanmar's south, triggered by relentless monsoon rains since October 7.

TWO more earthquakes struck western Afghanistan today. No damage or casualties reported, but people are left reeling.

@IFRC is committed with the Afghan Red Crescent to work not just in this relief phase, but also in the months to come to rebuild the houses and livelihoods.

[Robert Mardini @robert_mardini]

Our plea @ICRC & @IFRC to the parties to the conflict in #Israel & #Gaza: put an end to this devastating spiral of suffering, on both sides. Human pain & misery cannot be quantified or compared. Humanity must prevail - and the best way to do so is by upholding the rules of #IHL.
