Thank you christine this is jewish and i was empty in march mainly because its been raining and are singing the people who live called whats out in the areas that are flooded has been difficult so far rescue efforts have been going on but mainly by helicopter because its very difficult to reach their mother went on have come only just to few people they contradict you many times so the situation hasnt changed much whats likely because we are getting more support all right miss to come are good to have more support is coming through it though you are painting a picture of a very difficult situation under which have to operate but one of the most pressing needs in bandra at the moment would you say at the moment we are worried that the people are getting hungry because all they are washed away to. Spoil the whole yesterday for example i visited two in riyadh where people were displaced hundred people had absolutely nothing to eat so thats quite difficult because we cant leave that much to say i want to take and drop them but trying of might not want to make drugs but hes not that much.

What about the dutch more than that it also means that one hospital which is partially destroyed on for Health Workers for which medication does not use wait times or so however i could see that the situation. Right my last person see you this way if we let you go off to do that the important point here is so were hearing that the water levels are receding but i wondered if the weather forecasts perhaps is going to be telling a different story if they have rain forecast in the coming days.

Its to madagascar now the country experiencing a surge in measles cases according to the w. H. O. From october two thousand and eighteen through the tall fair bracy thousand and nineteen a total of sixty six thousand two hundred and Seventy Eight cases have been reported and nine hundred twenty two deaths have been reported doctors warn against complacency saying often people do not come to the hospital until the problem has reached a really complicated stage thats a question. Measles is a highly contagious and infectious virus writers as preventable would have seen that cost only a few cents yet in madagascar the number of cases rose by five thousand percent last year doctors are urging patience to get help us early as possible. Love. Has always been considered a common disease. Just because people used traditional remedies to try to cure it. The population has somewhat neglected the symptoms of measles and they only come to hospital when its at a really complicated stage. The World Health Organization says thats not the only problem in madagascar Food Shortages are chronic. Malnutrition paves the way for me. And the most severe cases of measles reported in children one malnourished focus so much. On a global level that. Conflict complacency and a growing hesitance not to vaccinate children threaten to undo decades of work to eradicate the disease. Nigeria has also had a particularly bad experience with the camps to checking measles but now the number of measles infections is generally on the decline in the country to talk some more about this im joined by o. B. O. Era is a unity of health and measles specialist hes based in. Welcome to africa. In the pas nigeria what is performing poorly in combat measles why was that. Ok first of all and thank you so much dr youre is a very low Health Specialist and unicef ok niger i was performing by live this all first of all because of the quality of campaigns i reckon dont take in the past and also our new level of routine even as a strong coverage now i have its an innocent coverage from missiles and hold on around eighty to felton percent but for now rejuvenated and for by the federal government of nigeria to andres issue of routine immunization its one of the reasons why are caught in a very Good Progress towards missiles elimination i mean addition to that to quality of Computers Company down was done in two thousand and seventeen and eighteen was very very high is on the type of strike that is now not engaged during the preparation and implementation of the missiles. So that was also a very very good positive for the country right now were noticing that in the developed world for example part of the problem is that people are anti vaccines is that on an issue in nigeria and then countries in africa. Yeah we also have that doesnt usually nigeria box. Stuff a few nice and unicef american continents walk in and day to day with their comical intimate level of history to address it concertino do you actually sense why some of them dont and fast and so were developing countries on strategies to address that my last visit to you and very briefly if you could what kind of the african countries learn from nigerias experience. Ok well one of the good things like our countries to do and to put the big ones on this was the new zone globally strong roots in illinois a strong majerus on their part of actually been very strong in the minors and does it in a national has been declared thats one imagines its a very group of people not. Just to focus on implementing high quality its in a sense of his is the number two but one of the good in primary g. R. Do during their missiles in a sense is not want to go nuts nonbusiness they can count on it in committee. To implement a company that stops l. B. O. Is a bill you know saves health and measles experts coming to us from a village in nigeria. Now its known as the great green wall its an ambitious projects to improve life in africas desert regions by planting a belt of trees across the continent along the sun hell its hoped that the wall will help combat does it if occasion will land is worn away by soil erosion human activity and Climate Change now the great green wall project involves twenty one countries in total with the wall set to run from senegal in west africa all the way across to djibouti in the east now when completed it will stretch a staggering eight thousand kilometers is at a total cost of eight billion dollars although the end point is a long way off cynical has made the most progress so far twelve Million Trees have been planted there in the last decade lets take a look at how the great green wall is already transforming the lives of communities there in the plains of northern senegal cattle herd is a struggling to feed their livestock disaster for cation forces them to go for the south leaving their villages or the jungle where all the men are there someone. Many migrate because where they live is becoming too dry to survive what i have theres no food left we have to move away to look for grass for the animals. Its in places like this that the great green wall can help the trees provide shelter from the wind and soil erosion their roots keep moisture in the ground. Once to trees are planted the soil becomes more fertile. In this kind of microclimate the population is protected against desert if occasion. Theres a journey in the rainy season its now much greener here but its still not easy many trees die with the help of an ngo villagers are trying out new planting techniques. Is to sort of hard to say yes very hard because of the rising temperatures theres a lot of evaporation. So. Theyre only eighty trees projects are here thats not enough we need three hundred or four hundred trees perfect there with your little of both. The wall produces jobs and food for the Community President not care for the livestock destroys all. Luckily thats a fence that wasnt the cows would come here eat the grass and the People Living here would have problems. Look on the other side of the fence theres no grass there anymore. Thanks to the wall people are now encouraged to return to their communities and stay.
