Namibia Drought 2013 A national state of emergency was declared by the Government of Namibia in May 2013 requesting international assistance for an estimated 331 000 people in rural communities classified as food insecure (14% of the total population). Another 450 000 were classed as moderately food insecure and the results of an Inter-Agency Emergency Food Security Assessment indicated that upcoming agricultural production will be poor and exacerbate these issues due to the lowest seasonal rainfall for decades. The Namibia Red Cross Society (NRCS) launched an appeal to intervene in four of the worst affected regions.
Bangladesh Population Movement 2017 October-December 2016: An initial influx of people from Rakhine State in Myanmar to Cox s Bazar takes place with some 87 000 arrivals recorded. These population movements are not a new event in this area. Historically some Muslim communities from Rakhine have been migrating to Bangladesh over the past three decades particularly in the coastal upazilas (sub-districts) of Teknaf and Ukhia in Cox s Bazar district where they live as either refugees or without status. 29 December 2016: BDRCS had a subsequent meeting with Government of Bangladesh (GoB) authorities where they requested RC support. This support was agreed in early January 2017 after the rapid assessments teams returned on 1 January and their findings validated the severity of the situation prompting a decision by BDRCS on 2 January to scale up the humanitarian assistance beyond their regular support. 30th May 2017: Cyclone Mora hit the district with both the camps and 20 000 houses in the surrounding area damaged. In the camps a quarter of buildings were affected and the electricity was shut off. This lack of lighting led to protection concerns with 80% of the camp s residents women and girls. Districts of Bandarban Chittagong Cox s Bazar Khagrachari and Rangamati experience the worst landslides in history with at least 160 human lives lost. 25 August 2017: Violence in Myanmar s state of Rakhine prompts a new influx of people into South East Bangladesh. As of 19 September 2017 the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) reported that an estimated 422 000 people have crossed the border into Bangladesh.
Americas Population Movement 2018 - The deepening political and socio-economic crisis in Venezuela has led to one of the biggest mass displacements in Latin American history. - As of November 2018 there were at least 3m Venezuelans refugees and migrants globally of which 2.4m were residing in Latin American and Caribbean countries (UNHCR). This overall figure could rise to 5.3m by the end of 2019. - There is an estimated population outflow of more than 5 000 Venezuelan migrants per day. - Colombia (approx. 1m) Peru (500k) and Ecuador (220k) host the largest numbers of migrants but many other countries in the region are seeing significant increases in new arrivals. - Many in host countries are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. Food nutrition health water sanitation and hygiene needs have been identified. Protection assistance is also crucial including legal help with documentation in order to access healthcare and employment. - Migrants are at risk of exploitation trafficking and sexual and gender-based violence and the social environment is becoming less hospitable in some host communities in the region.

Pakistan DPR including CTP There is an increased use of cash transfer programming (CTP) in humanitarian response; and it is widely recognized that cash transfers and vouchers can be appropriate and effective tools to support populations affected by disasters in a way that maintains dignity and choice for beneficiaries while stimulating local livelihoods economies and markets. The RCRC Movement has a long history of using CTP in disaster response and it s recognized that adequate preparedness and organizational institutionalization of CTP are critical pre-requisites for an organization to rapidly deliver cash. IFRC and other Movement partners are therefore increasingly working together to improve the cash preparedness of key national societies in disaster prone countries and a Cash in Emergencies framework has been developed including guidance for key CTP preparedness measures to be in place before disaster strikes.

West Africa Ebola 2014 In March 2014 a rapidly evolving outbreak of Ebola haemorrhagic fever started in forested areas of south eastern Guinea. As of 25 March 2014 86 suspected cases including 60 deaths had been reported in Gueckedou Macenta and Kissidougou districts including four health care workers. Thirteen cases tested positive for Ebola virus confirming the first Ebola haemorrhagic fever outbreak in Guinea. The epicentre of Gueckedou borders Liberia and Sierra Leone where there are usually high numbers of people crossing open borders into these neighbouring countries. In March 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) cases were confirmed in Liberia and then in May 2014 in Sierra Leone. EVD cases were confirmed in urban and rural areas of these three countries of intense transmission. Smaller numbers of EVD cases were confirmed in Mali Nigeria and Senegal in August and September 2014 but these countries have all since been declared Ebola free by the World Health Organisation (WHO). Liberia was declared Ebola free in May 2015 but there were further cases in July 2015. In total there have been approximately 28 331 confirmed/probable cases and approximately 11 310 deaths worldwide with the majority of these cases being in Liberia Sierra Leone and Guinea. Approximately 881 healthcare workers have contracted Ebola and 513 healthcare workers have died (information as of 23 September 2015).
Afghanistan Community Health Programme The development of the ARCS Community health care provision through a national programme building on the learning and experiences in community health WASH and nutrition from the previous project undertaken in northern Afghanistan. It will focus specifically on rural and hard to reach areas where 76% of country s population live; including so-called white zones where no governmental healthcare facilities exist 1 where access to healthcare is extremely poor and where the reach of ARCS means that it can have the greatest impact. 1 Areas mapped by the MOPH where no Governmental facilities are present or able to work for security reasons. Current estimates suggest that these areas cover 35% of the country. Once Government control is lost health services are equally disrupted or ceased.
