Yemen fighting pushes nearly 3,000 to Djibouti in less than a week: UN    Nearly 3,000 people have fled Yemen for Djibouti in less than a week as escalating violence drives growing displacement within the country and across its borders, the UN refugee agency said Friday. “Refugees continue to arrive by boat through Obock, Khor Angar, Moulhoule and Godoria after difficult journeys in small vessels,” UNHCR representative in Djibouti Sandrine Desamours told reporters in Geneva, Anadolu Agency reported. More than half of those crossing the Bab el-Mandeb Strait are women and children, while some families have been displaced for a second time after previously fleeing Yemen during the 2015 crisis and later returning. UNHCR is preparing for at least 10,000 new arrivals but warned that capacity is rapidly diminishing. Markazi refugee village, designed for 5,000 people, was already hosting more than 2,700 Yemenis and 1,500 Eritreans. More than 100,000 people have also been displaced ins...

 Imo State Confirms Diphtheria Outbreak in Mbutu, Issues Urgent Safety Guidelines


The Imo State Government has officially confirmed an outbreak of diphtheria in Mbutu community, Aboh Mbaise Local Government Area, following laboratory confirmation of multiple suspected cases. The announcement, made by the State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Chioma Egu, in a statement on Saturday, has prompted immediate action to contain the spread of the highly contagious bacterial disease.


According to Dr. Egu, the Ministry of Health has activated its rapid response mechanisms to address the outbreak. “We understand the concerns this may raise among residents and stakeholders, but we reassure the public that the situation is under control,” Egu stated. She emphasized that surveillance and medical response teams have been deployed to Mbutu to ensure swift identification, isolation, and treatment of cases.


The ministry has outlined several response measures, including:

- Free treatment and case management for all confirmed and suspected cases.

- Active case search and contact tracing in Mbutu and surrounding areas.

- Public awareness campaigns to educate residents on preventive measures.

- Provision of diphtheria antitoxins and essential antibiotics.

- Targeted immunization drives, particularly for children, who are most at risk.


Dr. Egu urged residents, especially those in Mbutu and neighboring communities, to remain calm and cooperate with health workers. She highlighted that diphtheria is vaccine-preventable and treatable with early detection. Symptoms to watch for include sore throat, fever, difficulty breathing, or neck swelling. The public is encouraged to report suspected cases to the nearest health facility or contact the state’s disease surveillance team at 08036718000.


The commissioner reaffirmed the state’s commitment to public health, aligning with Governor Hope Uzodinma’s vision for a resilient health system. “We will continue to provide timely updates as the situation evolves,” she added.


Investigations reveal that the outbreak has already claimed six lives in Aboh Mbaise, prompting the closure of public and private schools in the area to curb further spread. The development has heightened concerns among residents, who are urged to avoid unnecessary social contact and adhere to preventive measures.


The Imo State Government’s swift response aims to contain the outbreak and protect citizens, but the situation underscores the need for heightened vigilance and compliance with health directives across the state.
