Newsletter Issue I January 24, 2021 Newsletter Issue I MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRPERSON Welcome to the First Issue of the COVID-19 Horn Emergency Task Force (HETaF) Newsletter! The COVID-19 pandemic has been a big challenge for the whole world. On March 25, 2020, HETaF was founded by several volunteer groups to address the various challenges the pandemic brings to Ethiopia in general, with specific focus on the eastern regions of the country. Our group mainly consists of healthcare professionals and development experts with extensive experience, from locations all over Ethiopia, such as Addis Ababa, Asaita, Awash, Deder, Dire Dawa, Harar, Jigjiga, and Semera. On top of this, our two hundred team members span at least twenty other nations around the world. The group’s members represent many of the diverse nationalities residing in the eastern regions, such as Afars, Amharas, Hararis, Oromos, and Somalis. The group also includes community leaders, youth, and women's group members, and activists from various regions.We have been going through very rough and difficult times due to the pandemic, with the Afar region flooding further escalating the problem and demanding another urgent response. However, by working together as one team, we managed to overcome the hurdles and emerge to be even stronger as a community and as a nation. I take great pride in what our organization has thus far been able to accomplish. We will continue to strive to improve conditions for our nation. With your help, our future will get brighter, as we embark on this mission to provide more support to our beloved community.

Box, 132, Samara, Ethiopia. 1*Email: [email protected] Article Received: 11 December 2019 Article Accepted: 07 February 2020 Article Published: 17 March 2020 ABSTRACT A cross sectional study was carried out from January to July 2014 GC in an attempt to assess and prioritize major camel diseases and identify risk factors in the selected areas of Afar region. Camel owners’ interview and retrospective data analysis were the study methods employed. Relevant collected data were organized, filtered and fed into Microsoft Excel sheet and further analyzed using SPSS statistical tools at P< 0.05. Descriptive statistics was carried to determine frequencies of camel diseases camel. Based on descriptive statistics, the study identified and prioritized 16 camel diseases. Chi-Square analysis was computed to measure the degree of association between disease occurrence and risk factors (age, sex, study area and season). Binomial and multinomial logistic regression analyzes were computed at P<0.05 to measure the significance of associated risk factors on disease occurrence. Statistically significant variations (P<0.05) were observed for sex, seasons, age, and study sites on the occurrence of disease with exception kebeles (P>0.05). Though the study duly has revealed numerous diseases of the camel, the actual existence (laboratory based confirmation) and epidemiology of each disease still demands further investigative studies.
