  • Nine People Suspected Dead of Lassa Fever in Benin 2 February 2016
    Nine people suspected dead of Lassa fever in Benin 2 February 2016 As the world ramps up its fight against the Zika bodily fluids of an infected person. virus, West Africa is battling to contain a growing outbreak of Lassa fever with nine people in Benin © 2016 AFP reported dead, a health official told AFP Tuesday. "Right now, there are a total of 20 suspected cases with nine deaths," government health official Orou Bagou Yorou Chabi said. The first Lassa fever case in the West African country of 10 million people was listed at the Hospital of St Martin de Papane, in Tchaourou, a city 350 km (220 miles) north of Cotonou, the United Nations children agency UNICEF said in a statement. An ongoing epidemic in neighbouring Nigeria has already killed 84 people, out of 168 suspected cases, according to UNICEF. Stocks of Ribavirin, a drug used to treat the infection, were being shipped to Tchaourou and Cotonou, the UN agency added. Benin was last hit by a Lassa fever outbreak in October 2014, when nine people suspected of having the virus died. Lassa fever belongs to the same family as Marburg and Ebola, two deadly viruses that lead to infections with fever, vomiting and, in worse case scenarios, haemorrhagic bleeding. Its name is from the town of Lassa in northern Nigeria where it was first identified in 1969. Endemic to the region, Lassa fever is asymptomatic in 80 percent of cases but for others it can cause internal bleeding, especially when diagnosed late. The virus is spread through contact with food or household items contaminated with rats' urine or faeces or after coming in direct contact with the 1 / 2 APA citation: Nine people suspected dead of Lassa fever in Benin (2016, February 2) retrieved 29 September 2021 from https://medicalxpress.com/news/2016-02-people-dead-lassa-fever-benin.html This document is subject to copyright.

  • 2.4 Benin Railway Assessment
    2.4 Benin Railway Assessment Benin railway network was constructed between 1900 and 1936. It’s structured around a single track, narrow gauge (1m) of 577 km in total and divided in three lines: 1. The Central line, from Cotonou to Parakou - 438km. 2. The West line, linked to the central line at Pahou (Pobè) - 32 km from Pahou to Segbohoue via Ouidah. 3. The East line, from Cotonou to Pobe via Porto-Novo, 107 km. For the moment, only the central line is being used and the last two lines have been put out of operation: Cotonou – Pobè and Cotonou – Sègbohoué. In November 2013, Benin and Niger signed a memorandum of understanding for the construction of a railway line linking Cotonou to Niamey, Niger. In addition to linking Parakou with Gaya, this project aimed to rehabilitate and modernize the Cotonou-Parakou railway line. The end of the work was originally scheduled for September 2015 but has been delayed. The governments of Benin and Niger decided to launch the project AFRICARAIL together with Togo and Burkina Faso. The objective of the project is for the first phase to build 1,300 km of rails to connect to the partner countries.

These measures have not remained without consequence on the daily lives of fishers. This paper examines factors influencing fishers’ individual perceived wellbeing satisfaction using the social-ecological system framework. Data on 205 small-scale fishers’ demographic information, perception of job, and individual wellbeing satisfaction and governance subsystems were collected and analysed by the use of an ordered logistic regression. The results demonstrate that job satisfaction Citation: Kpanou, S.B.-V.K.; and ownership of water bodies (in contradiction to Ostrom’s advocation for commons management) Dedehouanou, H.; Chogou, S.K.; affected fishers’ individual perceived wellbeing satisfaction.

  • Benin: Floods GLIDE N° FL-2010-000202-BEN 15 October, 2010
    DREF operation n° MDRBJ007 Benin: Floods GLIDE n° FL-2010-000202-BEN 15 October, 2010 The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) is a source of un-earmarked money created by the Federation in 1985 to ensure that immediate financial support is available for Red Cross and Red Crescent emergency response. The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of National Societies to respond to disasters. CHF 183,673 (USD 191,773 or EUR 137,332) has been allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support the National Society in delivering immediate assistance to 10,000 beneficiaries. Unearmarked funds to repay DREF are encouraged. Summary: Continuous rainfall in Benin and the overflow of the Niger River have caused heavy flooding in many parts of the country since July 2010. Recent precipitations during the last week of September exacerbated flooding that displaced over 150,000 people and caused more than 10 deaths. Household items as wells as houses, farmlands and livestock worth Some of the families displaced by floods: thousands of dollars were submerged Photo: Red Cross of Benin in 22 of the 77 districts in the country. The situation has been compounded by poor hygiene and sanitation practices among the affected population, thus increasing the risk of water-borne diseases. A cholera outbreak has also been in some parts of the country since June 2010 prompting Red Cross of Benin to scale-up hygiene promotion and social mobilisation on the prevention of communicable diseases.
