(based on “Scenario 2”) Host National Society Presence (volunteers, staff, branches): Gabonese Red Cross Society - 2,700 volunteers and 14 employees, with 15 local committees and 54 branches. Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners actively involved in the operation: International Committee of Red Cross, and International Federation of Red Cross and Crescent Societies Other partner organizations actively involved in the operation: Ministry of Interior, United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs A. Situation analysis Description of the Disaster In Gabon, since the 1990 National Conference, which saw the establishment of a multi political party system, the electoral process has always been contested. In some instances, this has led to violence between security forces and supporters of parties opposing the election results. In August 2009, the results of the presidential election, led to demonstrations, destruction of property and loss of life in the cities of Libreville, Oyem and Port-Gentil. On 28 August 2016, Presidential election is planned in Gabon, which is expected to be stormy. Since 2009, the political situation in Gabon has remained volatile.

    GABON COVID-19 Situation Report – #07 Reporting period: 24 June- 22 July Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Situation in Numbers 6 ,433 COVID-19 confirmed cases 46 deaths 400,000 Children affected by COVID-19 school closures US$ 1,600,000 funding required © UNICEF Gabon/2020/MENFP As of July 22, up to 6,433 COVID-19 cases were reported in Gabon with an overall downward trend indicating that the pandemic is flattening if not slightly decreasing. It was documented that the infection rate fell from above 20% at the onset of the pandemic to currently around 12%. Over 59,671 tests were carried out and the testing capacity substantially increased both in terms of equipment and provincial coverage as four more new laboratories were operationalized in 5 out of 9 provinces during the reporting period. This benefited Port-Gentil, the Economic capital and the second most populated province in the Country as well as Oyem where polyvalent testing centers were set up. The death toll remains as low as 1% with 46 fatalities and the recovery rate improved, rising from 44% to 57%. For the disaggregated data, women represent 42%, men 58%, under five children 1% and children aged 5 to 18 years 6.5%. Four months since the first reported positive case, the COVID-19 National Steering Committee has in its first comprehensive assessment confirmed the downward infection tendency, the significant decrease of hospitalization and the steady improvement of the recovery rate recommending thus the waiver of main health facilities requisition. The Government has lifted most of the lockdown measures by June the 30th mainly with the restoration of interprovincial commuting and partially of the international flights, hotel and restaurant reopening as well as the easing of the nightly curfew hours.
