Overall though prices are higher than the five-year average (about 30 percent for rainfed sorghum, 40 percent for dry season sorghum, and 12 percent for maize). The ban on cereal exports and maize imports from Nigeria and sorghum and rice from Chad thanks to the opening of certain trade routes (Fotokole- Gambarou, Gobo-Guere), favors an average supply of goods at markets. Continuing insecurity in the arrondissements near Lake Chas and the border with Nigeria which is characterized by attacks by Boko Haram and the theft of livestock, limits pastoralists’ transhumance from arid areas in the south where water and pasturelands are insufficient. Livestock prices remain below-average and terms of trade do not favor pastoralists. Except for the central market in Maroua, the sale of a goat in most markets does not pay enough money to purchase 50kg of cereal. At the end of this market gardening season, onion prices have improved compared to the previous month, but remain 30 percent below the five-year average in the main production areas (Mayo Kani, Mayo Tsanaga, Mayo-Sava). Normally the lean season begins in June, but since mid-April, the majority of poor host households and displaced people have depended completely on markets with limited incomes. As a result, they have reduced the number of meals consumed per day from three to two. Some households have substituted rice for sorghum because of its higher price. Food distribution, in Logone-Et-Chari and Mayo-Sava Departments, is focused on refugees and some displaced people, and will reach 17 percent of the population facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) food insecurity during the period from June to September.

  • Cameroon: Measles
    Information bulletin n° 1 Cameroon: Glide EP-2009-000021-CMR 22 January, 2008 Measles This bulletin has been issued for information only and reflects the current situation and details available at this time. The Federation is not seeking funding or other assistance from donors for this operation. The Cameroon Red Cross National Society will, however, accept direct assistance to provide support to the affected population. An outbreak of measles occurred in Northern Cameroon since early 2008, and intensified with the arrival of Chadian refugees in that locality in February 2008. Since then, a total number of 355 cases of measles have been registered in the region, including 64 cases in January 2009. The Northern region of Cameroon is divided into 15 health zones, 10 of which have each registered at least one case of measles since early 2009. The average age of the people affected is 3.5 years, and 50% of the victims are 3 years old. 75% of the victims are below the age of 5, with the youngest being just 4 months old. Government organized an immunization campaign in 2008, but several families deliberately refused to get their children vaccinated. 84% of measles cases registered so far are those children who failed to be vaccinated in 2008, the majority of whom are male children. Since 2008, 17 people have died of measles in that locality. The Cameroon Red Cross Society (CRCS), with the support of the Federation’s Central Africa Regional Representation (CARREP) in Yaoundé (Cameroon) has already started sensitizing the populations to the signs and symptoms of the disease, and referring cases identified to the nearest health centre.

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. Period covered by this update: 11 June to 5 August 2010 Summary: CHF 141,474 was allocated from the IFRC’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) on 11 June 2010 to support the Cameroon Red Cross National Society in delivering assistance to some 800,000 beneficiaries. Since July, ten more health districts have been affected and the Cameroon Red Cross volunteers are carrying out social mobilization in 8 of the 14 health districts concerned. So far, 1,456 cases of cholera and 109 deaths have already been registered, which represents a This place has been chosen as a temporary cholera treatment serious increase of the number of cases centre (Mokolo) managed by Cameroon Red Cross volunteers and deaths compared to those at the Genevieve PIAM – Regional Disaster Response Team. time this DREF operation was launched.

However, the atypical price increases of staple foods (50 percent increase for sorghum compared with its average, despite the export ban on cereals) will significantly worsen their access to food. • The prices of livestock – which is the second largest source of income for households – have continued to fall since last month. The terms of trade are now putting pastoralists at a disadvantage, with higher household sales.

All four broad categories of raptors (vultures, other resident species, Afrotropical, and Palearctic migrants) exhibited a decline in numbers,and only two speciesincreased significantly, against 14 which decreasedand 24 which did not showpopulation changes.Overall, vulturesdeclined by 67%, notably the formerly abundant Hooded (Necrosyrtesmonachus) and White-backed (Gypsafi•canus) Vultures and Rfippell's Griffons (Gypsrueppellii).

Each year, flooding arises from overflow of the Logomatia River, when the flow rate of the Logone River exceeds 1 500 m3/s, and propagates towards the North-West in the yaere, generally between September and December. The yaere is drained to the North by the El Beïd River to the Lake Chad, and subjected to an evaporation rate of nearly 2.7 m/year, while the infiltration is negligible due to clayed soils.
