Humanitarian vessels continue to receive priority berthing. The weather is reported as poor. • Bossaso – Heavy traffic is expected in the coming weeks at livestock export increases. Berthing priority is based on first come first serve basis, though livestock and cement cargo vessels are given priority. • Berbera – Adverse weather conditions and high seas have been reported throughout the week, delaying berthing of vessels at anchorage. Berthing priority continues to be given to containerised and humanitarian cargo. Strong winds have been reported. • Djibouti – The port is congested, and has been experiencing congestion for most of the week: 3 additional vessels are expected to arrive at the port in the coming days.

The Logistics Cluster common storage facility will be erected shortly and will be used for short-term storage only until onward movements to Maban County are consolidated. • The Logistics Cluster bi-weekly meeting was held in Juba. Organisations were informed of the critical access constraints and numerous reports of deteriorating airstrip conditions in Yida. • During last week’s UNHAS meeting, they announced that several airstrips are lacking dedicated and trained focal points. The Logistics Cluster has been informing organisations of the potential suspension of UNHAS flights if focal points are not identified and is working with partners in Yida to assist UNHAS with identifying a potential focal point. • A Logistics Cluster Officer in Yida has been tasked with compiling agency charter flight information and timings and is coordinating with organisations to ensure airstrip congestion and additional flight accidents are avoided. • The Logistics Cluster participated in the CHF Emergency Funding review supporting OCHA in determining projects and funding priorities for the refugee response in Unity and Upper Nile States.

  • Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature
    SocArXiv Preprint: May 25, 2020 Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature Yusuke Arima1* [email protected] Hideki Kikumoto2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Global suicide rates vary by country1, yet the cause of this variability has not yet been explained satisfactorily2,3. In this study, we analyzed averaged suicide rates4 and annual mean temperature in the early 21st century for 183 countries worldwide, and our results suggest that suicide rates vary with climatic temperature. The lowest suicide rates were found for countries with annual mean temperatures of approximately 20 °C. The correlation suicide rate and temperature is much stronger at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. In the countries with higher temperature, high suicide rates appear with its temperature over about 25 °C. We also investigated the variation in suicide rates with climate based on the Köppen–Geiger climate classification5, and found suicide rates to be low in countries in dry zones regardless of annual mean temperature. Moreover, there were distinct trends in the suicide rates in island countries. Considering these complicating factors, a clear relationship between suicide rates and temperature is evident, for both hot and cold climate zones, in our dataset. Finally, low suicide rates are typically found in countries with annual mean temperatures within the established human thermal comfort range. This suggests that climatic temperature may affect suicide rates globally by effecting either hot or cold thermal stress on the human body. KEYWORDS Suicide rate, Climatic temperature, Human thermal comfort, Köppen–Geiger climate classification Affiliation: 1 Department of Architecture, Polytechnic University of Japan, Tokyo, Japan.

  • Land Insecurity in Khartoum: When Land Titles Fail to Protect Against Public Predation Alice Franck Translated from the French by Oliver Waine
    Land Insecurity in Khartoum: When Land Titles Fail to Protect Against Public Predation Alice Franck Translated from the French by Oliver Waine Series: Land Rights in the Global South. Regularization and Land-Ownership Policies in Low-Income Neighbourhoods The unstable economic and political context in Sudan has encouraged people to invest massively in land in urban areas. In Khartoum, the land rush concerns everyone, from the elite to the working classes – and, above all, the authorities, who maintain a stranglehold over these precious assets. Title deeds are regularly disputed, suggesting that land insecurity is on the increase. Throughout 2016, the Sudanese currency continued to collapse,1 reflecting the ever greater economic difficulties that have affected the country since South Sudan’s independence in July 2011 and the loss of the majority of oil revenues. This economic context, far from calming the long- established Sudanese tradition of fixing the value of assets by investing in land – and urban land in particular – has actually had the opposite effect. Despite (or because of) the deep economic recession, building work and real-estate projects, while less extravagant than during the oil-boom years (2000–2010), have continued to flourish across Khartoum (Choplin and Franck 2010). However, the capitalization process has brought with it a significant change with respect to land in the capital: it has caused an explosion of new forms of conflict, and in particular an increase in the number of cases involving the public authorities, leading paradoxically to a loss of value for land titles, and consequently to widespread (legal) land insecurity.2 Growing land insecurity in low-income neighbourhoods since the secession of South Sudan Between the 1980s and the 2000s, the Sudanese capital experienced a demographic explosion linked to the massive influx of displaced populations following droughts in the Sahel region and the resumption of armed conflict between the north and the south of the country.

  • The Case of Nouakchott
    New Approach to Measure Urban Poverty: THE CASE OF NOUAKCHOTT Paper presented at the XXV111 International Population Conference,. Cape Town, South Africa 29th of October- 4th of November 2017 Dr. Osman Nour Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI) August, 2017 1 / 18 New Approach to Measure Urban Poverty: THE CASE OF NOUAKCHOTT Dr. Osman Nour, Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI) [email protected]; [email protected] I-Introduction and Objectives of the Study: Poverty as a multidimensional phenomenon is perhaps most revealed in urban areas. Urban Poverty is not only characterized by inadequate income, but also by lack of adequate asset base, dwelling, provision of public infrastructure. In addition access to social services such as education and health can be scarce. Poor urban households often suffer limited social safety nets, powerlessness within political system (UN Habitat, 2003). The most common quantitative approach to measure urban poverty alone can underestimate urban poverty, because it does not take into account the extra cost of urban living, such as housing, education, health, electricity, water, transport, and other services. Therefore, income alone cannot capture the many dimensions of urban poverty. Several poverty measure have been introduced to estimate urban poverty, such as "Unsatisfied Basic Needs" (UBN), "Income Poverty Line" (IPL), and others, based on various characteristics of household pertaining to its dwelling conditions, ownership of assets, demographic characteristics, educational level, and employment of household's members. Recently, the Arab Urban Development Institute (AUDI) and the UN Economic and Social Commission for West Asia (ESCWA) have constructed an index to measure Urban Poverty. The main purpose of the index was to measure urban poverty in a simplified and straight forward manner through using short list of highly indicative variables.
