      Humanitarian Bulletin
      Nigeria
      Issue 02 | 01 April 2013

      Malnutrition remains a critical humanitarian
      challenge
      The situation of children and women in the 8 Sahel States of Nigeria remains critical in
      terms of food insecurity. UNICEF and partners have estimated that 296,500 children
      under-5 will be affected by severe acute malnutrition and an estimated 910,516 by
      moderate acute malnutrition in 2013.
      ...
      HEALTH
       The 2012 flood led to destruction of health facilities limiting access to basic health services in the affected states. In addition, medical staff, supplies and commodities were generally inadequate, while sexual and reproductive health care including emergency obstetric and newborn care were lacking. Also, access to management of childhood illnesses and referral services for life threatening conditions were poorly organized or non-existent. Existing health centres reported high cases of diarrhoeal, malaria and typhoid.
       WHO is providing support to the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) of the Federal Ministry of Health NCDC/FMOH to implement Early Warning and Alert Network (EWARN) in 15 States that were most severely hit by the 2012 Flood disaster. EWARN aims to provide timely disease surveillance and other health events information for detecting and responding rapidly to signals which may indicate disease outbreaks or other public health emergencies.
       The week 10 EWARN report indicates that there were 1065 cases of malaria reported, of these 51 cases (4.8%) described as severe and another 64 cases (6%) affecting pregnant women. In addition, there were 162 cases of diarrhoea reported. Of these, 48 cases (29.6%) were due to diarrhoea with blood while the remaining 114 cases (70.4%) were due to acute watery diarrhoea. WHO in collaboration with the NCDC/Federal Ministry of Health organized a review meeting of all EWARN Coordinators and Facilitators from the target States at Nassarawa from 13-14th March 2013. Gaps were identified and solutions proffered. A work plan for the next 3-months was also developed.

            and North-West zones. South-East and South-West will start the campaign because of:
