The UN Refugee Agency, ACNUR, reported Wednesday that most newcomers are women and children.
Many have come from the Zamzam camp and the city of El Pasher, locations led by paramilitary fast support forces, which have been fighting military government forces for more than two years.
In Chad, the high number of those who arrive are exercising significant tension in overwhelmed resources.
Exhausted and victim
Help teams say that many refugees arrive exhausted after walking for days because they cannot pay transport.
They report being victims of directed attacks, looting and sexual violence.
Numerous children have been injured, separate families and others remain missing, said the refugee agency.
The immediate needs in Chad include shelter, food, medical care and psychological support, but the appeal of response to refugees of $ 409 million is only 20 percent funded.
Syrian returnees desperately need help to start again
Syrians who try to rebuild their lives in their country devastated by war urgently need the support of the rest of the world to help them start again, UN assistance agencies said Wednesday.
Hopes increased this week in Damascus after Donald Trump’s movement to end the punitive sanctions, but after more than 13 years of civil war that ended with the fall of the Assad regime last December, many communities today face a variety of basic problems.
These include unreliable access to electricity, clean water and medical attention.
Destroyed records
The destruction of public records is also preventing the returnees from accessing essential services or claiming housing and land rights, according to the UN Migration Agency, IOM.
Its general director, Amy Pope, insisted that the Syrians were resistant and innovative, but that they needed now. “Enable (they) to return to a country that is on the road to stability and progress is essential for the future of the country,” he insisted.
A new IIM report from more than 1,100 communities throughout Syria discovered that the work is scarce, partly because agriculture and markets are still struggling to recover.
The reconstruction of the shelter is also urgently needed, while unresolved property problems continue to prevent people from joining their communities.
Since January 2024, the UN Agency has registered more than 1.3 million returned returned within Syria, in addition to almost 730,000 arrivals abroad.
Who emits warning about the mortal outbreak of mers in Saudi Arabia
A recent outbreak of the Coronavirus of the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers-Cov) in Saudi Arabia has expressed concerns after two people died from the disease between March and April.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has published updated guidelines to help contain the outbreak, which has seen nine confirmed cases, seven of them in the capital, Riad. Several of the infected were health workers who caught a patient’s virus.
Mers is caused by a zoonotic coronavirus, from the same virus family as Covid-19. While who estimates that the mortality rate is around 36 percent, the true figure may be lower, since mild cases are often not diagnosed.
Despite recent cases, the risk of a broader propagation remains moderate at regional and global level, according to WHO.
Mers is mainly transported by dromedaries and can happen to humans through direct or indirect contact with infected animals.
The transmission of humans to humans generally occurs in medical care environments, through respiratory drops or close contact.
No vaccine, without cure
Like Covid-19, Mers cannot vary from any symptom to serious respiratory diseases, including acute respiratory anguish, and in some cases, death. There is currently no vaccine or specific treatment.
To prevent the virus from spreading, who urges hospitals and clinics to intensify infections prevention and control measures, especially when suspected cases.
Since Mers first identified in 2012, it has caused 858 deaths in 27 countries in the Middle East, Africa and Asia del Sur.
Call Venezuela to end the secret arrest of political opponents
The main independent human rights experts have urged Venezuelan authorities to stop the practice reported to keep political opponents incommunicado.
On an alert on Wednesday, they insisted that these “directed arrests” were illegal and amounted to forced disappearance, a great violation of human rights if an international crime is demonstrated and potentially.
They argued to use secret detention was a deliberate strategy by the State “to silence the figures of the opposition … and instill fear among the population.”
Lack of legal protection
The mission pointed out a general lack of “effective judicial protection” for civil society in Venezuela and accused the State Security Forces of Coludo with the prosecutor’s office.
The supposedly responsible services of the arrests include the National Intelligence Service, the National Guard and military counterintelligence.
The experts in independent mission rights also argued that the criminal courts and the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice were also “accomplices” by ensuring that the alleged crimes were unpunished.
The investigation mission in Venezuela was created by the Human Rights Council in 2019; Its members are not UN staff and work in an independent capacity.
