SOMALIA CONFLICT: UNICEF & W.H.O. DELIVER HEALTH SUPPLIES to MOGADISHU
16 February 2010 - UNICEF: Mogadishu, Somalia - The escalation of violence in Somalia between government forces and the Al-Shabaab militia is making delivery of aid increasingly difficult. But over a three month period, a campaign supported by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) managed to distribute health packages to nearly half a million women and children throughout the capital, Mogadishu. Since the beginning of February, more than 8,000 people have left the city to escape the fighting that is said to be raging in several areas. Malnutrition is a chronic problem in all areas of Somalia and appears primarily because of drought, flooding or localized conflict. And without access to food, the quality of diet and environmental conditions contribute to the poor nutritional status of children. SOUNDBITE (English) Patrick McCormick, Spokesman, UNICEF: Work being done on nutrition, education, protection health. Problems in southern Somalia are amongst the worst for children in the world without any question. I believe there are some 1.9 million children who are need of some sort of humanitarian assistance at any given time. So its a very critical operation. But over a three month period, a campaign supported by UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) managed to distribute health packages to nearly half a million women and children throughout the capital, Mogadishu. With the help of local authorities and community organizations, children were immunized against polio, measles, diphtheria, whooping cough and tetanus, and received Vitamin A, de-worming tablets and nutritional screening. SOUNDBITE, Halima Elmi, mother of eight (Somali): Our living conditions are not good. We dont have health facilities, no water, no shelter, and we dont have job opportunities. I came today to see health workers who have vaccines. This is what the people need. Micronutrient deficiencies are serious health issues facing the population. Anemia is suspected to be high among women and adolescents, and iodine deficiency is a public health concern as access to iodized salt is extremely low. Part of the success of the campaign was its flexibility, all vaccines, supplies and health workers were on stand-by, ready to begin when and where the security situation allowed. There are more than 1.4 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the Horn of Africa nation owing to escalating violence and a worsening humanitarian situation, with another 560,000 Somalis living as refugees in neighbouring and nearby countries. ....................................................................................
