UN AGENCY STEPS UP EFFORTS TO HELP NIGER RESPOND TO CHOLERA
EPIDEMICNew York, May 21 2013 4:00PMThe United Nations refugee agency
said today it is working to help contain a cholera epidemic in Niger
that has already claimed seven lives, including those of two Malian
refugees, in a little over a week.

The two refugees are a 45-year-old man who died on 13 May, and a
3-year-old boy who passed away last Sunday, after arriving at the
health centre at a late stage of the disease, which is typically
contracted by consuming contaminated water.

Both were refugees in the Mangaize camp which hosts 15,000 in the
Tillaberi region, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR). To date, 248 cases have been registered in the Tillaberi
region, including with 31 cases among refugees in Mangaize and
Tabareybarey camps.

"We are responding to the outbreak in the camps by implementing
emergency health and sanitation measures, such as increasing the
supply of clean water," UNHCR spokesperson Melissa Fleming
<"http://www.unhcr.org/519b4baa9.html">told reporters in Geneva.

"Together with our partners, we are also providing oral rehydration
solutions, soap and aquatabs. However, more drugs are urgently needed
in the centres to treat potential new cases," she said.

UNHCR is also working to spread public health messages in the camps
through sensitization campaigns. The same measures are being put in
place for the local community in the surrounding areas.

"We are currently reinforcing our team with the arrival yesterday
(Monday) of a regional health co-ordinator who will work with
authorities and partners on additional measures to contain the
epidemic," said Ms. Fleming.

"The implementation of a vaccination campaign for the population at
risk, both inside and outside the refugee camps, is a measure under
consideration."

Last year, a cholera epidemic affected 5,287 people and killed 110
throughout Niger. The region of Tillaberi was the most affected with
4,792 cases and 87 deaths. No refugee died at that time.

UNHCR noted that cholera outbreaks are recurrent in Niger, one of the
poorest countries in the world. Niger is currently hosting some 50,000
Malian refugees who fled the fighting in their homeland, including
31,000 spread across 3 camps in the Tillaberi region.May 21 2013
