Guidance on Disability Inclusion for GBV Partners in Lebanon
"Explosions can produce unique patterns of injury seldom seen outside combat.
When they do occur, they have the potential to inflict multi-system life-threatening injuries
on many persons simultaneously. The injury patterns following such events are a product of
the composition and amount of the ...materials involved, the surrounding environment,
delivery method (if a bomb), the distance between the victim and the blast, and any
intervening protective barriers or environmental hazards. Because explosions are relatively
infrequent, blast-related injuries can present unique triage, diagnostic, and management
challenges to providers of emergency care. "

Update - 27 June 2018
During the reporting week, the monsoon rains brought 252 mm of rainfall compared to 95 mm during the previous week. The downpour caused 65% of the week’s weather-related incidents (i.e. landslides, wind-storms and floods). Three rain gauges were installed in Chakmarkul (...near Camp 21), Camp 16 and Kutupalong, complementing existing rain gauges in Cox’s Bazar and Teknaf, as well as the Meteorological Station installed by Samaritan Purse in Camp 12. This network of rain gauges provides localized rainfall data at regular intervals throughout the day, which will allow the humanitarian community to better monitor, anticipate and respond to developments within the camps. Relocation of families at risk of landslides and flooding continued; a total of some 200 families have already moved to Camp 20 Extension and more than 100 families to Camp Extension 4. Repair of access roads, culverts, bridges and infrastructure is ongoing with continued attention to preparing for further heavy rains.

En la reunión de alto nivel de las Naciones Unidas del 2018 se fijó el objetivo de tratar al menos a 40 millones de personas con tuberculosis (TB) entre el 2018 y el 2022; sin embargo, en el 2021 ese objetivo solo se había cumplido en un 66%. Las pruebas diagnósticas son fundamentales para logra...r el objetivo, pero constituyen un eslabón débil en la continuidad de la atención. Las pruebas de diagnóstico rápido recomendadas por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (PDRO) son sumamente precisas, acortan el tiempo hasta el inicio del tratamiento, influyen en resultados importantes para el paciente y son costo-eficaces. Aunque el objetivo para el año 2025 es que todos los pacientes notificados se hagan inicialmente una PDRO, en el 2021 tan solo el 38% se hizo una PDRO como prueba inicial, y se determinó que el acceso a las pruebas diagnósticas era un problema crítico. Una de las principales consecuencias del uso insuficiente de las PDRO es la gran brecha en la detección de la farmacorresistencia. La presente Norma de la OMS: Acceso universal a las pruebas de diagnóstico rápido de la tuberculosis se basa en las directrices de la OMS y en el manual operativo conexo
