伊波拉疫情肆虐

On 2 July 2015 heavy rains did not stop the team from working to construct UNICEF tents as part of the Ebola response in Liberia in Unification Town, Margibi County, Liberia. In Margibi County, where the body of a child tested positive for the virus on 29 June, UNICEF social mobilization teams are on the ground conducting door-to-door awareness campaigns on Ebola prevention, to minimize the risk of further infections and to protect and assist those affected. Responding to Liberia’s first confirmed cases of Ebola in more than three months, UNICEF has begun distributing emergency supplies in the affected communities including tents for isolating those under quarantine, hygiene kits and chlorine and buckets for handwashing stations.

A child receives a measles vaccination at the Madina Health Centre in Guéckédou, Guinea, 23 April 2015. For the first time since the start of the Ebola outbreak, Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone are conducting major nationwide immunization campaigns to protect millions of children against preventable but potentially deadly diseases. As World Immunization Week is marked from April 24 to 30, the three countries most affected by Ebola aim to vaccinate more than three million children against diseases such as measles and polio in UNICEF-supported campaigns that involve the provision of vaccines and the training and deployment of thousands of immunization teams. As the immunization campaigns are taking place while the threat of Ebola remains, vaccinators are following strict protocols including the use of protective wear, such as gloves and aprons, as well as regular handwashing. More than 26,000 cases of Ebola and 10,000 deaths have been reported across the three countries where the outbreak has weakened already fragile health systems while disrupting routine health interventions.

概況 -伊波拉病毒繼續在非洲肆虐。根據世界衞生組織數字，截至2014年10月14日為止，全球的確診、可能及懷疑個案已升至9,216宗，造成4,555人死亡。其中塞拉里昂、幾內亞和利比里亞的情況最為嚴重。 -在西非，約有9,000名人士感染伊波拉病毒。同時，3,700名兒童因為伊波拉病毒而失去一名父母或淪為孤兒。當中，有親人縱使未有染病，但亦因為害怕感染病毒而拒絕接收這些孤兒。隨著伊波拉疫情惡化，估計至10月中，這些數字可上升1倍。 -恐懼、誤解及謠言都令人道救援行動變得複雜，令疫情更為肆虐。 UNICEF的行動 1. 社區動員 -在幾內亞，透過上門和公眾活動，我們成功接觸了85,415戶家庭（涉及575,734名人士，當中包括211,924名兒童），提升他們的防疫意識[...]

On 18 March 2015 in Liberia, UNICEF has worked closely with the Government and local communities to develop safety protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of Ebola virus disease (EVD) infection as children have returned to learning.

Soap and other hygiene materials have been distributed, and mass mobilization campaigns on EVD prevention have been conducted nationwide.

伊波拉疫情肆虐報告1

概況 -伊波拉病毒持續爆發，擴散規模史無前例。由2014年3月至今，已有1,603宗證實感染及懷疑感染的個案，病毒在幾內亞、利比里亞、塞拉利昂及尼日利亞已奪去887人的性命。 -以受影響地區及有潛在擴散危機的地區面積計算，是次危機是歷來規模最大的一次。 -伊波拉病毒肆虐的地區，人口流動密集，出入境管制寬鬆。故此，今次爆發的病例與以往的不同，有可能通過航空交通傳播。不論是在偏遠的農村地區，人口稠密的首都城市亦同告錄得感染個案。 UNICEF的行動 © UNICEF/NYHQ2014-1027/Jallanzo 幾內亞 UNICEF繼續為醫院、醫療工作者及其家人提供保護裝備及醫療物資，包括消毒及衞生用品，保護他們的安全。另外，750名伊斯蘭教宗教 領袖伊瑪目，亦獲派發交流[...]
