Risultati fasi precedenti:   Aid agencies in Darfur are responding to a cholera outbreak, with their effort concentrated on medical response with treatment provided in dedicated cholera treatment centres. MSF have requested additional support for humanitarian actors to supply cholera vaccinations (OCV oral cholera vaccinations) and in additional WASH response. The main WASH actor in East Chad and in Darfur States is the NGO Solidarties International who have long standing WASH programs in the areas affected, which since 1st June have been re-orientated to cholera response. SI closely coordinates with dedicated cholera response mechanisms, such as the Cholera Task Forces in Western, Central and North Darfur, and it has full access to all locations proposed for intervention. SI teams are already on the ground and actively working on cholera prevention and response activities and thus are able to be mobilised for implementation of additional activities within a short timeframe.
