Operatori di MSF in Liberia - da Msf
08/30/2006 A Monrovia (Liberia), si registra un improvviso aumento di casi di colera, riporta Medici Senza Frontiere (MSF) che ha deciso di riprendere l'unità per il trattamento del colera nell'ospedale cittadino JFK e sta incrementando le sue attività. "La settimana scorsa abbiamo ammesso 125 casi gravi al centro per il trattamento del colera, rispetto ai 46 della settimana precedente" - segnala MSF in Liberia. Intanto il Programma dell’Onu per lo sviluppo (Undp) sulla Liberia ha pubblicato il primo rapporto dalle prime elezioni libere dopo 14 anni di conflitto, che lo scorso anno hanno portato alla presidenza l’economista Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. Dopo aver enumerato le conseguenze del conflitto civile sullo sviluppo umano – “alti tassi di mortalità infantile e materna, ostacoli per la crescita dei bambini e alti tassi di analfabetismo”, nonché fuga di cervelli e bisogno di riforme – il rapporto propone anche soluzioni pratiche affinché il nuovo governo promuova passi avanti nello sforzo di ricostruzione.
