    Somalia's prime minister says 110 people have died from hunger in the past 48 hours in a single region as a severe drought threatens millions of people across the country.
    It was the first drought-related death toll announced by Somalia's government since it declared a national disaster on Tuesday.
    The United Nations estimates that 5 million people in this Horn of Africa nation need aid, amid warnings of a full-blown famine. Prime Minister Hassan Ali Khaire spoke Saturday during a meeting with the Somali National Drought Committee.
    The death toll he announced is from the Bay region in the southwest alone.
    Somalia was one of four regions singled out by the U.N. secretary-general last month in a $4.4 billion aid appeal to avert catastrophic hunger and famine, along with northeast Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen.

    All are connected by a thread of violent conflict, the U.N. chief said.
    Thousands have been streaming into Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, in recent days in search of food aid, overwhelming local and international aid agencies.
    Over 7,000 internally displaced people checked into one feeding center recently.
    About 363,000 acutely malnourished children "need urgent treatment and nutrition support, including 71,000 who are severely malnourished," the U.S. Agency for International Development's Famine Early Warning Systems Network has warned.
    Because of a lack of clean water in many areas, there is the additional threat of cholera and other diseases, U.N. experts say.
    Some deaths from cholera already have been reported.
    The government has said the widespread hunger "makes people vulnerable to exploitation, human rights abuses and to criminal and terrorist networks."
    The U.N. humanitarian appeal for 2017 for Somalia is $864 million to provide assistance to 3.9 million people.
    But the U.N. World Food Program recently requested an additional $26 million plan to respond to the drought.

    Zimbabwe – Floods Leave 246 Dead after an absolutely astonishing shift from a drought condition to an excessive saturation mirroring events in California

    In a country where millions have been affected by a crippling drought in the last couple of years brought on by the super El-Niño event, an absolutely astonishing shift has taken place from a drought condition to an excessively wet situation” and there have been heavy (rain) falls that have surpassed all previous years. The situation was exacerbated by Tropical Cyclone Dineo in mid-February.
    The government of Zimbabwe has appealed to international donors to help those affected by floods in the country during the 2016 to 2017 rainy season.
    246 people have died, 128 people injured and approximately 1,985 made homeless by flooding in the country since October 2016.
    The country’s Civil Protection agency reported a few days ago that another 859 people remained displaced after flooding in Tsholotsho District in Matabeleland North, where the Gwayi River and its tributaries burst their banks in the latest deluge.
    Across the country as a whole, the minister, Mr. Kasukuwere said that over 2,500 homes have been damaged since October and some communities are still cut off by the floods. Roads, schools and health facilities have also suffered damage. The districts of Mberebgwa, Insiza and Lupane have suffered major road damage. Full damage assessments are yet to be carried out in some areas that remain inaccessible due to flooding.

    And as is happening this month in California, Mr. Kasukuwere added that “85% of dams in the country are full and spilling, thus even low amounts of rainfall will cause flooding.” Around 70 small and medium sized dams have already been breached.
    Just last November it was reported that Zimbabwe's dam levels had fallen to below 40 percent following the devastating drought that has left millions in need of food aid and local councils rationing water, Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa said on Friday.
    An El Nino weather pattern, which ended in May, triggered drought conditions across the southern African region that hit the staple, maize, and other crops and dented economic growth.
    Mnangagwa said the last time Zimbabwe experienced such a severe drought was in 1992, adding that the biggest dam in the south of the country was only 9 percent full.

    Take that Mr Trump! Nearly 150 million gallons of sewage polluting 20 miles of U.S. coastland was a deliberate act by Mexico according to official's

    A massive sewage spill from Mexico's Tijuana River that polluted miles of coastland and shut down beaches in Southern California is under investigation by federal authorities.
    U.S. officials have said the spill that caused about 143 million gallons of sewage to leak across the border was deliberate, while Mexican authorities believe it was an accident caused by heavy rain.
    The pollution closed beaches and kept surfers and swimmers out of the ocean, drawing outrage from residents of the cross-border region who say they weren't told of the leak until weeks later.
    The tidal wave of raw sewage ran for 18 days and only stopped last week on February 23.
    The public didn't learn about it until the next day.
    The spill is believed to have occurred during repairs to Tijuana's sewage system.
    U.S. officials, including Imperial Beach Mayor Serge Dedina, believe the spill was deliberate to cut corners during repair work on a sewer pipeline in Mexico.
    Despite high tensions between Mexico and the U.S. after Donald Trump promised to build a border wall, authorities do not believe the spill was politically motivated.
    'It was intentional,' Dedina told Reuters.
    'The big picture is we need to work to support Mexico's effort to improve the sewage infrastructure system in Tijuana so this doesn't happen again.'
    At a raucous public hearing on Thursday night in Imperial Beach, angry residents said they were fed up with continued problems with sewage from Mexico that fouls beaches and endangers their health. A spokeswoman at the Tijuana State Public Service Commission said the spill was an accident that resulted from heavy rains collapsing a sewage interceptor in the city.
    They said they notified the International Boundary and Water Commission, which is a joint U.S.-Mexico agency.
    The commission, which is leading the investigation, was notified on February 23 but U.S. officials believe the spill started at least two weeks earlier and dumped roughly 143 million gallons of sewage into the Pacific Ocean.
    Contact with raw sewage can cause serious infections and illnesses such as diarrhea.
    The sewage spill polluted 20 miles of coastland from the areas of Rosarito in Mexico to Coronado in California.

    Large surge in human cases of deadly bird flu in China is causing alarm amongst scientists: A significant increase since October 2016; Flu strain evolving

    • H7N9 bird flu strain has evolved into a more severe form in China with, 460 human infections of which nearly 50% have died.
    • Medical experts have called for a swift investigation into the possibility that a mutation of the H7N9 bird flu virus in China was becoming resistant to a drug commonly used to treat infected people.
    • Almost a hundred dead in China already this year
    • The real game-changer will be when human-to-human A (H7N9) transmissions happen

    A surge in human infections of deadly bird flu in China is prompting increasing concern among health officials around the world. While the human risk of these outbreaks is low at the moment, experts are calling for constant monitoring because of the large increase in cases this season, and because there are worrisome changes in the virus. U.S. officials say of all emerging influenza viruses, this particular virus poses the greatest risk of a pandemic threat if it evolves to spread readily from human to human, according to a report released Friday.
    The report by the World Health Organization (WHO) is as follows…

    During March 2013–February 24, 2017, annual epidemics of avian influenza A(H7N9) in China resulted in 1,258 avian influenza A(H7N9) virus infections in humans being reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) by the National Health and Family Planning Commission of China and other regional sources.
    During the first four epidemics, 88% of patients developed pneumonia, 68% were admitted to an intensive care unit, and 41% died.
    Candidate vaccine viruses (CVVs) were developed, and vaccine was manufactured based on representative viruses detected after the emergence of a (H7N9) virus in humans in 2013.
    During the ongoing fifth epidemic (beginning October 1, 2016), 460 human infections with A(H7N9) virus have been reported, including 453 in mainland China, six associated with travel to mainland China from Hong Kong (four cases), Macao (one) and Taiwan (one), and one in an asymptomatic poultry worker in Macao.
    Although the clinical characteristics and risk factors for human infections do not appear to have changed, the reported human infections during the fifth epidemic represent a significant increase compared with the first four epidemics, which resulted in 135 (first epidemic), 320 (second), 226 (third), and 119 (fourth epidemic) human infections.
    Most human infections continue to result in severe respiratory illness and have been associated with poultry exposure.
    Although some limited human-to-human spread continues to be identified, no sustained human-to-human A (H7N9) transmission has been observed.
