Ich stelle da mal'ne steile #These auf und werfe die in den Raum:

Wer sich NICHT für #SaubereLuft in Innenräumen einsetzt, ne, der hat doch sicherlich auch kein Problem mit #Cholera , oder? #JustSaying
#Cholera

"Die Krankheit ist hoch ansteckend, kann sich daher schnell ausbreiten und zu einer #Epidemie entwickeln. Verunreinigtes #Trinkwasser und #Nahrungsmittel sowie mangelnde Hygiene, etwa in Folge von Überschwemmungen, sind Nährböden für Cholera-Bakterien.
Die Behandlung ist im Prinzip unkompliziert: Die Erkrankten erhalten eine sogenannte Rehydrierungslösung, die Traubenzucker, Kochsalz und weitere wichtige Elektrolyte enthält. Ziel ist es, den Flüssigkeits- und Elektrolytverlust der Betroffenen wieder auszugleichen.

Bin dann also mal kurz weg: On my way nach #Nampula #Mosambik, um die Gesundheitsfolgen der #Klimakrise, die unser Team dort besonders beobachtet, zu dokumentieren. Wir @MSF_austria sind daher in der Provinz #Nampula im Norden des Landes im Einsatz. 1/7
#Mosambik ist unter den 10 Ländern, die weltweit am stärksten von den Auswirkungen der #Klimakrise betroffen sind. Aufgrund der geografischen Lage und der langen Küstenlinie ist es anfällig für extreme Wetterereignisse. 2/7
In den letzten Jahren war das Land mit klimabedingten Gefahren wie #Dürren, #Überschwemmungen und #Wirbelstürmen konfrontiert, wobei letztere an Intensität und Häufigkeit zunahmen. 3/7

Warum es wichtig ist, sich ganz konkret mit den Gesundheitsfolgen der #Klimakrise zu beschäftigen?
Laut @WHO ist die Klimakrise die größte Gesundheitsbedrohung für die Menschheit.

Es ist also zu erwarten, dass künftig zunehmend mehr Menschen an den Folgen der #Klimakrise sterben werden - allein aufgrund steigender Zahlen von #Malaria, #Mangelernährung, Durchfallerkrankungen wie #Cholera oder Hitzeschlägen, die mit der Klimakrise verbunden sind... 2/6

In ein paar Jahren werden die Menschen zurückblicken auf 2023 und die #Fortschrittsverweigerer, die die Bevölkerung dauerhaft zum Einatmen kontaminierter, krank machender Luft verdammen wollen, statt aus #Pandemie, Infektionsschäden, #LongCovid-Katastrophe zu *lernen* und alle...

[Thread] Vous êtes désormais 50000 à vous informer sur mon compte : MERCI !
Je ne vous parle pas souvent de moi. Pourtant, j'ai fait un long chemin avant d'arriver en France. En 1990, j'ai fui la guerre du Liban.
32ans après, j'y suis retourné. Une vraie leçon de vie à partager👇 Image
[Electricité] Dès mon arrivée, je n'avais ni l'électricité, ni internet. Sobriété garantie !
Avec 6 heures d'électricité par jour, les libanais les plus aisés se sont munis de générateurs électriques et de panneaux solaires (à leur frais).
On est loin du confort français ! ImageImageImageImage
[Eau] Il n'y a plus l'eau courante, sécheresse ou pas (oui, vous avez bien lu). Au village, un camion citerne remplit notre cuve. Ici, on sait à quel point l'eau est précieuse et on ne s'en plein pas.
Je me lavais dans 30 litres d'eau, chaude ou pas.
Le #cholera est de retour. ImageImageImage

1. Short thread from @WHO's weekly press conference. Covid-19 remains a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC), the @WHO emergency committee decided at a meeting last week. Today @drtedros said he agrees.
2. The EC chair, Didier Houssin, said for the first time at this meeting, the committee talked about the possibility of terminating the PHEIC. But the committee concluded it was too early to do so. Among other things, they want to see how this winter goes in the NHemisphere.
3. @DrTedros revealed that @WHO and partners have decided to effectively ration #Cholera vaccines, because of a global shortage. Normally cholera vax is given in 2 doses but will be used as a 1 dose vaccine. This strategy has been shown to be effective before.

📍CHOLERA EMERGENCY—More than 60 people have died in the last 5 days (17 died just yesterday) of #cholera in a major overcrowded Haiti prison. People are reportedly “dropping like flies” while sharing just buckets for toilets. What a humanitarian disaster.

2) “Without immediate evacuation and medical attention, more than three thousand people face near certain illness and may die.”
3) The cholera outbreak that began on Sunday, October 2, has now reached one of the world’s most notoriously overcrowded prisons, creating a lethal engine for the resurgence of cholera that had been thought vanquished from the country.

WHO presser starts with @drtedros giving an update on Ebola outbreak in Uganda:
"So far 63 confirmed and probably cases have been reported including 29 deaths.
10 health workers have been infected and four have died", he says.
@DrTedros "When there is a delay in detecting an Ebola outbreak, it's normal for cases to increase steadily at the beginning and then decrease as life saving interventions and outbreak control measures are implemented", says @DrTedros.
@DrTedros "Several vaccines are in various stages of development against this virus, two of which could begin clinical trials in Uganda in the coming weeks pending regulatory and ethics approvals from the Ugandan Government" says @drtedros.
