I-Ebola: I-arhente yezempilo ye-UN ijikela kumaqela ezonyango aphesheya

Umbutho weZizwe eziManyeneyo wezeMpilo weHlabathi (i-WHO) ubhengeze namhlanje ukuba uza kuhlangana namaqela ezonyango angaphandle kwamazwe achatshazelwe yi-Ebola kwiveki ezayo eGeneva ukubona ukuba banokunceda njani kwizigaba zokugqibela zomlo wokuzisa inani lamatyala phantsi. unothi.

Kwangaxeshanye, uHelen Clark onguMlawuli weNkqubo yoPhuhliso yeZizwe Ezimanyeneyo (UNDP) wafika eMonrovia, eLiberia, njengenxalenye yotyelelo lwakhe eNtshona Afrika enikela ingqalelo ekuchacheni i-Ebola, esithi: “I-Ebola inzima kakhulu ukoyisa, kodwa iyabethwa eLiberia.”

Kwangoko, u-Miss Clark udibene neqela lamaqela asekuhlaleni e-Conakry, eGuinea, apho wagxininisa ukubaluleka okubalulekileyo koluntu ekuyekiseni uqhambuko. Umsebenzi wakhe uya kuqukunjelwa ngotyelelo eSierra Leone ekuqaleni kweveki ezayo.

I-UNDP isebenzisana nabasemagunyeni kazwelonke kunye namaqabane asekuhlaleni, ommandla kunye namazwe ngamazwe, kuquka iBhanki yoPhuhliso lwe-Afrika, i-European Union kunye neBhanki yehlabathi, kuVavanyo lokuBuyisa i-Ebola, kunye nokuxhasa izicwangciso zelizwe, njengenxalenye yesigunyaziso sayo sokukhokela. inkqubo ye-UN kwiinzame zokubuyisela ezinxulumene ne-Ebola.

I-World Food Programme (WFP), okwangoku, igxininise isidingo sokuxhasa uluntu xa sele i-Ebola ikhululekile. I-WFP ibonelela olu luntu ngoncedo lweenyanga ezintathu lokutya ukuze luqale ngokutsha ubomi babo, kwaye ikwaxhasa iimarike noqoqosho lwasekhaya ngokuthenga iimveliso zalapha ekhaya.

I-WFP yenze ubambiswano olutsha kunye ne-WHO ukuxhasa abasebenzi bezempilo ekufikeleleni kumatyala angama-zero ngokubonelela ngenkxaso yokusebenza kwiindawo ezingama-63 zokucupha, ezinye zinzulu ehlathini.

E-Geneva, uGqr Ian Norton, okhokela iqela lezonyango le-WHO eNtshona Afrika ejongene ne-Ebola, uxelele iintatheli ukuba ngexesha lentlanganiso yezobugcisa ukusuka kwi-17 ukuya kwi-19 kaFebruwari, ukhetho luya kuxoxwa malunga nendlela amaqela ezonyango angaphandle angazibandakanya ngayo nezinye iintsika ze-Ebola- impendulo, kubandakanywa ukucupha kunye nokuhlanganisa uluntu.

"Amaqela amaninzi ayekulungele ukuhlala iinyanga ezininzi ukuze aphinde asebenze ngokukhuselekileyo iinkonzo zezempilo zamazwe amathathu achaphazelekayo," ngokutsho kukaGqr Norton. "Icandelo elithile lentlanganiso liya kujonga ukhuseleko oluphuculweyo kunye nokuphuculwa kokhathalelo lwezigulane."

Uchaze amaqela ezonyango angaphandle njengababoneleli bezonyango - oogqirha kunye nabongikazi - abavela ngaphandle kwamazwe abo bevela kwilizwe elinengxakeko yezempilo.

Ngoku bekukho amaqela ezonyango angama-58 asebenza kumaziko onyango lwe-Ebola angama-66 kwiindawo ezosulelekileyo eNtshona Afrika. Babonelelwe yimibutho engama-40 eyahlukeneyo ejongene nempendulo ye-Ebola, ngokutsho kwe-WHO.

UDkt. Norton uthe amaqela ezonyango angaphandle abe yinxalenye "yenqanaba lokulwa nomlilo lokuphendula" xa ukungabikho kwamandla ekliniki kuthintela yonke impendulo.

Uqaphele ukuba ngoku kugxilwe kwinqanaba lezempilo loluntu, ngenjongo yokwehlisa inani lamatyala liye kutsho ku-zero.

Izibalo zamva nje ze-WHO zibonisa ukuba phantse abantu abangama-23,000 baye bachaphazeleka yi-Ebola ngokufa kwabantu abangaphezu kwe-9,200.

I-WHO ikwanike ingxelo yokuba ngaphandle kokuphuculwa kokufunyanwa nokulawulwa kwamatyala, izenzo zokungcwaba, kunye nothethathethwano noluntu, ukuhla kwezehlo kumile.

Kwezinye iindaba i-UN Population Fund (UNFPA) yathi ngaphezu kwe-56 yezigidi zeedola zifuneka ngokukhawuleza ukubonelela ngeenkonzo ezibalulekileyo zokuzala, umama kunye nosana olusanda kuzalwa eGuinea, eLiberia naseSierra Leone.

Le mali, ngokutsho kwe-arhente, iya kuhlanganisa iinyanga ezintandathu zokuqala ze-UNFPA ekhokelwa yi-Mano River Midwifery initiative - inzame entsha yokuphendula i-Ebola eya kwandisa inani labasebenzi bezempilo ukuqinisekisa ukuba abafazi kunye namantombazana aneminyaka yobudala bahlala besempilweni kwaye ikhuselekile nangona kukho ingxaki. Iimali ziya kuphinda zihlawule iindleko zoqhagamshelwano-zokukhangela bonke abafowunelwa abanokubakho kwiimeko ze-Ebola kunye nokunceda ukukhusela izifo.

"Impendulo yethu ingxamisekile njengoko kufuneka sisindise ubomi kwaye siyeke ukusasazeka kwe-Ebola ngoku," watsho uMlawuli oyiNtloko we-UNFPA, uDkt Babatunde Osotimehin kwi-press release. “Kufuneka siqinise iinkqubo zempilo kwaye sakhe ukomelela kwikamva. Ngokwandisa indawo yokubelekisa, siza kwandisa inani labasebenzi bezempilo kwaye siqinisekise unikezelo olukhuselekileyo koomama neentsana ezisanda kuzalwa.”
