Egypt malaria-free

Egypt has been declared malaria-free by the World Health Organization (WHO), becoming the first country in the Eastern Mediterranean region to achieve this status. The country has not reported any indigenous cases of malaria since 2005, thanks to a successful control program that has included mosquito control, case detection and treatment, and public education.

Tropical storm lashes Cuba

Tropical Storm Eta has lashed Cuba, causing flooding, power outages, and damage to infrastructure. The storm made landfall in the central province of Cienfuegos on Sunday evening, with winds of up to 100 km/h. Eta is expected to continue to move across Cuba and into the Gulf of Mexico, where it could strengthen into a hurricane.

Mozambique killings

At least 10 people have been killed in a series of attacks in Mozambique’s northern province of Cabo Delgado. The attacks, which took place on Saturday and Sunday, were carried out by suspected militants linked to the Islamic State group. The violence has displaced thousands of people and raised concerns about the growing threat of terrorism in the region.

WHO support for South Sudan

The WHO has launched a new initiative to support South Sudan’s health system. The initiative, which will be implemented over the next five years, will focus on strengthening the country’s health infrastructure, training health workers, and improving access to essential medicines. The WHO says that the initiative is essential to improving the health of the people of South Sudan, who have been affected by decades of conflict and poverty.
