GENEVA puma basket heart patent blancas , Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Thanks to unparalleled efforts of local health workers, the spread of diarrhea and cholera in war-torn Yemen has been effectively curbed, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) declared on Monday, but also warned as long as the fighting rages on, more deaths from infections are expected.
 
 
UNICEF accredited the slowdown to the "heroic daily fight" of local workers, with international support, against acute watery diarrhea and cholera, especially when the local health, water and sanitation personnel had not received salaries in over ten months.
 
 
The epidemic of diarrhea and cholera in Yemen, a country mired in years of dragging conflicts, still remains the worst in the world, with over 550,000 suspected cases and more than 2,000 associated deaths recorded since April, and more than half of the suspected cases being children, according to UNICEF.
 
 
A nationwide cholera awareness campaign is currently underway, mobilizing over 40,000 volunteers going house-to-house and reaching over 2.7 million families so far, or nearly 80 percent of households in Yemen.
 
 
The efforts are paying off. Nearly 12.5 million people across the country have received information on water disinfection, handwashing, sanitation and food safety, and 250,000 children and adults suffering from diarrhea have been provided with oral rehydration salts and referred for treatment, according to UNICEF.
 
 
Despite these recent gains, the fight against cholera is far from over.
 
 
Continued violence has destroyed the bulk of the country's water and sanitation systems and more than half of Yemen's health facilities are out of service. About 15 million people are cut from safe water and access to basic healthcare.
 
 
Meanwhile, the country remains on the brink of famine, with an estimated 385,000 children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, putting them at heightened risk of acute watery diarrhea and cholera, said the UN agency.
 
 
Without an end to the fighting, more children will die, the UNICEF warned, calling on all parties in the conflict to find a peaceful political solution to the violence in Yemen.

NAIROBI, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Kenya has launched a national forest and landscape restoration program aimed at restoring the degraded forests and landscapes, a senior government official has said.
 
 
Cabinet Secretary for Environment and Natural Resources Professor Judi Wakhungu said on Thursday that the program is also aimed at addressing climate change, conservation of biodiversity and improving food security.
 
 
"We are driven by the urgent necessity to restore ecological integrity and functions of degraded forests and landscapes which has significantly lost their capacity to support livelihoods, environmental conservation and economic development," Wakhungu said.
 
 
The launch makes Kenya the first African country to have comprehensive national restoration opportunity assessment.
 
 
It is expected that the move will inform commitments to the Bonn Challenge that is aimed at restoring 150 million hectares of land around the world by 2020.
 
 
Kenya's move is widely seen by experts as an opportunity towards meeting the African Resilient Landscapes Initiative, an initiative that targets to promote integrated landscape management by adapting to and mitigating climate change.
 
 
According to Wakhungu, Kenya has already committed 5.1 million hectares of deforested and degraded forests and other landscape restorations by the year 2030.
 
 
This target is expected to increase Kenya's total tree cover by nine percent, bringing the total tree cover of the country over the constitutional mandate.
 
 
There are also plans for afforestration, rehabilitation of natural forests buffer zones along water bodies and wetlands and planting of commercial trees and bamboo plantations in unstocked forests that will be done on 7.6 million hectares of land.
 
 
Under this scenario, carbon sequestration potential is expected to increase by more than 260 Mt CO2 by 2063.
 
 
According to Dr. Kitty Van Der Heidjen, Africa Director of World Resources Institute, an independent think tank on environment, land degradation is hindering Africa's sustainable economic development and its resilience to climate change.
 
 
He however said that the trend can be reversed since the continent has 700 million hectares of degraded land that is the largest restoration opportunity of any continent in the world.
 
 
"We have to make decisions based on scientific evidence to help reverse and restore landscapes," she noted.
 
 
Mohamed Sessay, senior programs officer at the United Nations Environment Programme disclosed that the Global Environmental Facility has earmarked 53 million U.S. dollars to support Africa's Sustainable Development Goals and environmental conservation efforts.
 
 
He called on countries to honor their international environmental commitments to be able to attract additional funding.
 
 
 
 
ARUSHA, Tanzania, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese Embassy in Tanzania on Thursday handed over assorted food items, medicines and tents to Kagera earthquake victims.
 
 
"The donation came from various Chinese companies, the embassy and Chinese community," said Zhang Biao, political counselor from the Chinese Embassy in Dar es Salaam while handing over the donation.
