the matching decent noise, w h o regional director for africa, has been at the forefront of response efforts. today she discusses the challenges of playful health governance vaccine in equity and the need for new public health in africa. dr. massachuset, morrissey, world health organization, regional director for africa, talks throughout the visa m o n w h o director for africa. thank you for talking to al jazeera. let's lay out where we're at. first of all, what's your understanding of the current status of the inputs virus in africa as we speak? yes, so 1st, thanks very much for the, for the invitation. i think we can summarize like that uh, several outbreaks going on. added to a endemic impulse in some countries, particularly in some child and some west african countries. overall, since the beginning of this year, there's been just over 15000 cases, suspect of cases reported almost 4000 confirmed number 2 confirmed again underline the the challenges with level 2 supplies. but i would say that the outbreak that is of most concern, that has triggered the decisions to declare a publi

the w. h. o released the statement by marcus. today, the emergency committee met and advised me that its view, the situation goodness that you, it's a public code emergency of international consent. the w. h o says that congo now has over 18 styles in cases and over 600 have died as a result of impulse this year. at least 12 countries across africa have registered a spike in cases of the virus to sweden was the 1st country outside of africa to record a case of the played one b variant or the other 2 from a person who had traveled to, to and effected area of africa, children have been disproportionately affected by this site break, accounting for approximately 70 percent of cases in congo. for you said children in the i did because they are always playing together. so did tend to did i did look at instead of both of these tasks associated these thought to be look at about that . so they play to get the order with the list together. and you can also see like unit in the house voice the event plu

she told us how they slowed by the w h. o could help contain the outbreak. this is actually a very important moment and really demonstrates that we've learned a lot from previous outbreaks or previous uh, situations. you know, in the past maybe reacting a little more slowly when we see something happening in remote rural areas in africa. but i think what we've learned here is that an infection anywhere is potentially an infection everywhere. and what's happening in rural areas of africa can very easily come to our doorsteps, anywhere in the world. and so being able to stop this at its source as soon as possible is critically important. and this public health emergency will do many things. it will unlock funding that is not has not been available to really support surveillance, a better testing opportunities more more efforts towards public health. but it's also going to help coordinate getting vaccines and barracuda, to these areas that have not had these tools to be able to combat and fox the previously. and just briefly you mentioned, this is an important

busy uh, as head of africa, w h i and the next. yeah. what's the most challenging aspect in your time? and it's been a very interesting experience. i was elected and started doing the west africa a ball on outbreak. and we of cause what very hard following that lending the lessons investing in systems. so i would say that the biggest challenges that, that so our continental hobbies and faces is of course the advocacy of investment in health. we really do need more investment by the member states and we appreciate the entire last lot investment that has been being made in africa. we just starting to see leveling off. and what we'd like to see as well is more the integrated ways of using the funds that are available more efficiently in i don't know totally to deal with disease outputs, but to have health systems that reach the most powerful level. you mentioned people that are living far away from capital city so that we have primary health care systems. we've even if them that the clinics are mainly manned by nurses, progressively being i

they don't do much of disability, w h, a director for africa. thank you for talking to wells is here. thank you for having by the, the 10s of thousands of children were born into we'll live down to the ice old regime in iraq and syria. now many are in kemp. i the role funds are with the, with the mothers rejected by their own communities checking the last few things that people are going to welcome them after that. of course, not an emmy award winning documentary. here's that shooting and traumatic story. the children throw stones at me erects last generation on outages in the . ringback the safe them even come in as an international inside corruption excellence award, nominates your hero. now the . ready the heather, i'm or kyle, this is the news our live from doha. coming up in the next 60 minutes is ready for says continue to pound goes like killing 5900 civilians on the size of a pulled and a 100000 people are forced to evacuate from daryl by law more protests and as well as demanding benjamin netanyahu. except the seas 5 deal is tool shed t

al license, it's great that the units have from the w. h. o and others are getting together to, to try and help the children of gaza, particularly as you know we've, we've seen this on a patient issues as well with, with the sewage water as well also to bacteria issues that, you know, you talked about the polio virus spreading as well and of course israel's agreeing to these so called limited to monetary and pauses. um, we have seen in the past few minutes here and well cuz uh coming on to fire and gas, a g, g. think as a risk, the humanitarian mission could be disrupted by the idea of operations across the enclaves a little that's, that's exactly what, what this thought as a means as not to put the alteration or the workers in any danger and not to put children and families are trying to commit to the fact seems under any danger, and that's like what you're looking at now as a 6 am till 22 or 3 pm every day for 3 days, each region and the 3 different age of center, south end and north, where a thirty's would be stopped and where if i to asi

so chris, and this is something for the w h o has been calling for. it's been saying that humanitarian pauses are vital for the poll. your vaccination campaign in the gaza strip. tell us how this came about now or well, it came about after intense pressure from you why the fishes and the united states was secretary of state anthony blinking. also reportedly appealing to israel to allow this campaign to happen. also, warnings that the vaccine could spread to israel, as well as the expectation that it will spread rapidly through god's given the lack of sanitation and disruptions and medical care and vaccinations that have happened there in the presence of polio. now that was spotted in a young boy in the last week who is now paralyzed as result. so what is happening is that the vaccines will be ruled out as you just heard, starting on september 1st over a 3 day period. uh they'll start in central gaza and then they're going to move to northern, got to a southern, gaza for 3 days and then to northern guys up for 3 days. and they say that they've been giv

now the, the w. h. o says israel has agreed to limited pauses in financing and certain positive garza to allow a polio vaccination campaign. the silver albany watching. notice they were like, well, headquarters here in the hall also coming up as well. pushes on with as offensive in the west side despite widespread global condemnation. a push to stabilize relations. the us national security adviser means present changing things as he runs stuff his visit to china. also trying to stop the flow of illegal migrants from fence cricket, spain's prime minister is in san diego. the welcome to the fact of the world health organization says israel has agreed to limited pauses and fighting in gaza to allow a polio vaccination campaign to begin the wood agencies as the polls. this will take place during 9 am a windows over 3 days in different areas of the strip causes helpful if i were to say they've recorded the 1st case of the debilitating disease industry for 25 years . now, 8 groups of blame, the re emergence o

rick per corners, the w. h o is representative, and the occupied west bank and gaza. he says more than a 1000000 vaccine doses are ready in the strip. the $82.00 wrong polio vaccinations to bang this will actually start in the 1st of september in a gas with your drones to convey the pa, steven ministry of health and calibration of its virtual units. and why, and far from this bill provides uh bill will provide 2 drops to no whole world polio vaccine tried to focus on tv to, to more than 614000 children. on the 10 years of age, chris is salumi is joining us now from the united nation. so chris and talk us through this announcements because the w h o has been staying for awhile now, but humanitarian pauses are vital for that campaign to begin. so how did this come about or yeah, and there is a lot of international concern and a warning that the virus could spread to israel if it's not rained in very soon. and we know that not only have un officials and humanitarians been calling for these humanitarian pauses, but also the european union put out a statement calling on is

so far this year bought the w h o is recommending that countries do not close the board. its united nations has released funding to tackle the spread w that you always warning also about the potential of this impacts virus to spread further across countries in africa. and possibly outside the continent to allow for an immediate scale up w h o is released $1450000.00 from the w h o contingency fund for emergencies. it may need to release more in the coming days. the health agency, however, anticipates an immediate funding requirement of an initial, an, of an initial $15000000.00. just for surveillance, preparedness and response activities as working with countries and vaccine manufacturers on potential vaccine donations. that spring poll honda is a professor in medicine and an expert in infectious diseases from the university of east andrea in the u. k. professor honda, how quickly took this virus spread further around the world to well, i think the 1st thing is this is a virus is predominantly being spreading through sexual transmission rates. and we know that the infectio

can the w h i with this part is globally help central africa in this particular instance? absolutely, and that's probably the main reason for calling the public health and much to the international could said when you have an outbreak left, this, the world needs to come together, bring the resources, be the human financial, scientific, technical like vaccines, bring it to where the problem is, don't be worried about it coming, stop it, where it is and, and just as a matter of the whole community. we've mentioned the pandemic, tracy, this is what it's about. we can stop these problems if we work together, even when we have conflict and we all of us, all of us here, well, all the health workers will never stop trying to help. well, it's great to have and it's good to have all of you here on inside still we talked to margaret harris, david monthly, and dr. book ash capella. thank you for joining us back from geneva and from game and thank you to for watching this edition of inside story you can watch at any time by visiting a website that i'll just share a dot com for further

the w h o says in some center for a more direct risk stuff. i guess most us one is 75 percent of cases are in children onto attendance on the 25 percent or an adults between $15.50 is only going to it should also be noted is that around 70 percent of these cases that come here with the cases from compass for internally displaced people. so there was a hive under ability within the company in the country, the plastic, the applicant centers for disease and control and prevention says, and fox has been detected in sodium countries, the seal with more than 500. that's all the countries and they'll seen cases of including sweden, reporting its 1st case to speak to the health authorities and focused on have also detected one case and a passenger for turning from the u. e. in 2022. the impulse outbreak was reported in more than 70 countries, but it's fed was slowed within months with vaccination programs and drugs in which countries exp, but say there's an urgent need for vaccine supplies in african nations to stop the spread of the wireless. i would

however, the w h show has requested a ceasefire on humanitarian grounds. in order to roll out this campaign. israel has rejected these requests in the past on july 21st as well as military announced that it would start vaccinating its soldiers in gaza against the threat of polio. the w h o says guys that had a 99 percent vaccination rate before the war and that has now dropped to 86 percent leaving pockets of children at risk. earlier we spoke to how many jaffar, who is the director of polio eradication for the eastern mediterranean region at the w h o. p was that there's a real risk of the virus spreading beyond god. it is, we do not have a ceasefire. and if the, if sufficient freedom of movement of heads, workers to be able to plan the logistics and operations an activity, find all the children and then bashing exams that are not allowed. the list of this outbreaks reading not only within guys ever outside of guys. uh uh, 2 other 5, so uh for occupied by the stadium tentatively, is reyes and surrounding countries of this new jo assistance that this can b

how much of a difference do you think it'll make that the w h o is now declared the unbox outbreak to be a global public health emergency? oh, shouldn't make a great difference normally be stakes as we call them. p h e. i sees that tends to be announced when you want to release more funding, more resources to those those particular epidemics or panoramic situations. and this should hopefully allow this release of funding and resources can this from countries of course they are already quite stream as resource limited in many other ways. should people outside of the effective regions be worried about their own health? could this virus end up spreading much further and if so, what precautions should people be taking a yes, of course, as we saw it 2 years ago, they tried to straighten spread globally along the so called amazon network. they, the menu us exit men, sexual network, that is much more indiscriminate. it seems to be spreading across the heterosexual population and other general populations. it may be less transmissible. i'm excited to be strained, turned out to be again, we ne

so far this year, about the w h o n, the international federation of the red cross recommending that countries do not close the borders. and from the side, we do stand with what is recommended under international health regulations, which is that there's no need to close borders when we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognize borders. people will continue to cross the border, whether it is a legal crossing or a not an illegal crossing. it doesn't stop a disease from spreading topic. yes of age speaks for the health organization who joins as a from geneva to we had the closing board as does apparently not stop a disease from spreading. but can you explain why it wouldn't limit the rate of infection, especially if papa check stub being paid as well. uh, as we have heard from the quoted from uh, i have far see uh uh, and we know from different experience and we have a serious, i'm calling 19 going through the closing the borders is not going to stop the stop the virus. and this is a different virus from, let's say, code 19, because this virus is being transmitted through very

the w h o has declared a global health emergency. well, for more on this we can now talk to julian tang, he's a river ologist at the leicester royal infirmary in the u. k. and teachers of university there. thanks for being with us. tell us more about this latest surgeon and pox cases. how is this outbreak different from the 12 years ago? a hi. so thanks the have me on the, the difference is really due to the different plates. oh, strains. if you like, of this impulse virus. the strain from 2 years ago it was a global strain and the tide to which is the circle west of the constrain. and i pretty much milder and more limited in terms of clinical severity than the original kite one virus. the one is now a spitting plus, asked me to is a branch of the code one virus now to take from b. and this part, the originals frank strains, and that the aussie democratic, the condo, this has a higher mortality is most of the same in clay, and made increasing trans disability compared to the original endemic played one a strain from the r c. talk to

the w h o plans to administer the vaccine to more than 600000 children under the age of 10. we have right now and the center point stay storage. but if you have received more than $1200000.00 is off and nobody would go back seen approximately $400000.00 on en route to un agencies working with partners to distribute and administer them all while keeping the vials in the appropriate temperature range. israel has agreed to limited pauses in fighting. so health care workers can access the territory each phase lasting several hours. but dr. abbott, who works for gauze, is her most run. health ministry says it's not enough time didn't sufficient. they only give us time from 6 am to 2 pm, which is not enough. we need to continue working beyond these unawares. since there is no cure for polio, the key as prevention, the w h o says the vaccine drive has to succeed to prevent a catastrophic outbreak as well. sam row who's using gaza with the agency for palestinian refugees known as on raw. he's got more now and the hurdles don't lie ahead. i certainly going to be extremely challenging

yeah, but the w h o n, the international federation of the red cross recommending the countries do not close the borders. and from the i a 1st the side we do stand with what is recommended under international health regulations, which is that there's no need to close borders when we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognize borders. people will continue to cross the border, whether it is legal crossing or not, and then legal crossing. it doesn't stop a disease from spreading. correspond to jack park jones stuff from brussel stuck at . what do we know so far about these virus? a well, we know that and it is the new i break is spreading rapidly is mainly focused in africa, specifically around the democratic republic of congo. there's $96.00 of the current cases of that, but also across 12 of the african countries. i'm polls is it's been around for a while. we've known about it for the best part of half a century. but specifically, there's been a recent i break back in 2022 that was focused in western europe also in america, 70 countries around the world have it then. um, but it

it's the highest alert level, the w h l can designate the virus is spread from democratic republic of congo to neighboring kenya. but on the uganda under one to michael awful reports for the 2nd time in as many years the world health organization has declared impacts as a public health emergency impacts spreads through close contact and has flu like symptoms accompanied by lesions on the body. earlier this week, africa's top public health party declared the viral infection and emergency all states rapid spreads and more than a dozen countries on the continent. the w i chose announcement followed swift. it's clear that the coordinated international response is essential to stop this outbreaks and save lives. the center of the outbreak is the democratic republic of congo with 96 percent of cases have been recorded. 60 percent of those are people under the age of 18, but a new strain has also sprayed to full neighboring countries. compared to last year, infections have risen a 160 percent and debt, so up nearly 20 percent. so far they've been more than 14000 cases, killing 524 people. we

the w h host has guys a had a 99 percent vaccination rate before the war. i'm not snow dropped to 86 percent leaving pockets of children at risk. coming to 40 is director of polio evaluation for eastern mediterranean region at the w. h. o is joining us live from london. thank you very much indeed for being with us in the event that israel doesn't allow for a pause in the fighting to a low. this will allow it to go ahead, which is on a huge scale. what are you going to do? so this is going to be a very uh, if we do not have a ceasefire. and if the, if sufficient freedom of movement has what it says to be able to blend the logistics and operations and activities, find all the children and then bashing exams that is not allowed. the list of this outbreaks reading not going to be within guys ever outside of guys. uh uh, 2 other boxes of, of occupied by the stadium tentatively is raised and founding countries of this new jo assess of that list to be very high and low low cases. of identity, what do you have been detected so far? that just means continues in thes

but both the w h o and the international federation of the red cross are recommending that countries do not close their borders. and from the i 1st decided we do stand with what is recommended under international health regulations, which is that there's no need to close borders when we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognize borders. people will continue to cross the border whether it is legal, crossing or not, and legal crossing. it doesn't stop a disease from spreading from war on this. i'd like to bring in doctor william shatner, professor of medicine in the division of infectious diseases at vanderbilt university . welcome, it's nice to see you. to start off for those watching from home. how worried should people be about this outbreak? or i think at the moment there's no need to worry. this is something we in public health and infectious diseases, are keeping a careful eye on. we're trying to help the people in the democratic republic of congo do with this by getting them some vaccine, providing them resources so they can track these infections more carefully. i thin

the w h o says any detection of polio is a public health image and see that could spread well beyond causes boat. mike level, which is 0. the antonia protestors have fought with police in the capital during demonstrations calling on president william bhutto to resign. the police fire tear gas and arrested several demonstrators. all 3 protests have continued in spite of multiple concessions made by router over the past months, and purchasers are also demanding justice for more than 60 people killed during the violence police crack down. malcolm lab reports from nairobi to demonstrate, says, i've been trying, i was to have a couple of questions about the place. so one, any to take place to the processes. i agree, following earlier in the day, present really in research swearing in a new cabinet, which doesn't include pointing several of the ministers in the cabinet that he just weeks ago on the demonstration. not mean, you know, i'm the president russo isn't interested in any news on the new on this malcom web. right. let's take a closer look now. well, what's caused these protests and

but both the w h o and the red cross are recommending that countries do not close their borders. and from the i a for our society, we do stand with what is recommended under international health regulations, which is that there's no need to close borders when we are in disease outbreaks, diseases don't recognize borders. people will continue to cross the border, whether it is legal, crossing or a not an illegal crossing. it doesn't stop a disease from spreading. or corresponding jack parent has the view from brussels with a more on the spread of this virus as well. it appears to be going much fast. and that's why so many international organizations are raising concerns and looking into exactly what should be done in this instance is obviously shifted. now with most of the cases of this new played one strain being reported in africa, dominant me in the democratic republic of congo. when 96 percent of cases have been registered, now it's different to when the impulse of virus had had an i break across 70 countries around the world. it was made me thought to be spread through sexual

what is the w h o is pledged nearly $1500000.00 from its contingency fund for emergencies. but the search is on for an estimated $15000000.00 needed to their own channel coordinated regional response. mike level of desert told us to try and 16 months some conflicts ensued under underway in geneva, but by the one the site is present. delegation from the power military rapids support forces has arrived for representative from the sudanese army while they haven't turned up. yeah. especially in boy temper yellow. it says the army has a responsibility to join the torque seas cool them face sides respect international law and to bring the conflict to an end table. morgan is more now from call to to the us special envoy. he said that he is still hoping that the city needs army will send a delegation, but in a statement yesterday, the head of the army general had been put that behind said that they will be ne flyers hawks. unless certain conditions, our method he specifically referred to, they did the agreement that was signed between the army and the parent minutes through rapid s
