Country: Gambia Source: International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies Please refer to the attached file. RISK ANALYSIS AND EARLY ACTION SELECTION Prioritized hazard and its historical impact. The Gambia, like many other Africa countries, is susceptible to and unable to cope with the adverse effects of climate change, including extreme weather events, rising temperatures, sea-level rise, and other environmental shifts. The terrain is predominantly flat, with a narrow coastal plain and a gently wave-like in the interior The climate of The Gambia is a tropical type with two seasons: 1. a short rainy season from June to October, and 2. a long dry season from November to May. Average annual rainfall varies between 700mm and 1,000 mm according to the Department of Water Resources (DWR). More than 80% of the annual rainfall is recorded between July and September. August is the wettest month with the number of rainy days estimated to be around 19 days. Average temperatures in The Gambia range from 18°C to 30°C during the dry season and 23°C to 33°C during the wet season. According to the National Hazard Profile of The Gambia, flash flooding is one of the highest priority natural hazards in The Gambia. In the Gambia Pluvial Floods (Surface water floods happen because of heavy and prolonged downpour occurs thus saturating and overwhelming lower grounds and drainage systems. The accumulation of rainwater in compounds, houses, streets, farmlands and low-lying areas with inappropriate waterways (blocked or encroached natural and artificial waterways) usually results in harsh devastation and destruction. These factors are aggravated by the rapid urbanization & the rapid growth of unregulated expansion of settlement patterns and systems in the country. These Pluvial floods ( surface water) are amplified by several factors, including: • Lack of drainage and waste management: Inadequate drainage systems and poor waste management exacerbate flash flooding problem by causing blockages of canals, culverts and other water ways and reducing the capacity of drainage infrastructurehttps://gambia.un.org/sites/default/files/2023-01/UNDAC-Gambia_Floods-RNAR-ENG-Web.pdf causing widespread contamination of water bodies, submerge homes, roads, and farmland. Pluvial floods (surface water) has had a major impact in The Gambia over the past years, affecting the country’s social, economic and environmental aspects: • Disruption of daily life: Every year, Pluvial floods (flash floods and surface water) affect thousands of people living in both urban and local communities, forcing them to flee their homes, lose property and find themselves in precarious living conditions. populations at risk, including those living in informal urban areas or near rivers, are particularly affected. • Public health: Stagnant water creates an environment conducive to the proliferation of water-related diseases such as cholera, malaria and diarrhea. Contamination of drinking water by wastewater and the accumulation of waste aggravate the health risks for the population. Economic losses: In general, flash flood impacts include, destruction of houses and infrastructures Roads, schools. Telecommunications, electricity supply, transportation infrastructure, markets, businesses pollution and displacement among others which negatively impact local economies. Agriculture, a key sector for The Gambia, is also heavily affected, as farmland are submerged, leading to crop loss and reduced food production. • Displacement of Families: Due to the scale of the floods, many people are forced to leave their homes and migrate to other areas, increasing the pressure on local resources and contributing to the rapid urbanization of some cities, further worsening living conditions and sanitation problems. • Environmental destruction: Flash Flooding washes away agricultural soil, destabilizing ecosystems, and contributing to biodiversity loss. Increased wastewater and the destruction of natural habitats are affecting animal and plant species. • Loss of lives and injuries During the past 2 rainy seasons Flash Flood has caused more than 10 deaths and has caused dozens injured. Most of these deaths and injuries were caused by collapsed buildings.
China has unveiled an artificial intelligence platform for drug discovery that can screen a vast library of chemical compounds, cutting the initial drug screening phase from months or years down to tens of seconds. Developers said they expected the system to provide a novel method for identifying lead molecules to treat tumours, neurodegenerative conditions, rare diseases and emerging infectious diseases, as well as possibly speeding up drug research during public health crises. Called GalaxyVS,...

The Trump administration is moving to roll back limits on some PFAS, the toxic "forever chemicals" found in the drinking water of millions of Americans. The Biden-era rule set the first national drinking-water limits for several PFAS compounds. But industry groups argued the standards were legally flawed and too costly to meet. William Brangham reports.

The recent news that Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s death was caused by epibatidine — a South American frog toxin — has reignited interest in state use of poisons and toxins in assassinations. Although state use of such compounds has a long history, the erosion of the norms prohibiting assassinations and chemical and biological weapons increases the likelihood of future assassinations using poisons and toxins. As demonstrated in the recent targeting of the Iranian leadership in Operation Eric Fury and in the assassinations of prominent Iranian nuclear scientists, including Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the assassination norm has collapsed.
