Rift Valley Fever threatens Mauritania

2010-12-21

Mauritania has asked the World Health Organization (WHO) for help in tackling the deadly Rift Valley Fever outbreak in several northern villages, the Forum of Non-state Actors in the Adrar (FANEA) said in a press release on Monday (December 20th). In a December 12th letter to the WHO, Health Minister Cheikh El Moctar Ould Horma Ould Babana called the event "unusual and unexpected in this north region". At least 17 people have died from the livestock-borne viral illness.
