Additional Information / Shotlist 1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,720
Many Southern African countries

2
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:04,080
where MSF is working
are affected by cholera.

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,320
When infected, people develop
profuse diarrhea and vomit

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,600
leading to dehydration
and they can die within 24 hours.

5
00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:14,760
Outbreaks have been reported
in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,120
But the disease is now also present

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,320
in South Africa,
which is usually not the case.

8
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,760
This number of outbreaks
is very worrying.

9
00:00:22,240 --> 00:00:25,120
Areas with a lot of poverty
and lack of good water

10
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:27,640
infrastructure are always
vulnerable to the disease.

11
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,640
Global warming increases
the risk of cyclones

12
00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:32,640
and flooding
in this part of the world,

13
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:34,480
which then further increases

14
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,480
the risk of cholera
outbreaks in the region.

15
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:39,040
The first thing that needs to happen

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,120
is to make vaccines more available.

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,480
There is a global shortage
right now,

18
00:00:43,480 --> 00:00:46,280
and with more outbreaks,
the problem will only get bigger.

19
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,920
More vaccines are an absolute must.

20
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,240
And given the importance
of clean water,

21
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:56,440
government and other organizations
must step up and invest quickly

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,680
in solid infrastructures
for drinking water and sewers.

23
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,200
This is the only
long-term solution.

24
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:04,960
Regular health
promotion activities,

25
00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,840
access to hygiene kits
and training medical staff

26
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,400
to detect and treat
cholera is also key.

27
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,520
It's a predictable
and preventable disease.

28
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,520
If we cannot avoid people
getting sick from cholera,

29
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,880
we must at least
avoid them dying from it.

30
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,120
that the.

31
00:03:39,440 --> 00:04:09,080
one little

32
00:08:24,800 --> 00:08:25,200
Global

33
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,080
warming increases
the risk of cyclones and flooding

34
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,280
in this part of the world,
which then further increases

35
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:33,280
the risk of cholera
outbreaks in the region.

36
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:43,800
Cholera

37
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,240
is a disease caused by eating
or drinking something

38
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,880
that is contaminated
with vibrio cholerae bacteria.

39
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,880
When infected people
develop profuse diarrhea and vomit

40
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,040
leading to dehydration
and they can die

41
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,040
within 24 hours.

42
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,600
cholera bacteria is often
found in dirty water,

43
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,040
and epidemics can spread
very quickly

44
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,040
if people have no access
to clean water.

45
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,040
Many Southern African countries

46
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,400
where MSF is working
are affected by cholera.

47
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:12,320
outbreaks have been reported
in Malawi, Zimbabwe and Mozambique.

48
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,680
but the disease is now also present

49
00:09:14,680 --> 00:09:16,880
in South Africa,
which is usually not the case.

50
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,320
This number of outbreaks
is very worrying.

51
00:09:19,960 --> 00:09:22,360
It doesn't look very good
for the future, to be honest.

52
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:25,640
Areas with a lot of poverty
and lack of good water

53
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,160
infrastructure are always
vulnerable to the disease.

54
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:31,360
Global warming increases
the risk of cyclones

55
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,360
and flooding
in this part of the world,

56
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,320
which then further increases
the risk of cholera outbreaks

57
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,000
in the region.

58
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:39,280
The first thing that needs to

59
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,840
happen
is to make vaccines more available.

60
00:09:42,680 --> 00:09:44,560
There is a global shortage
right now,

61
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:47,360
and with more outbreaks,
the problem will only get bigger.

62
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,000
More vaccines are an absolute must.

63
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,320
and given the importance
of clean water.

64
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:57,520
Government and other organizations
must step up and invest quickly

65
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,760
in solid infrastructures
for drinking water and sewers.

66
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,280
This is the only long
term solution.

67
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,000
Natural disasters

68
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
exacerbate the situation.

69
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,040
For example, Cyclone
Freddy made two separate landfall

70
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,920
in Mozambique and heavy winds
destroyed

71
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:10,240
all critical infrastructures
in some cities.

72
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:12,520
then cholera bacteria

73
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:14,520
contaminated stagnant waters.

74
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:16,840
And we have seen a very sharp
increase

75
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:18,840
in the number of patients.

76
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,800
But it is a disease
caused by eating or drinking

77
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:20,960
something that is contaminated
with vibrio cholerae bacteria.

78
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,360
When infected people develop

79
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,480
profuse diarrhea and vomiting,
leading to dehydration,

80
00:12:27,480 --> 00:12:29,680
and they can die within 24 hours.

81
00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:32,720
When infected people develop

82
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,480
profuse diarrhea and vomit
leading to dehydration,

83
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,680
and it can die within 24 hours.

84
00:12:39,560 --> 00:12:42,320
Clear how bacteria is often
found in dirty waters

85
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,640
and epidemics can spread quickly

86
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:46,640
if people have no access
to clean water.

87
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,680
Many southern African countries

88
00:12:49,680 --> 00:12:52,080
where MSF is working
are affected by cholera

89
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:58,480
But the disease is now

90
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:01,560
also present in South Africa,
which is usually not the case.

91
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,280
This number of outbreaks
is very worrying.

92
00:13:05,480 --> 00:13:08,040
Natural disasters
exacerbate the situation.

93
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,120
For example, Cyclone Freddy

94
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,680

95
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,680
and a heavy winds destroyed

96
00:13:15,680 --> 00:13:18,720
all critical infrastructures
in some cities,

97
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:20,800
then cooling how bacteria

98
00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,080
contaminated stagnant waters.

99
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,480
And we have seen a very sharp
increase

100
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:27,480
in the number of patient.

101
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:41,240
given

102
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:44,680
the importance of clean water,
Government and other organizations

This is
the only long term solution.

106
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:56,200

not it's a predictable

112
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:17,240
If we cannot avoid people

113
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,480
we must at least avoid them
dying from it.

114
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:22,000
Outbreaks

115
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,320
have been reported in Malawi,
Zimbabwe

116
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,520
and Mozambique,

117
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:54,800
It doesn't look very good
for the future.

118
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,600
To be honest,
I realize with a lot of poverty

119
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,120
and a lack of good water
infrastructure

120
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,120
are always vulnerable
to the disease.

121
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:03,960
Global

122
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,840
warming increases
the risk of cyclones and flooding

123
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,840
in this part of the world,
which then further increases

124
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,960
the risk of cholera
outbreaks in the region.

125
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:14,200
The first thing that needs

126
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,760
to happen
is to make vaccines more available.

127
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,120
There is a global shortage
right now,

128
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:22,240

the problem will only get bigger.

More vaccines are an absolute must
