Cholera Vaccines to Bolster Nigeria’s Fight Against Outbreak – Gavi

The Chief Executive Officer of Vaccine Alliance, Gavi, Dr. Sania Nishtar, has announced that cholera vaccines will soon arrive in Nigeria to help combat the ongoing outbreak. This positive development aims to curb the spread of the deadly disease.
Dr. Nishtar shared the news on her X handle on Thursday, emphasizing Gavi’s commitment to supporting Nigeria’s response to the cholera outbreak. She highlighted that Gavi is ready to provide emergency vaccine doses as needed to help contain the situation.
Cholera, a highly contagious disease caused by the ingestion of the Vibrio cholerae bacterium through contaminated water and food, has seen a rise in cases due to the rainy season, which often leads to flooding and compromised water sources. The need for vaccines has become critical as the outbreak continues to affect numerous regions.
As of July 15, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported 3,623 suspected cholera cases and 103 deaths across 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory. The outbreak has spread to 187 Local Government Areas, with a cumulative case fatality rate of 2.8% since the beginning of the year.
Dr. Nishtar’s post on Thursday read, “Encouraged to learn that #Cholera vaccines from the #Gavi-funded global vaccine stockpile will soon arrive in Nigeria to help curb the country’s deadly and ongoing outbreak. We stand ready to work with our partners #UNICEF and #WHO to support Minister #muhammadpate, #Fmohnigeria, and #NCDCgov’s timely efforts to contain this outbreak and protect those at the highest risk.”
The Coordinating Minister of Health and Social Welfare, Prof Muhammad Pate, expressed gratitude towards Gavi’s CEO for facilitating the arrival of the vaccines. He also thanked President Tinubu for his leadership in establishing a multi-sector cabinet committee to support the Emergency Operations Centre led by the NCDC. Prof Pate mentioned, “We are seeing early signs of slowing down but we’ll not relent as the situation can reverse. So, the cholera vaccines strengthen our hands.”
This collaborative effort marks a significant step towards controlling the cholera outbreak and protecting the health and well-being of those most at risk in Nigeria.

LA Wildfires Continue to Burn as Evacuation Orders Expand and Search Efforts Intensify

The battle against wildfires in Los Angeles rages on, with evacuation orders remaining in place for vast areas threatened by flames. Officials are defending their response as fire crews work tirelessly to contain the blazes and cadaver dogs search for potential victims in the aftermath.
The Palisades Fire, the largest and most destructive of the current wildfires, has grown to over 22,000 acres, an increase of 1,000 acres overnight. Containment has risen slightly to 11%, but evacuation orders remain active for communities in Brentwood and Encino, where residents are reeling from the impact.
Josh Sautter, head of the Encino Neighborhood Council, described the panic caused by the evacuations: “People were completely freaked out as the orders swept through the community.”
According to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Los Angeles is now dealing with four active fires, a reduction from six earlier in the week. The contained Archer, Lidia, Sunset, Woodley, and Olivas fires no longer pose a threat.
Here are the latest updates on the remaining wildfires:
- Palisades Fire:
The first fire to ignite last Tuesday, it has scorched more than 22,000 acres, including areas of the Pacific Palisades. Officials warn it could become one of the most destructive fires in California’s history. Containment is at 11%. - Eaton Fire:
Burning in the northern parts of the city, including Altadena and areas near Pasadena, this fire covers nearly 14,000 acres and is now 15% contained, a significant improvement from 3% yesterday. Evacuations have expanded to include Hastings Ranch, Sierra Madre, and Arcadia. - Hurst Fire:
North of San Fernando, this fire has burned approximately 800 acres since it began Tuesday night. Containment has reached 76%. - Kenneth Fire:
Situated on the Los Angeles-Ventura County border, this fire has scorched over 1,050 acres. Authorities report it is now 80% contained, with no structural damage reported.
In addition to the expanded evacuation zones, search-and-rescue teams are working in areas previously devastated by flames to locate any victims. The use of cadaver dogs underscores the severity of the situation.
Efforts to control the fires are ongoing, with containment lines being reinforced to prevent further spread. Officials urge residents to remain vigilant and adhere to evacuation orders for their safety.

Canada’s Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland Resigns

Canada’s Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned following a disagreement with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau over the country’s economic strategy. The announcement came just hours before she was scheduled to deliver the government’s annual fiscal update on Monday.
In her resignation letter, Freeland revealed a growing rift with Trudeau, stating they were “at odds about the best path forward for Canada.” The resignation follows Trudeau’s decision last week to remove Freeland as his government’s top economic advisor.
At the center of their dispute was a proposed policy to provide a C$250 ($175; £139) cheque to eligible Canadians, which Freeland opposed, calling it a “costly political gimmick” that Canada could not afford. She emphasized in her letter that Canada must “keep its fiscal powder dry” in light of economic challenges, including the looming threat of tariffs from U.S. President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump has vowed to impose a 25% tariff on Canadian imports, a move economists warn could severely impact Canada’s economy. Freeland described this as “a grave challenge” and urged the government to prepare for its potential fallout.
Freeland, a long-time ally of Trudeau within the Liberal Party, has been Canada’s finance minister since 2020, steering the nation through the economic turbulence of the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath. Her resignation marks the second time a finance minister has departed during Trudeau’s tenure due to policy disagreements; her predecessor, Bill Morneau, stepped down in 2020 amid a clash over spending policies and ethics concerns.
Freeland’s departure signals a major shift in Trudeau’s cabinet as the government faces mounting economic pressures.
