UOSSM: Fears of Infectious Disease Epidemics Increased, Necessitates an Immediate Action by WHO and International Organizations

UOSSM: Fears of Infectious Disease Epidemics Increased, Necessitates an Immediate Action by WHO and International Organizations
Washington DC (PRWEB) February 22, 2013
UOSSM urges the World Health Organization to extend its medical assistance to the besieged and heavily stricken areas inside Syria, and to urgently implement the necessary preventive measures to counter the mounting fears of infectious diseases spreading, after several reports denoting to increased incidence and outbreaks of infections caused by contamination of drinking water and poor sanitation services by local municipal authorities.
On Feb 13th -2013, Reuters reported that “Typhoid has broken out in an opposition-held region of Syria due to people drinking contaminated water from the Euphrates River, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Tuesday.” According to the same report, “An estimated 2,500 people in northeastern Deir al-Zor province are infected with the contagious disease, which causes diarrhea and can be fatal” This report was published just one week after another report by Aljazeera stating that, ”Water-borne diseases are spreading in Syria, compounding the problems of hospitals that are perilously short of medicine and doctors after nearly two years of fighting, the World Health Organization says.”
http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2013/02/201325202924804306.html
http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/19/us-syria-crisis-aid-idUSBRE91I0ET20130219
UOSSM views the current situation of public health infrastructure and services in Syria as catastrophic, and necessitates an immediate international assistance.
“Since the Syrian upraising in March 2011, the public health system has been incapacitated all across the country. Regular vaccination programs for children were, reportedly, interrupted, risking the most vulnerable sector of our society to preventable communicable diseases. The extensive destruction in the infrastructure of public health is a real threat for millions of Syrians, and could result in massive Deaths.” Dr Tawfik Chamaa, spokesperson of UOSSM, said, “ The shortage of drinkable water, medicines and health care will put extra strain on already struggling Syrians, and will create all the circumstances to epidemics by infectious disease, specially in the upcoming high temperature season in the under-serviced areas.”
UOSSM urges the World Health Organization to implement preventative measures to lower the possibilities of infection epidemics in devastated areas inside Syria. UOSSM stresses the importance of providing clean and drinkable water sources to areas that have been under heavy escalation by Assad forces, and where the infrastructure had been damage.
The UOSSM is a coalition of humanitarian, non-governmental, independent organizations, created following the deadly events in Syria, to provide medical and humanitarian aid to Syrian. UOSSM was established by 14 medical and relief organizations, and includes hundreds of physicians of mainly Syrian origins distributed in the United States, Canada, in Europe and in different Arab countries.

The Syrian Expatriates Organization (SEO) Outraged at Latest Round of Scud Missile Attacks on Aleppo
Washington DC (PRWEB) February 23, 2013
Scud missiles fired by the Assad regime into the city of Aleppo have flattened dozens of houses and killed at least 12 people, opposition sources told the New York Times. This latest attack comes on the heels of a previous attack with scud missiles on Aleppo on Feb 19th that killed over 20 people.

SEE: Syria Scud-Type Missile Said to Kill 20 in Aleppo http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/19/us-syria-crisis-idUSBRE91I0GK20130219
SEO continues to demand the international community take meaningful and swift action to protect the people of Syria from these heinous and deadly attacks. “The insanity of the Assad regime has reached new disturbing proportions as they drop missiles capable of causing devastation on a large scale on heavily populated civilian areas” said SEO Chairman Dr. Mazen Hasan. “Never have we seen Scud missiles used by a government to kill its own citizens. Assad is a menace, and is terrorizing the Syrian people on a daily basis. The lack of outrcry by the international community against these attacks is unconscionable, and today is not the first time we hear of scud missile being used in Syria. This is a war crime that necessitates immediate measures to protect the Syrian people from a dictator gone mad,” said Hasan.

Jigsaw Academy Announces the Launch of its Online Certification Course in Retail Analytics
Bangalore, India (PRWEB) March 12, 2013
Jigsaw Academy, the world’s premier online analytics training company, announces the launch of its Certification Course in Retail Analytics. “The retail industry in India is on a path of unprecedented growth. As the players enter new markets and woo more customers, big data will be at the crux of all significant business decisions. As such data analysts with retail analytics expertise will be in high demand,”said Gaurav Vohra, CEO and Co Founder of Jigsaw Academy.
“Accounting for 14-15% of the country’s GDP, the retail industry in India is expected to grow from $ 400 billion to $ 700 billion by the end of 2013 (Global Consultancy Northbridge Capital). A McKinsey report, ‘The rise of the Indian Consumer Market,’ further estimates that the Indian consumer market is likely to grow four times by 2025. As the industry prepares to hurl itself towards this predicted growth, players will engage in cut throat competition. And as FDI norms are relaxed and foreign retailers make a beeline for India, the game will only get fiercer. Large retailers like Shoppers Stop, Pantaloons and Lifestyle will now have to compete against the might of global giants like Walmart and Tesco,” continues Gaurav.
“As players across the board aggressively woo customers, problems on the ground such as huge inventory pile-ups, bloated interest rates and working capital requirements will have to be dealt with on a war footing. Here is where analytics come in. Today’s retailers will turn to predictive analysis to understand unpredictable consumer behaviour. They will also use analytic tools to find ways and means of cutting down operating costs and making the business more sustainable,” said Sarita Digumarti, Co Founder and Faculty at Jigsaw Academy.
The course designed by retail analytics veterans, Anshuman Acharya, Gaurav Vohra and Sarita Digumarti, aims to give one a hands-on experience in the application of retail analytics through a series of case studies on category management, customer profitability analysis, marketing mix modelling and store clustering using the SAS language.
“The retail analytics course focuses on the fundamentals of the retail business and essential retail analytics skills, such as market basket analysis, customer segmentation and marketing mix,” says Sarita. With their experience spanning global retailers like Walmart, 7-11, JC Penney and FMCG companies like P&G and Pepsi, the faculty of the course are truly able to give the students a practical insight into retail analytics.
About the company
Jigsaw Academy is a first of its kind online learning academy that provides industry-relevant e-training and education in the field of data science and analytics to develop business-ready professionals. It’s carefully-designed courses are a unique blend of statistics, statistical tools and industry knowledge, all taught through real life examples.

Syrian Opposition Coalition Announces US Offices in Washington, DC and New York City
Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 26, 2013
The National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces (“Syrian Coalition” or “SC”) announces the appointment of Dr. Najib Ghadbian as the Syrian Coalition’s Special Representative to the US and the opening of its United States Office in Washington, DC.
The Washington Office will serve as the SC’s official liaison to the US government and foreign policy community on matters relating to the pro-democracy movement, including coordination and delivery of much-needed humanitarian aid to Syria. The Washington Office represents the united opposition supporting the Syrian revolution and working to establish peace, freedom, and democracy for all Syrians. The Washington Office will also reach out to all Syrian Americans and Syrian nationals in the US, in order to help move Syria forward with unity and cooperation toward an inclusive, democratic future.
Special Representative Ghadbian, a pro-democracy activist and Professor of Political Science at the University of Arkansas, holds a PhD in Political Science from the City University of New York. He is a published scholar in Arabic and English, and he has long been active in the Syrian pro-democracy movement, including as a signatory to the Damascus Declaration in 2005 and a co-founder of the Syrian National Council in 2011.
Attorney Oubab Khalil serves as Chief of Staff of the Washington Office. Dr. Murhaf Jouejati is the Washington Office’s Political Advisor. Bassel Korkor is Legal Advisor to the Washington Office. Christy Delafield serves as the Washington Office Liaison to the Assistance Coordination Unit, the Syrian Coalition’s humanitarian aid arm. The SC is also establishing a New York Office with Mariam Jalabi as the United Nations Agencies Liaison.
The National Coalition of Syrian Revolution and Opposition Forces was formed in November 2012 as a unified front for the pro-democracy movement in Syria. The Coalition includes representatives from throughout Syria as well as independent activists, and its diversity reflects Syria’s mosaic of religious and ethnic backgrounds. The United States has recognized the Syrian Coalition as the legitimate representative of the Syrian people, as have over 120 other countries. Special Representative Ghadbian and the US Office join other internationally recognized SC representatives, including Monzer Makhous in France, Walid Safur in the United Kingdom, and Nizar al-Haraki in Qatar.

Delegation Of Syrian Canadian citizens met with Members of Canadian Parliament; Expressed their Concerns About the Humanitarian Relief and Immigration Issue

Delegation Of Syrian Canadian citizens met with Members of Canadian Parliament; Expressed their Concerns About the Humanitarian Relief and Immigration Issue
Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 27, 2013
On February 2013, a delegation of Canadian citizens representing several Syrian Canadian organizations met with members of Canadian Parliament from the NDP, Liberal, and Conservative parties. The objectives were to highlight the concerns of Syrian Canadian citizens, and to inform elected representatives on the actual situation regarding the Syrian crisis and its ramifications. The meeting focused mainly on the topics of humanitarian relief and immigration.
Addressing the humanitarian concerns, Mr Faisal Alazem, The chair of the media committee- Syrian Canadian Council, said; “ We think that on the humanitarian aid level, Canada’s generosity towards the Syrian people needs to be stepped up to a level similar to what it has been, bravely, demonstrated in all previous humanitarian crises anywhere in the world. “ Moreover, Mr. AlAzem stated facts about Canada’s contribution;” Canada has made a commitment to pledge 4% of the world humanitarian aid; however, in 2012 it accounted only for 2.2% towards Syria. We would like to ask the Canadian government to double its humanitarian aid to $ 100 million, in accordance with Canada’s traditional levels of humanitarian giving.”
Mr. AlAzem stresses the importance that humanitarian aids to Syria end up in a reliable organization, to ensure fair distribution to people in dire needs; “Currently, Canada’s humanitarian aid to Syria is being funneled reliable partners, only through UN and Red Cross agencies. However, Canada needs to ensure that none of its aid ends up being funneled to the Syrian Arab Red Crescent, as it is suspected of close ties to the Syrian regime.”

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2012/08/195965.htm
Raising concerns over the immigration issue, Mr. Malaz sebai, a member in SEO, said; “We are looking for the Canadian government to adopt and implement new measures to facilitate immigration, similar to those taken previously during similar humanitarian disasters, like the one in 2005 for the Tsunami, 2007 for Iraq, 2009 for Philippines, and 2010 for Haiti “ Describing the suffering of Syrians, Mr. Saibi, said; “ The last two years of Syrian revolution had impose lot of suffering on every Syrian inside or aboard. Despite this long time plight, yet there is no special immigration law for family reunification or application priority processing have been put in place for Syrians. Moreover, despite months of repeated requests, the Immigration Minister has yet to meet with groups representing concerned Canadian citizens from the Syrian community.”
Talking on the behalf of SCC, Mr. AlAzem, said ”The Syrian Canadian community will continue to work tirelessly to remind the Canadian government that a humanitarian crisis in Syria has reached a catastrophic level; it is time to turn words and principles into action; and we have to adhere to the values and morals that Canadians hold and respect.”
