AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoMaritime Health Crisis: The Djibouti Code of Conduct/Jeddah Amendment chair says the humanitarian situation aboard the Palau-flagged tanker MT HONOUR 25 has sharply worsened after more than two months in captivity; all 17 crew are alive, but five—including the captain—now have health problems, food is reportedly down to rice, and drinking water is unsafe, with crews also caught between rival pirate groups after gunfire. Regional Response: The IMO is calling for urgent, coordinated action to secure the safe, unconditional release of crews held on Honour 25 and other seized vessels (SWARD and MV EUREKA), warning that further delay raises risks to lives and wellbeing. Public Health at Borders: Libya’s Civil Aviation Authority orders airlines to screen and report suspected Ebola symptoms on flights arriving from DRC, Uganda, and Level 1 risk countries including Somalia and Djibouti, and to share passenger manifests with health control teams to strengthen airport surveillance. Development Finance & Health Impact: A new report warns that declining global development finance and shrinking aid budgets are hitting health and humanitarian programs hardest across Sub-Saharan Africa, just as Africa faces a key UN leadership transition in 2027.
