The article "Environment and Diseases in the Sahel (West Africa). Between Two Worlds" examines the interaction between environmental conditions and disease prevalence in the Sahel region. It highlights that the Sahel, located between the Saharan and Sudanese climates, is a convergence zone for various epidemics. Diseases vary according to the seasons and the lifestyles of the populations: nomadic pastoralists and sedentary farmers are not affected in the same way. For example, the "lean cow" period for pastoralists, corresponding to the end of the dry season, differs from the "empty granaries" period for farmers. This complex dynamic between environment and public health makes disease management particularly difficult in this region.

Burkina Faso is facing a severe food crisis, exacerbated by violence perpetrated by armed groups that have displaced nearly one and a half million people, mainly women and children. This situation has led to widespread food insecurity, jeopardizing the health and survival of many families. Terre des hommes (Tdh) is responding by providing emergency aid while continuing its actions aimed at strengthening the resilience of affected populations. The organization is setting up health and nutrition programs for children and mothers, offering psychosocial support to victims of violence, and working to improve sanitation conditions and access to drinking water. Tdh is also working with local communities to develop sustainable solutions to this humanitarian crisis.
