HealthCrisis🇦🇷Argentina 🇦🇶AQ

91d ago

A deadly hantavirus outbreak has been identified aboard the MV Hondius cruise ship that departed from Argentina, with several passengers having already returned to their home countries. Argentine health officials and experts are investigating whether the country is the source of the outbreak, as Argentina consistently ranks highest in hantavirus incidence across Latin America according to WHO data.

A cruise ship carrying 147 passengers and crew from 23 countries reported a cluster of severe respiratory illness linked to hantavirus infection on 2 May 2026. As of 4 May, 7 cases had been identified—2 laboratory-confirmed hantavirus infections and 5 suspected—with 3 deaths, 1 critically ill patient, and 3 with mild symptoms. The Dutch-flagged vessel departed Argentina on 1 April and visited remote regions including Antarctica, South Georgia, and island territories in the South Atlantic before being moored off Cabo Verde. WHO-coordinated response includes case isolation, medical evacuation, laboratory investigation, and international contact tracing, with particular concern given documented human-to-human transmission potential of the Andes hantavirus variant.

Every year, World Breastfeeding Week reminds us of one of the simplest and most powerful ways to give every child the best possible start in life. It highlights the importance to begin breastfeeding within the first hour after birth, feeding babies only breast milk for the first six months, and continue breastfeeding alongside complementary foods until the age of two years or beyond. This year's theme, "Breastfeeding for a Sustainable Start in Life: Strengthen What Works," highlights the need to promote, and support breastfeeding as a cornerstone of child survival, maternal health, and sustainable development.

United States President Donald Trump said late on Saturday he would hold off on a fresh attack on Iran as long as a deal could be reached quickly to halt Iran’s nuclear ambitions and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran and “other Middle Eastern Countries” asked for a time to complete a deal that would lead to “the Immediate, Complete and Total” reopening of the Strait and “an end to Iran’s nuclear threat,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform. “Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL.” Israel “joins me in this commitment,” Trump wrote.

The oil companies have been demanding that oil smuggling be stopped, but it has continued for years. However, the arrival of Iranian petroleum products increased after the US-Israeli war on Tehran began, pushing crude oil prices above $100 per barrel.
