Malaysia's economy heavily depends on trade and tourism. However, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for Malaysia's products has declined, and therefore Malaysia isn't able to sell as many products as before. Additionally, Malaysia has implemented very strict (well, that's how it used to be) lockdowns, which prevents tourists from coming in to Malaysia, badly impacting the tourism industry.

Nigeria recently went into a recession after 2 consecutive quarters of a decline in its GDP. This is mostly blamed on its Oil, which is its largest sector. Nigeria usually produces about 2 million barrels per day, however now it's only producing about 1.4 million barrels per day. Being the largest economy in Africa, also means that other countries rely on them, hence other African economies have been declining. Al Jazeera

According to the UN, South Sudan has been struggling to uphold its healthcare system causing there to be underfunding and a lack of equipment. South Sudan as a whole only has 4 ventilators and staff are failing to be paid.

But limited testing and social stigmatization is likely obscuring the true magnitude of the pandemic, said Mr. Shearer, who heads the UN Mission in the world's youngest nation ( UNMISS).

The Mission's greatest fear is that the additional pressure of responding to COVID-19 on South Sudan's weak healthcare system will disrupt vaccinations, maternal health services and treatment for curable diseases like malaria, diarrhoea and pneumonia.

The result could be a "devastating" increase in deaths that would likely greater than the loss of life from COVID-19 itself.

Systemic threat

"COVID is going to hit hard, but not necessarily in the way that we think", he told the Council via video-teleconference.

"Yes, people will die from the virus, like everywhere else in the world. But the real threat to the people of South Sudan lies in the collapse of the already fragile health system", he said.

"This could result in many many more lives being lost - a tragedy that can be prevented."

South Sudan attained independence from Sudan in July 2011. However, it has been mired in political instability and violence since 2013, centred around fighting between forces loyal to the president and his former vice-president.

Equipment, expertise lacking

While the infectious diseases hospital in the capital Juba has been expanded, UNMISS has renovated and equipped hospitals in 10 states to treat COVID-19 patients. NGOs are helping to staff these facilities, but equipment and expertise are severely lacking.

"To keep clinics open, it is imperative that health workers have personal protective equipment", said Mr. Shearer, adding that 86 health workers have been infected and salaries are going unpaid.

Fresh energy needed

Turning to the peace process, Mr. Shearer said that it is "faltering" and in need of fresh energy and a reset, despite some positive developments in recent months.

Those included the formation of a unity Government and an agreement in June - after a four-month standoff - on the allocation of states between Sudan People's Liberation Movement in Government (SPLM-IG), led by President Salva Kiir, and the SPLM in Opposition, led by First Vice President Riek Machar.

Going forward, Mr. Shearer - who presented the Secretary-General's latest report on South Sudan - said that state governors should now be appointed to fill a power vacuum and tackle a four-fold increase in violent incidents over the past two years.

Violence in Jonglei, Unity, Lakes, Warrap and Western Equatoria states - in which hundreds of civilians have been killed, women and children abducted, and more than 60,000 people displaced - can no longer be pigeonholed as "intercommunal", he said.

Threat of ceasefire unravelling

"Fighters in uniform have been spotted ... suggesting that organized forces may be joining the conflict, which risks unravelling the ceasefire", he said.

A truly unified national leadership would have promptly stepped in, but instead the violence has been allowed to play out and used to sort out power arrangements at the national and subnational levels, he explained.

"This cycle of impunity fuels serious human rights violations where civilians once again bear the brunt of violence", added Mr. Shearer, noting that 7.4 million people will need humanitarian assistance in South Sudan, including many urban poor.

South Sudan is facing the twin threat of COVID-19 and an uptick in violence that risks unravelling a fragile ceasefire and derailing the peace process, the top UN official in the country says. Briefing the Security Council on Tuesday, David Shearer said that so far, nearly 2,000 cases of novel coronavirus - and 35 deaths - have been recorded in South Sudan.

According to UNICEF.org, 463 million children worldwide are currently not receiving an education because they are out of school due to COVID and don't have access to online learning.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
NEW YORK, 27 August 2020 - At least a third of the world's schoolchildren - 463 million children globally - were unable to access remote learning when COVID-19 shuttered their schools, according to a new UNICEF report released today as countries across the world grapple with their 'back-to-school' plans.

"For at least 463 million children whose schools closed due to COVID-19, there was no such a thing as remote learning," said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director. "The sheer number of children whose education was completely disrupted for months on end is a global education emergency. The repercussions could be felt in economies and societies for decades to come."

At the height of nationwide and local lockdowns, around 1.5 billion schoolchildren were affected by school closures. The report outlines the limitations of remote learning and exposes deep inequalities in access.

The report uses a globally representative analysis on the availability of home-based technology and tools needed for remote learning among pre-primary, primary, lower-secondary and upper-secondary schoolchildren, with data from 100 countries. Data include access to television, radio and internet, and the availability of curriculum delivered across these platforms during school closures.

Although the numbers in the report present a concerning picture on the lack of remote learning during school closures, UNICEF warns the situation is likely far worse. Even when children have the technology and tools at home, they may not be able to learn remotely through those platforms due to competing factors in the home including pressure to do chores, being forced to work, a poor environment for learning and lack of support in using the online or broadcast curriculum.

The report highlights significant inequality across regions. Schoolchildren in sub-Saharan Africa are the most affected, where at least half of all students cannot be reached with remote learning.

Schoolchildren from the poorest households and those living in rural areas are by far the most likely to miss out during closures, the report says. Globally, 72 per cent of schoolchildren unable to access remote learning live in their countries' poorest households. In upper-middle-income countries, schoolchildren from the poorest households account for up to 86 per cent of students unable to access remote learning. Globally, three quarters of schoolchildren without access live in rural areas.

The report also notes varying rates of access across age groups, with the youngest students most likely to miss out on remote learning during their most critical years of learning and development:

At least 70 per cent of schoolchildren of pre-primary-age - 120 million children - cannot be reached, largely due to challenges and limitations to online learning for young children, lack of remote learning programmes for this education category, and lack of home assets for remote learning.

At least 29 per cent of primary schoolchildren - 217 million students - cannot be reached. At least 24 per cent of lower-secondary schoolchildren - 78 million students - cannot be reached.

Upper-secondary schoolchildren were the least likely to miss out on remote learning with at least 18 per cent - 48 million schoolchildren- not having the technological assets to access remote learning.

UNICEF urges governments to prioritize the safe re-opening of schools when they begin easing lockdown restrictions. When reopening is not possible, UNICEF urges governments to incorporate compensatory learning for lost instructional time into school continuity and reopening plans. School opening policies and practices must include expanding access to education, including remote learning, especially for marginalized groups. Education systems must also be adapted and built to withstand future crises.

UNICEF's Framework for Reopening Schools, issued jointly with UNESCO, UNHCR, WFP and the World Bank, offers practical advice for national and local authorities. The guidelines focus on policy reform; financing requirements; safe operations; compensatory learning; wellness and protection and reaching the most marginalized children.

As part of its Reimagine campaign aims to prevent the COVID-19 pandemic from aggravating a lasting crisis for children, especially the poorest and most vulnerable, UNICEF is calling for urgent investment to bridge the digital divide, reach every child with remote learning, and, most critically, prioritize the safe reopening of schools.

Notes to editors:

The analysis uses findings from the UNESCO-UNICEF-World Bank Survey on National Education Responses to COVID-19 School Closures joint survey. The number of children potentially reached by broadcast media or internet solutions is based on the availability of related assets (TV, radio and internet) at home, not their actual use by children. Hence the number of children "potentially reached" are upper estimates of the reality of children "actually reached". Paper-based coverage is not accounted for due to lack of reliable data.

The analysis does not focus on out-of-school children. For the latest data on out-of-school children visit: https://www.unicef.org/sites/default/files/2019-12/SOWC-2019.pdf
