BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese marine forecasting authorities on Friday upgraded the warning for storms to "orange" as Typhoon Malakas is approaching the east coast of Taiwan.
Malakas, the 16th typhoon in 2016, will hit the coasts of Zhejiang and Fujian provinces from Saturday night to Sunday noon, China's National Marine Environmental Forecasting Center (CNMEFC) said in a statement.
The typhoon, observed 530 kilometers off Taiwan's east coast at 8 a.m. Friday, was bringing winds of up to 180 km per hour as it moved northwest and is expected to enter the East China Sea soon, the National Meteorological Center said.
Moreover, CNMEFC maintained an orange warning for ocean waves caused by Malakas as it is expected to whip up waves from seven to 11 meters off Taiwan's east coast, southern East China Sea and nearby Diaoyu Islands from Friday to Saturday. Waves up to 2.5 to 3.8 meters are also expected in the coastal regions of southern Zhejiang and northern Fujian, it said.
Coastal regions in Fujian, Guangdong and Shanghai will see storms starting from Saturday and ships operating in related waters were told to stay clear of the area, according to the document.
China's State Flood Control and Drought Relief Headquarters has also activated a level III emergency response to cope with Malakas.
The headquarters urged local authorities in eastern China to take precautions and dispatched five work teams to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian provinces as well as Shanghai to prepare for aid and relief.
Typhoon Malakas comes hot on the heels of Typhoon Meranti, which has left at least 14 people dead and another 14 missing in the southeastern regions of China since it landed in Fujian Province Thursday morning.
China has a four-tier color-coded warning system for severe weather, with red being the most serious, followed by orange, yellow and blue.
JUBA, Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) on Wednesday said the mission maintains a "zero tolerance approach" to the militarization of camps for people displaced by conflict and that the camps remain civilian in nature.
David Shearer Donne Nike Air Max 270 Trainers Rosa Bianche Scontate , head of the UNMISS called for the need to find a longer-term solution so that the displaced people can return home and live productive lives.
"The only way to keep women and children safe in this camp and others is to make sure they do not become militarized," Shearer said while speaking in Bentiu in the north of the country, where some 115,000 people are currently living in the Mission's largest Protection of Civilians site (POC).
UNMISS currently protects some 218 Donne Nike Air Max 270 Trainers Rosa Chiaro Grigie Scontate ,000 people in seven POC sites across the country where people have fled due to the ongoing conflict in South Sudan.
Some 22 armed men in civilian clothes were in July taken into custody by Mongolian peacekeepers, after they tried to break into the camp to seek shelter from fighting.
"Undoubtedly, UNMISS has saved tens of thousands of lives by providing these sanctuaries from violence, but ultimately only those people in imminent danger and whose lives are at risk should be sheltering in these sites Uomo Nike Air Max 270 Trainers Scuro Blu Bianche Scontate ," said Shearer.
UN Police Officers are working with community groups in the POC sites to ensure that military groups are unable to find refuge there.
Shearer said UNMISS is stepping up peacekeeping patrols outside many of its POC sites to build confidence for local people to return home.
"That needs to go hand in hand with the efforts of humanitarian agencies to provide targeted assistance to surrounding communities to support that return," he said.
