Tourism Zone Health & Safety: The Gambia Tourism Board warns illegal developers in the Tourism Development Area to stop unapproved construction, citing coastal erosion, poor sanitation, and hygiene concerns that can harm public health and tourism. TB Progress Report: Health officials say TB notifications fell 8% in 2025, but The Gambia still lags End TB targets, with incidence and deaths reductions remaining below goals. Public Safety Alert: Banjul North residents are warned about reported crocodiles in drainage systems, with authorities urging caution around open drains and better waste disposal to reduce risks. Eid Support Across Borders: Qatar Red Crescent Society’s Eid Al Adha Sacrifice campaign reached 247,344 beneficiaries in Qatar and 13 countries including The Gambia, providing food support and humanitarian relief.
