Haiti - Hurricane

Regional Team: ASIA/LAC

Assistance Provided: 07/15/2005

Brief Description: From July 6 to 7, Hurricane Dennis caused significant damage to the southern peninsula of Haiti that resulted in approximately 40 deaths. The Haitian Ministry of Interior (MOI) reported that the flooding and winds caused by Hurricane Dennis affected 15,000 residents and damaged agriculture and infrastructure. The International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), and the U.N. World Health Organization (WHO) are providing food, potable water, and emergency relief supplies to those affected by Hurricane Dennis. These organizations report that the most critical need is potable water, particularly in areas where water systems were destroyed. Residents in affected areas are also in need of emergency relief supplies such as blankets, hygiene kits, and shelter materials.
