Kindly click here to view OCHA: Hurricane Matthew Situation Report No. 25 as of 25 November 2016, as well as a 3W - Who does What, Where? infographic.

Situation Report Main Points
  • Early data indicate that 90 per cent of the targeted population in 16 communes of the Grand’Anse and Sud departments received cholera vaccination between 8 and 18 November.
  • The Early Recovery sector has reported 6,500 people have benefited from the “cash-for-work” program related to the cleaning of debris in Grand’Anse and Sud.
  • Humanitarian partners are mobilizing their resources to provide assistance as tensions rise in Jérémie, where an estimated 3,000 displaced persons could be forcibly evicted from a main school next week.
  • Landslides on 22 November in Grand’Anse blocked road access to Les Irois, Anse d’Hainault and Dame Marie, preventing medical mobile clinics to access the areas.
