Dear partners,

Kindly click here to view OCHA: Hurricane Matthew Situation Report No. 26 as of 30 November 2016.

Situation Report Main Points
  • Messages on the impact of looting and the scope of international humanitarian assistance were broadcast on 26 November through local radios in affected regions.
  • Amidst tension on the reopening of schools and eviction of displaced population in Jeremie, the humanitarian actors will provide direct emergency assistance to displaced populations hosted in public schools to enable their safe return to their place of origin.
  • Some 121 schools are being rehabilitated in Grand’Anse, Nippes, South, and North-West departments. These efforts will benefit approximately 40,000 children of the 150,000 who have been out of school since the hurricane.
  • From 4 October to 22 November, WHO/PAHO registered 7,959 suspected cholera cases.

Domestic Violence. A marker as simple as how someone treats their pets.

Although domestic abuse has seen a decline in recent years, there are still millions — millions — of Americans who endure it each year. Not only is it a terrible way way to live — domestic violence victims never deserve to be abused, period — it’s behavior that should never be tolerated.

To show our support for those in abusive relationships, we wanted to share some helpful articles that we hope will provide some hope:










If you are a victim of domestic violence, please know that you deserve better, and there are many ways to get the help you need. If you’re not comfortable contacting your local law enforcement agency, consider reaching out to an anonymous hotline:
