Overview of the humanitarian situation
The Earthquake and Tropical Depression Grace that affected Haiti on 14 August caused widespread damage across the south. Escalation of violence near the capital, increased displacements throughout the same period of time. An estimated 800,000 people were affected by the earthquake and 19,000 people were displaced by violence, exacerbating already dire humanitarian situation in the country.
CERF-funded assistance
In response to the crisis, CERF allocated $4 million on 8 September 2021 for life-saving activities. This funding came in addition to earlier allocations in response to the earthquake ($8m) and gang violence ($1m) and enabled UN agencies and their partners to provide life-saving assistance to 19,841 people, including 7,871 women, 4,213 men, 6,946 girls, 811 boys, and including 954 people with disabilities in the Shelter, Camp Management, Protection, Logistics and Security sectors.
CERFs Strategic Added Value
The CERF funding led to fast delivery of assistance to affected people in response both to the earthquake and the gang violence and to restore access to basic services such as health and water and sanitation, while ensuring a focus on the most vulnerable, for example by prioritizing the relocation of people with disabilities who found shelter in a school at Delmas 103 or by implementing mobile clinics to monitor malnourished children in sites for displaced people.
