Description:

On May 14, Cyclone Mocha crossed the coast in Rakhine State in Myanmar, bringing flooding, landslides and strong winds to an area of high pre-existing vulnerability, with large numbers of displaced, returned, stateless and crisis affected people. Nearly 3.2 million are considered to be most vulnerable to the cyclone impact based on analysis of shelter quality, food insecurity and coping capacity. Houses, sanitation facilities, and public infrastructure were damaged or destroyed by the cyclone. The Cyclone has also impacted Bangladesh with nearly 430,000 affected people, over 2,000 destroyed houses and more than 10,600 damaged houses across the Chattogram Division. With the support of GAC and other donors, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) provides immediate assistance and international protection to those affected by Cyclone Mocha in Bangladesh and Myanmar. Project activities include: (1) providing shelter, clothing and other essential non-food items; (2) providing adequate water, sanitation and health services; (3) providing protection, including against sexual and gender-based violence, and child protection.
