Tropical storm Emily hovers near Haiti, NGOs prepared
Heavy rain poured down over eastern Haiti on Thursday as tropical storm Emily progressed through the Caribbean.
InterAction member NGOs working in Haiti have made intense preparations to cope with a tropical storm or hurricane in Haiti this season. According to an "inter-cluster" analysis by the UN, stocks of food aid rations could cover the needs of at least 500,000 people for 21 days. Stocks of nutritional supplements for children under the age of 5 and for pregnant and lactating women are in quantities great enough to cover their needs for 90 days.
