Situation Update
A second round of partial Senate and single round
of local elections are scheduled on 29 January. As
a result, escort services provided by
MINUSTAH will be suspended temporarily from
25-31 January. Consequently, there will be no
general food distributions from 25-31 January
in the Grande-Anse and Sud departments.
On Election Day, Haitian and UN security
forces will deploy a total of 12,334 officers across
the country, including 9,297 Haitian National
Police. WFP continues working in coordination
with UNDSS and monitors the situation closely.
WFP Response
Since the beginning of the operation, WFP has
reached 921,439 people with general food
distributions with a total of 15,997 mt of food.
Between 19—26 January, WFP provided
specialized nutritious food to a total of 5,655
children under the age of five and 1,781
pregnant and nursing women.
Cash-based Transfers
Nearly 2,000 people have this last week each
received a 4060 HTG (approximately US$60)
cash-based transfer in Port-Salut (Department of
Sud).
In addition, beneficiary registration was
finalized and SIM cards were distributed in
Sud department (Camp Perrin) as well as in the
Grande-Anse department (Anse d’Hailnault,
Bonbon and Beaumont).
In collaboration with CARE, WFP is organizing
field missions for the members of the
Ministère des Affaires Sociales et du Travail
(MAST) to visit both organisations’ operations in
the departments of Sud and Grande-Anse to follow
-up on operations and strengthen coordination on
the ground between partners and local
populations.
WFP implemented a hotline service to allow all
affected people by the Hurricane to ask questions
and give feedback on assistance provided by
WFP, including cash-based transfers. On 21
January, information about this service was aired
during a creole-language Internews radio
programme broadcasted across Haiti.
In Numbers
2.1 million affected people,
of which 894,000 are children.
1.4 million people require
humanitarian assistance.
806,000 people severely food
insecure.

Logistics Working Group
Air support facilitated by the Logistics Working
Group has been allowing access to remote loca-
tions across Haiti where communities have been
cut off as a consequence of severe flooding, land-
slides and damaged infrastructure. Every day, an
average of 30 passengers are transported to
support distributions, conduct assessments and
other humanitarian activities. So far, over 2,800
passengers and 420 mt of cargo have been trans-
ported to 47 different locations on behalf of fifty-
five organisations.
The Logistics Working Group is also providing air
transport support to partner organisation
MSF with two UNHAS/WFP helicopters to deliv-
er assistance in hard-to-reach areas. So far, it has
facilitated the distribution of 84 mt of non-food
items (NFIs) to 15 hard-to-reach villages of
Sud and Grand-Anse departments.
ICT Working Group
The Telecommunications Working group is de-
commissioning internet connectivity
hotspots which were previously set up in 16 dif-
ferent sites in both Jeremie and Les Cayes. A
common internet service remains available at
each location’s logistics base and at the Centre
d’Operations d’Urgences Departemental
(COUDs).
Both of the satellite dishes provided by Emer-
gency.lu have been recovered along with the
majority of equipment provided by Ericsson Re-
sponse.
Equipment for the ETC Services for Community
Radio project, being implemented with Internews,
has arrived in country. This project seeks to reha-
bilitate four local community radio stations to im-
prove their abilities to transmit important, local-
ized messages and invite increased community
dialogue on humanitarian issues. Radio stations
should be operational by mid-March.
