Humanitarian Assistance to Children and Women in Central America affected by the passage of Hurricane Stan
Hundreds of thousands of children across the region have been affected by flooding and landslides associated with the passage of hurricane Stan. They require urgent humanitarian assistance through interventions in health, nutrition, water and sanitation, protection and education. UNICEF requests US$8,055,000 to sustain on-going relief efforts throughout the region. The scope of the disaster in Guatemala has been huge. Flooding and landslides have caused loss of life, injury, displaced persons and damaged housing and infrastructure in 251 of 331 municipalities in 15 of the country's 22 departments situated in the South and Western parts of the country. In recognition of the gravity of the situation, on 5 October the Government declared a state of national emergency ("estado de calamidad nacional") and on 7 October it requested assistance from the international community. UNICEF requests US$ 3,600,000 to respond to the needs of childen and women in Guatemala.
