InterAction Members Respond to Hurricane-Impacted Communities in Haiti and Cuba
Washington, DC\u2014The recent hurricanes have brought about humanitarian crises in Haiti and Cuba.

Twenty-seven InterAction member organizations are responding to needs with emergency medical, food, shelter, water and hygiene supplies. Many InterAction members are partnering with local organizations to provide aid.

Needs assessments are not complete for either country, but estimates are that 800,000 people are in
need of aid in Haiti; 400,000 have been affected in Cuba. In addition to destroyed homes and
infrastructure, crops have also sustained significant damage.

A regularly updated list of agencies responding will be available at:
www.interaction.org/haiticuba
InterAction has also developed guidelines on the most appropriate ways to help those affected by
overseas disasters:h ttp:/ / www.in ter ac ti on. or g/d is as ter / gui de_ gi vi ng. htm l.

InterAction is a coalition of more than 165 US-based private relief, international development and refugee assistance organizations. InterAction members have agreed to abide by a set of standards to ensure accountability to donors, professional competence and quality of service.
