Yemen - Floods Heavy rains in the recent weeks have caused major flash floods in 12 governorates in Yemen, forcing the displacement
of people who have lost their properties and livelihoods. YRCS deployed volunteers in the branches to support
immediate relief assistance and conduct needs assessments in the most affected communities. Many people have lost
houses, assets, and some of them have lost everything, including food and kitchen items. At this stage, the main priorities
in needs are related to shelter, essential non-food items and livelihoods. Health is also a major concern because of the
potential deterioration of the cholera outbreak in many of the affected areas The operation will focus on the following activities:
1. Provision of Shelter-related household items (HHIs): YRCS will provide immediate relief items to 2,000
households most affected by the floods. This will include procurement of 8,000 blankets (4 per household), and
procurement of 2,000 kitchen sets (1 per household).
2. Provision of WASH-related household items: YRCS will distribute 2,000 hygiene kits (one per household) and
4,000 jerry cans (2 per household) to the most affected households Yemen - den, Marib, Taiz, Hajja, Ibb, Al

Combatting ebola in Liberia 2014 Controlling Ebola and containing its spread is key to preventing new infections, and towards this end the Liberian National Red Cross Society delivers operations in the following areas: health and care, disaster management and risk reduction, food security and livelihoods, safe and dignified burials, and organisational development. As the country has been declared Ebola-free as of 3 September 2015, the focus has changed to long-term recovery activities that take into account the broader impacts of the Ebola outbreak. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first outbreak ever in West Africa. The epidemic in the region began in Guinea and then spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone. There were also outbreaks in Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali. Although Liberia has been declared Ebola-free as of 3 September 2015, Ebola has taken the lives of almost 5,000 people in the country. Community engagement is key to controlling and preventing further infections of the Ebola virus. Creating communications that raise virus awareness, and carrying out health promotion campaigns, including psychosocial support, both improve community-based health for affected populations in Liberia. Virus surveillance mechanisms are also implemented as well as ensuring safe and clean drinking water. Additionally, since the virus reduces food security in affected areas due to populations moving less, reducing economic activity, food assistance is given. In the long-term, vocational programmes for women and youth are put into place to aid recovery. The target for the project remains the entire population of Liberia across all 15 counties, as everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola. In the recovery phase, specific focus will be on Ebola survivors, orphans and vulnerable children, and affected families and communities. The target for the project remains the entire population of Liberia across all 15 counties, as everyone is potentially at risk of contracting Ebola.
Philippines typhoon Haiyan 2013: helping affected communities to rebuild their livelihoods The goal of the recovery assistance is to aid The Philippine Red Cross in re-building the lives of the survivors of typhoon Haiyan by constructing safe and disaster resilient communities, providing livelihood opportunities and resources to cushion the blow of future catastrohphes and to ensure that environmental risks are minimised. Typhoon Haiyan was one of the strongest typhoons to ever hit The Phillippenes, affecting 14.6 million people and damaging 1.1 million houses. Immediately after the Netherlands Red Cross was part of the relief operation, specifcially foccusing on the muncipalities of Isabel and Merida, which were directly in the path of the typhoon and suffered tremendous devastation. The recovery plan will support the affected people in their own recovery efforts by adopting participatory approaches. The people are actively involved as they are taught how to rebuild their community in a resilient way, so that they can withstand any future typhoons or earthquakes. Other people are actively involved in improving water, sanitation and hygiene practices and facilities in their own homes and selected community structures. Additionally the capacity of the Philippine Red cross is enhanced through training about disaster risk management, first aid and early warning and response mechanisms. The project is implemented in 20 Barangays with a total population of 20,381. There is special attention for more vulnerable households, such as people with disabilities, orphans, child-headed households, and people living with HIV. The project will be implemented by the Philippine Red Cross, with technical and managerial support from the Netherlands Red Cross. The project aids 20 Barangays in the muncipalities of Isabel and Merida in Leyte provice.
Mali - Floods Since 7th of August 2018, Mali has been affected by heavy rainfall, which peaked between 17 to 19 August, causing floods across the country. These floods have caused great damage in localities of six out of the ten regions of the country. In addition, according to the Climate Prediction Center’s Africa Hazards Outlook, during the third week of August, heavy rainfall accumulations (>100mm) were received throughout several West African nations including Mali, after several previous weeks of heavy and above-average rainfall. The situation, which in this current post-election period is currently affected by various types of crises (food insecurity, conflicts etc.), is likely to sustain further flooding problems in Mali and will only exacerbate the already enormous humanitarian needs in the coming months Ensuring the basic temporary shelter needs for the most vulnerable households affected by the floods;
• Providing initial food supplies to the most vulnerable and affected groups for their survival;
• Procuring and distributing NFI needs necessary to ensure that the living conditions of affected households are improved;
• Reducing the risks of proliferation of water and vector-borne diseases caused by a lack of minimal hygiene and sanitation conditions. The overall objective of the operation is to reduce risk of further deterioration of the living conditions of the populations affected by the floods in Kita Town through provision of emergency shelter, basic food, NFI, and water, sanitation and hygiene to 600 households or 3,000 people in Kita. town of Kita, in the Kayes region

Combatting ebola in Sierra Leone 2014 The Sierra Leone Red Cross Society seeks to provide short and long-term assistance to those affected by Ebola through community engagement, safe and dignified burials, health and care, disaster risk reduction, food security and livelihood assistance, monitoring and contact tracing, case management, and strengthening the capacity of the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society's to respond to the needs of the affected. 2014's Ebola epidemic in West Africa is the largest to date, and the first outbreak ever in West Africa. The epidemic in the region began in Guinea and then spread to the neighbouring countries of Liberia and Sierra Leone. There were also outbreaks in Senegal, Nigeria, and Mali. As of 7 November 2015, Sierra Leone was declared Ebola-free, but only after the virus claimed nearly 4,000 lives. Creating awareness among communities is critical to helping contain and prevent future cases of the virus. Community-based activities include hygiene promotion, safe and dignified burials that allow relatives and others to mourn the deceased safely to prevent the spread of the virus, psychosocial support, and information-sharing with communities. Other work in communities includes ensuring safe water, increased sanitation, and food security and livelihood support to counter the negative economic effects the virus has on population movements. Another critical component is contact tracing towards effective mapping of the disease, which strengthens resilience in communities. This project targets high-risk groups and opinion leaders, such as: women's groups and associations, bike riders and drivers, schools, religious and traditional healer leaders, health workers, and Ebola patients. Special attention is given to women, since they are particularly vulnerable. This project takes place throughout the country, since everyone is potentially at risk for contracting Ebola. However, focus is give to areas where active transmission occurs and areas with highly vulnerable populations.

Burundi elections crisis 2015: supporting refugees in Tanzania This project offers immediate relief and basic health care needs of the Burundian refugee population through the provision of essential emergency health, relief, water and sanitation services targeting a total of up to 250,000 people (50,000 households) at entry points, and the Nyarugusu and Mtendeli camps, for a period of 15 months. In April 2015, pre-election violence in Burundi resulted in more than 96,000 people fleeing to neighbouring countries, with the majority finding refuge in Tanzania. By the end of May, 15,000 refugees found their way to Tanzania's Nyarugusu refugee camp, and 30,000 were reported at the border post in Kagunga, just two kilometres inside Tanzania's borders. The situation in Tanzania is dire and existing infrastructures are unable to accommodate refugees' needs. This appeal improves TRCS’s health services in the Nyarugusu camp and expand them into the new camp of Mtendeli while maintaining the same approach in all other sectors, and to expand the TRCS work from 5 entry points to 13 entry points. The project supports the Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS) to deliver assistance to a total of 250,000 refugees (increased from 90,000 refugees) in the Mtendeli and Nyarugusu camps.

2019 - Monsoon floods in South Asia Since 7 July 2019, heavy rainfall and water from upstream countries of Nepal and India have led to landslides and extreme flooding in Bangladesh. While flooding during the monsoon season is an annual event, continuous rain and flooding in neighbouring Nepal and India have converged in Bangladesh’s two major river systems (Jamuna and Tista) in the north leading water levels to exceed normal monsoon levels and reaching their highest level in 100 years, making the impacts of the event considerably more extreme than annual monsoon flooding. As of 28 July, seven million people in 28 districts have been affected, with 400,000 houses fully or partially damaged, leading to the displacement of over 280,000 people. People are marooned, communities are detached, and approximately 163,000 hectares of crops have been damaged, leading to loss of livelihoods and food shortages. In 17 days, the death toll reached to 114. The floods have disrupted water supplies and sanitation services leading to shortages in safe drinking water and with many families displaced in shelters and with family, living in crowded conditions and lacking access to suitable sanitation, there is considerable risk from waterborne diseases among the affected population.

Cameroon  - Flash Floods in Santchou Contribute to improving the living conditions of 221 most vulnerable families, following the flash floods in Santchou district (West Cameroon). Since 04 August 2017, the Menoua Division, in the West Region of Cameroon, has been experiencing heavy rainfalls, causing a significant rise of water levels and mudslides to settlements. Resulting from this situation, severe flooding has ensued in the area, causing extensive material damage and loss of life. The needs of the most vulnerable families will be met through distribution of food and non food items, promotion of hygiene and sanitation, mobilizing volunteers, production of educational materials on water, sanitation, and hygiene, and a continued assessment of community needs. This project will reach 221 vulnerable families. This project takes place in Santchou district (West Cameroon).
Cool Schools Lebanon Support to Lebanese schools that host both children of Syrian refugee population and host communities. The project supports the water and sanitation structures in the schools, as well as promotion of hygiene practices among the pupils. With the help of the WASH in Schools II project, the LRC WASH team can thus promote safer hygiene practices, which is especially important in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lebanese schools' capacity is overstretched, as they are providing education to both local population and refugees. Often in two shifts per day. Drop-out rates are at risk of rising, due to insufficient water and sanitation in the schools to provide a clean and safe environment for girls and boys. This project aim is to strengthen the community’s resilience and prevent waterborne diseases. The project will enable and ensure healthy and dignified educational conditions for students in Lebanese public schools whether they are Syrian refugees or from vulnerable Lebanese families through strengthened hygienic behaviors, provision of safe water, improved sanitary conditions, and environmentally sustainable interventions. The Lebanese Red Cross provides 'hardware' support: repairing water tanks, toilets, assessing privacy and safety levels. In addition, 'software' activities: hygiene promotion and installation of sanitation committees composed of school children.
