Special Operation (200760) Provision of Humanitarian Air Services in response to the Ebola Virus Disease Outbreak in West Africa Between 5 August to 15th August, major airline companies suspended  flights  to  and from Monrovia including British Airways, Emirates Airlines, Asky Airlines, Air Cote d’Ivoire, Gambia Bird, Arik Air and Kenya Airways.  This move has hampered movement of both personnel and commodities in and out of Liberia. In addition to air movement, surrounding countries have restricted in measures that aim to prevent the spread of EVD.  Both Ivorian and Nigerian authorities have recently imposed restrictions on all shipping vessels into their territory from EVD affected countries. As a result, food suppliers have started rationing quantities sold to individual retailers. This is starting to significantly push food and other commodity prices upwards. 
WFP UNHAS in Liberia aims to provide necessary air services to the humanitarian community.  With CERF funding of  US1. 3 million, WFP plans to transport people and cargo for two months within EVD affected countries.

Application Summary
The Dry Corridor of Honduras is experiencing the worst drought in a decade.  According to the government, some 186,311 families are directly affected.  In an area already vulerable due to poverty and limited health and education services, the effects of the drought have been severe and fragile families are resorting to negative coping strategies.   An Emergency Food Security Assessment carried out in September 2014 reported decreasing food consumption, deteriorating water availability and increasing malnutrition rates as compared to previous years.

The most likely scenario in the Dry Corridor is a progressive increase in the severity and number of food insecure people as the prolonged drought threatens the upcoming "Postrera" agricultural season.  This scenario would extend food insecurity until the next Primera harvest in August 2015.  To mitigate the further impact of the drought, the government and humanitarian partners have elaborated a Plan of Action and Preliminary Response Plan.

On 21 October 2014, the RC for Honduras submitted a CERF rapid response request for $2.6 million in support of priority activities in the plans.  The CERF funds will benefit some 25,000 food insecure people in 13 municipalities of the Dry Corridor with food security programmes, health and nutrition activities, and WASH services.
