Nutrition Information in Crisis Situations - Maldives
 


NICS 5, February 2005

According to the UN, the situation in the Maldives has been overlooked by donors (DFID, 03/02/05). According to a WFP rapid vulnerability assessment, in the islands where displacement occurred, all households regardless of their socio-economic status require assistance (OCHA, 02/02/05). It is planned that 29,000 people will benefit from food aid, until cash-employment schemes begin (DFID, 03/02/05). No outbreaks of disease have been reported (WHO, 01/02/05).
