With support from the IFRC, and with funding from the European Commission Humanitarian Aid and Civil Protection (ECHO), the Red Cross has reached 15,000 families with food and other relief items, provided hygiene kits and hygiene promotion sessions for 15,000 families, and has distributed mosquito nets to 5,000 families.
