Bundled distributions are continuing. Despite the constraints linked to access to certain areas affected by the earthquake, the response is also continuing in Grand'Anse. However, the shelter needs; water, sanitation, and hygiene; food and health care are still urgently needed in several communities. Non-food products : Between 23 and 25 August, IOM, Unicef and WFP assisted 2,200 families respectively in Melon (Maniche, South) and Camp-Perrin (South). The beneficiaries received a tarpaulin, batches of hygiene products, blanket and bucket.

The mayor of the commune, accompanied by Haitian police, Civil Protection volunteers, a team of firefighters from Gressier, seconded to the South, and a group of student volunteers, ensured the distribution. Water, sanitation and hygiene: The water supply is partially restored in several communities, thanks to the direct distribution of water containers, the mobilization of tankers, the installation of flexible tanks (with or without distribution ramp) or drinking water treatment units. The regional water and sanitation office (Orepa Sud) has installed, with the support of MSF Belgium, a pumping station in the Chardonnières river, which, after treatment, allows the population to be supplied by truck or by supplying two 5m3 tanks. All the communes of the department have drinking water distribution trucks (UNICEF) In Nippes, water is also distributed by truck to Petit-Trou de Nippes [MSF Holland]. The South Departmental Directorate for Drinking Water and Sanitation is stepping up its interventions to make drinking water available in areas where its networks have been damaged.

Health : On August 24, three new organizations came to support the Ministry of Public Health and Population in the South. The operating theaters at Immaculée Conception Hospital (HIC) in Cayes and Ofatma are receiving additional support from MSF France and Cadena, respectively, with 3 surgeons. 8 physiotherapists are also present in these two hospitals to help patients, whose case requires it, to restore their optimal physical functioning. At the same time, interventions (support for victims, access and continuity of institutional and outpatient services, acquisition and distribution of inputs and drugs, etc.) are continuing in the three departments directly affected by the earthquake.
