Using a coupon system, we reached some 3 million people in the city. •WFP will soon be providing cooked meals in Port-au-Prince for school children. Starting with 19 schools in the city, the goal is to reach 50,000 children from some 70 schools. •WFP has started a nutrition drive to run alongside the general distributions, targeting 53,000 children under five and 16,000 pregnant and breast-feeding mothers with specialised food to prevent malnutriton. •In total, WFP has reached more than half a million people outside the capital with food assistance since the quake struck, and continues to scale up these distributions. •An inter-agency needs assessment across the earthquake zone is nearing completion, but early indications are that the priority needs are shelter materials and food. . ---------------------------------------------------- Within 24 hours, WFP emergency food reaches quake survivors Some WFP staff were already in Haiti for ongoing operations. Though their office and depots were destroyed, and many had lost loved ones, within hours they were getting food supplies to survivors. High Energy Biscuits – light and easily transportable – were vital in the immediate aftermath. Five humanitarian corridors are established to deliver aid to Haiti As the frontline humanitarian relief agency, WFP leads the UN's logistics operation. Despite the destruction of most infrastructure, WFP ensures workers and supplies are able to move by road from the Dominican Republic, by plane into Port au Prince airport, and into ports when possible. For two weeks, ready-to-eat food is widely distributed Close to half a million people in Port-au-Prince were homeless and makeshift camps began to form. WFP distributed MREs (meals ready to eat) to those with no cooking facilities in the city. Meals were also delivered to other quake areas, Leogane and Jacmel. WFP reconnects humanitarian community All communications were down when WFP’s emergency telecoms team arrived. They swiftly restored phone and Internet links for the UN, so vital information on disaster needs could be shared. Within a week they’d created a communications hub to serve 100 aid workers. Getting food to orphanages and hospitals is prioritised Port-au-Prince has 300 children’s homes and the quake orphaned many more youngsters. WFP carried out targeted distribution of staple foods and supplements for children in institutions, including special high energy products. Hospitals, too, received special food deliveries. 16 fixed distribution points are set up By the end of January, WFP had set up 16 fixed sites in Port-au-Prince. These sites will be the backbone of a food distribution system for the months ahead. WFP’s local partners identified those in need, giving them coupons to be redeemed at a designated site the next day. Women are targeted with two- week rice rations To ensure food reaches those most in need, WFP gave food coupons to women, who were the only ones allowed access to the fixed sites. A two week ration of rice – 25 kilos – has been delivered to some 2 million Haitians. Further distribution of other staples are planned. WFP stands ready to rebuild Haiti WFP is working with the government as it plans reconstruction. When the immediate emergency is over, and the time comes begin to rebuild, WFP will be running school meals programmes and food-for-work schemes. It will also work closely with local farmers. ------------------------------------------------------ WFP Hotline OSD operates a Hotline to provide a convenient way for WFP employees, its contractors, counterparts, implementing partners, UN agencies and others to confidentially report incidents of fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement concerning WFP and its contractor operations.

For two weeks, ready-to-eat food is widely distributed Close to half a million people in Port-au-Prince were homeless and makeshift camps began to form. WFP distributed MREs (meals ready to eat) to those with no cooking facilities in the city. Meals were also delivered to other quake areas, Leogane and Jacmel. WFP reconnects humanitarian community All communications were down when WFP’s emergency telecoms team arrived. They swiftly restored phone and Internet links for the UN, so vital information on disaster needs could be shared. Within a week they’d created a communications hub to serve 100 aid workers. Getting food to orphanages and hospitals is prioritised Port-au-Prince has 300 children’s homes and the quake orphaned many more youngsters. WFP carried out targeted distribution of staple foods and supplements for children in institutions, including special high energy products. Hospitals, too, received special food deliveries. 16 fixed distribution points are set up By the end of January, WFP had set up 16 fixed sites in Port-au-Prince. These sites will be the backbone of a food distribution system for the months ahead. WFP’s local partners identified those in need, giving them coupons to be redeemed at a designated site the next day. Women are targeted with two- week rice rations To ensure food reaches those most in need, WFP gave food coupons to women, who were the only ones allowed access to the fixed sites. A two week ration of rice – 25 kilos – has been delivered to some 2 million Haitians. Further distribution of other staples are planned.

When the immediate emergency is over, and the time comes begin to rebuild, WFP will be running school meals programmes and food-for-work schemes. It will also work closely with local farmers. -> Within 24 hours, WFP emergency food reaches quake survivors Some WFP staff were already in Haiti for ongoing operations. Though their office and depots were destroyed, and many had lost loved ones, within hours they were getting food supplies to survivors. High Energy Biscuits – light and easily transportable – were vital in the immediate aftermath. Five humanitarian corridors are established to deliver aid to Haiti As the frontline humanitarian relief agency, WFP leads the UN's logistics operation. Despite the destruction of most infrastructure, WFP ensures workers and supplies are able to move by road from the Dominican Republic, by plane into Port au Prince airport, and into ports when possible.
