Health Cluster Sitrep No. 3, Tropical Cyclone MOCHA (02 June 2023)

Description: 

"HIGHLIGHTS In the 3rd week of Tropical Cyclone Mocha Response, we are seeing some improvement in the health sector where health facilities are being restored with remaining access limitation for the people in need, due to damaged roads, damaged transport means etc. Rakhine • Early observations and reports demonstrate large variation in the building condition of health facilities and the health service provision in the 10 most affected townships. • Observations are informing that eight out of 16 township hospitals have experienced some damage to the building. While electricity and water are available, in nine hospitals out of 16, it is available with the support of generators – with huge demand for fuel. • The demand is reported to be reduced, and access limited because of the challenges for people in need to physically access the health facilities because of damaged roads, damaged transport means etc. Northwest (Chin, Magway & Sagaing) • The situation in Northwest remains unchanged in 3rd week of Cyclone Mocha, where field observations have reported 9 rural health centres been impacted, most completely damaged with impact on health provision. Kachin • Field observations are reporting that the damaged infrastructure in Waingmaw and in Mansi townships by cyclone Mocha have been restored by the communities..."
