On 30 May 2017, Category 1 Mora made landfall in Cox’s Bazar District, with a maximum wind speed of 130 km/h. Several hours later the cyclone moved north across the Districts of Bangladesh. As of 3 June, an estimated 3.3 million people have been affected across 4 dis- tricts (Needs Assessment Working Group 72 hour assessment, 3/6/2017).

Cox’s Bazar District suffered the heaviest impact, with an estimated 335,000 people affected. Among them, approximately 12,000 are extreme poor. The cyclone damaged 53,000 shelters across the district, completely destroying 17,000. The most severe impact is concentrated in Teknaf, Kutubdia, Ukhia, and Moheshkali. Six camps, where Rohingya originating from Rakhine State in reside with a total population of 150,000 , were ravaged, suffer- ing extensive damage not only to shelters, but also to facilities on-site in- cluding clinics and latrine super-structures.

Shelter and WASH needs are the urgent priority to prevent outbreak. House- hold assets including household items and food stocks were soaked and damaged in the wake of the storm, resulting in need for immediate food support and non-food items (NFI). Significant impact on crops, livestock, shrimp farms and fishing assets, especially in Teknaf - Sabrang (Shawporir Dwip) and to a lesser extent Baharchora coastal areas - will extend the need Map 1: Severity Index* for emergency support in the short term. The cyclone comes in the lead up to the lean season, placing additional pressure on the coping capacities of communities that were already poor.

Vulnerabilities have been exacerbated by the impact of the storm: it is es- sential that the cyclone response identifies and caters for specific needs, ensuring that the people who need it are receiving the right assistance, and that people can feel safe and protected even while they rebuild. Women, men, boys and girls will have access to tailored, appropriate assistance, and effective and transparent complaint mechanisms.

The Government of Bangladesh, the Bangladeshi Red Crescent Movement, and other humanitarian agencies on the ground began responding even prior to the onset of the storm. Food and shelter distributions began in the wake of the cyclone, starting in cyclone shelters where many people stayed in overcrowded conditions for the first night. Repair of damaged facilities be- gan the following day, and must continue at pace to ensure restoration of basic services, and enhanced preparedness for the rest of the season.

The Inter-Sector Coordination Group is seeking $6,750,000 to provide immediate assistance to 213,900 people in 8 sectors between June and October 2017.
