The DREF is a vital part of the International Federation’s disaster response system and increases the ability of national societies to respond to disasters.

The teams also facilitated active community-based case identification and referral of cholera cases to the health units for treatment and also undertook assessments to determine long- term solutions. <click here for the final financial report, or here to view contact details> URCS volunteers distributing bars of soap to an affected woman and child.
