On 27 October 2012, a Preliminary Emergency Appeal was issued seeking 5,453,221 Swiss francs to support the Cuban Red Cross (CRC) to assist 15,000 families (75,000 beneficiaries) for 9 months.
550,000 Swiss francs were allocated from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to support this operation. On 5 November 2012, an Emergency Appeal of the amount of 12,223,402 Swiss francs was issued as a result of the extent of needs reflected in assessments.
As of 15 February, the Emergency Appeal was handed over from the Pan-American Disaster Response unit to the Country Coordination Office for Cuba and the Dominican Republic to ensure better integration of long-term objectives.
On April, the Emergency Appeal was revised to 4,860,041 Swiss francs to accommodate lower distribution costs related to efficient beneficiary targeting (click here for this Revised Emergency Appeal).
The six-month update for the operation was published in August.
