Up to 130,000 vulnerable children nationwide are estimated to be out of school following the catastrophic effects of Hurricane Matthew.

As the death toll in Haiti from Hurricane Mathew continues to mount by the hour, Save the Children has joined the ministry of health, other major humanitarian aid organizations and UN agencies in calling for an expedited response to the disaster, including providing immediate relief supplies to head off a catastrophic outbreak of cholera.

“Our first priority is to ensure that the thousands of children and families who have been badly affected are given the immediate assistance needed,” said Kevin Novotny, Save the Children’s Country Director in Haiti. “This includes keeping children safe and getting them back into school as soon as possible.”
