October 2016 – On October 4, Hurricane Matthew, a Category 4 storm, tore through the Caribbean. In Cuba, Matthew was the most powerful hurricane on record to have swept through Guantanamo province causing widespread damage, flooding and displacement with severe impacts on the agricultural and livestock sector. With GAC’s support, the World Food Program (WFP) is helping to meet the food needs of up to 180,000 people in the most affected regions of Guantanamo and Holgiun provinces in Cuba. Project activities include: (1) distribution of food assistance to meet immediate needs; and (2) coordination and logistical support to relief efforts.
