Local Expertise To The Rescue
In July, Hurricane Beryl became the earliest Category 5 Hurricane ever recorded, showing the increasingly dire effects of climate change on the Eastern Caribbean. IsraAID Dominica deployed to support recovery efforts in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
Following major destruction caused by Hurricane Beryl, IsraAID’s longterm presence in Dominica enabled us to rapidly support affected communities in neighboring St. Vincent and the Grenadines, sharing our expertise across the region.
The IsraAID Dominica team distributed essential supplies, including chainsaws, flashlights, batteries, and first-aid kits, to help clear debris and treat minor injuries. We trained 24 Child-Friendly Space facilitators, who established four CFSs, providing 305 children with safe, nurturing environments for play and learning. Each CFS was equipped with educational and recreational materials. IsraAID also conducted self-care workshops for nearly 60 first responders, equipping them to provide psychosocial support for others while managing their own well-being.
