Haiti, March 2009. The 2008 hurricane season caused much damage across the Caribbean. £7.5m of UK government aid went to relieve hardship in Haiti, Turks and Caicos, and Cuba. The aid was delivered through the Red Cross, the UN and non-governmental organisations who work in the region. Dfid supported agricultural inputs to farmers, building projects to mitigate the effects of future hurricanes and cash grants to individuals whose livelihoods were damaged, as well as clean drinking water, shelter and sanitation designed to prevent the spread of disease.
