Today @ifrc announced a major expansion of one of the world’s only means of channelling international funds directly to frontline disaster responders.

Since its inception @IFRC_DREF has supported more than 200 million people around the world.

#Humanity

[IFRC-DREF @IFRC_DREF]

Over the past week, the @IFRC_DREF has allocated more than CHF 800,000 for the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in India, Myanmar and Bangladesh to initiate early action in response to #CycloneAmphan. Additional allocations are expected to scale up the response.

[IFRC-DREF @IFRC_DREF]

In addition to the funds released for the Forecast-based Early Action protocol, the DREF released an additional CHF 300k last night for the @BDRCS1 to expand the early action. Same trigger, same response, more safe people!
