Earthquake |
Guatemala |
An earthquake registering 6.4 on the Richter scale rocked western Guatemala on 7 July 2014. Its epicenter was located 15 kilometers northwest of San Marcos, near the Mexican border, and the earthquake was felt in 12 departments in the western areas of the country, Mexico and El Salvador.
According to preliminary information provided by the National Disaster Reduction Commission (CONRED), to date there are 2,177 dwellings presenting slight damage, 4,761 with moderate damage and 2,895 with severe damage; 274 people were injured and one is reported dead, and there are an estimated 9,830 homeless people and 84,679 affected. The information is being collected by local authorities and assessment teams, so the numbers will continue to vary as the damage assessments are carried out and structural assessments of homes continue in various communities to determine the degree of affectation in the western departments. In the department of San Marcos, the Guatemalan Red Cross is conducting assessments that are more specific.
Given this situation, the government declared a state of public disaster for 30 days for the departments of San Marcos, Quetzaltenango, Totonicapán, Huehuetenango, Retalhuleu, Suchitepéquez and Sololá, due to damages caused by the earthquake. The purpose of declaring a state of public disaster is to restore infrastructure and essential services, and avoid greater consequences, as well as to allow taking any action necessary, wherever possible, to avoid or mitigate the negative effects and ensure the lives, integrity and safety of the affected population and safeguard their assets.

Complex Emergency |
Israel |
As of 7 July 2014 there has been a significant escalation of hostilities in the Gaza Strip and southern Israel as a result of the gradual collapse of the Egyptian-brokered ceasefire understanding reached in November 2012. Israeli media reports indicate that the operation will be gradually scaled up, and may include ground operations. This has been described to be the worst unrest since an eight-day war in 2012.
So far, more than 180 people have been killed and more than 1,600 wounded between West Bank and Gaza, according to the figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
Reportedly more than 1,000 rockets were launched from Gaza in the direction of the Israeli territories. The number of dead and wounded in these territories has not been as big as the losses in the occupied territories, but the risks of increasing the casualties continue to be very high.
The regrettable political and military developments in this part of the world which continue to pose direct threat to the thousand of civilians at both sides have led to the substantial deterioration of the emergency humanitarian situation with the direct consequences for the civil population both in the occupied territories and in Israel.
Both Magen David Adom in Israel and Palestine Red Crescent have launched emergency response operations through mobilizing their human and material resources, drawing on their reserves. However, the scale and scope of the current humanitarian needs has been exceeding the available capacities of both national societies.

Flood |
Paraguay |
The intense rains in Paraguay, which started in March 2014, have been unusually intense for the season, leading to severe floods in rural communities and urban areas. The effects have continued to be felt with the flooding from the rapidly rising Paraná river and Paraguay river. To date, 39,000 families (195,000 people) from five departments in the country have been affected by the flooding and require humanitarian support.
The most recent rains registered in the upper basin of the Iguazú river have led to the overflowing of this riverbed and the subsequent increase of water levels in the Paraná river. This has led to the increase in the amount of water in the reservoir of the Itaipú and Yacyreta dams, which has required both dams to increase their water flow which in some cases has reached between 22,000 m?/s and 43,000 m?/s. As a consequence, the impact has been extreme for the riverside populations located in Alto Paraná, Misiones and Ñeembucú. |
