<p>Working through the Pan American Health Organisation and the International Federation
of the Red Cross, DFID has been able to provide medical supplies and health care response
workers and support efforts to re-establish safe drinking water provision, proper
hygiene and sanitation in communities affected by Tropical Storm Erika. This immediate
assistance also included the deployment of Royal Fleet Auxiliary Lyme Bay which provided
significant humanitarian support to the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica
including the provision of 7,170 hot meals, 78,000 litres of water (bottled and containerised),
20 tonnes of dry provisions and treatment of 35 patients ashore. The ship’s company
also removed an estimated 600 tonnes of earth in clearing homes and roads, clearing
and restoring a number of key public buildings and the clearing and opening of the
bridge in Dublanque.</p>
