HIGHLIGHTS: 1. Based on available assessments, 2.4 million people are estimated to have been affected by Cyclone Nargis in the 40 most-affected townships (including urban Yangon townships). Of the 2.4 million people affected, an estimated 1,017,000 (42%) people have been reached with some kind of relief support to date, through the combined efforts of MRCS (96,000), UN and INGOs (793,000), and local NGOs and civil society groups (128,000). However, the majority of this assistance has been delivered to people living in Yangon Division. Of the estimated 2 million people in the 15 worst-affected townships, it is estimated that only 470,000 (23%) have been reached.... 2. Today, the Humanitarian Country Team (IASC) has put in place a mechanism whereby movements of relief goods to the affected areas are prioritized based on need. Clusters have examined the needs for supplies by sector in each township, so that movement of supplies through the logistics cluster can be prioritized based on assessments. This will be refined and adjusted according to the progression of the response.... 3. A rapid assessments technical working group set up by the clusters has agreed on a draft common multi-sector rapid assessment tool to identify priority emergency needs at the Village Tract level, and provide essential baseline data to inform decision making on how best to respond. This follows the consolidation of all available assessments undertaken since the cyclone and provides a common, comprehensive approach to those areas where information is lacking. The clusters themselves will continue to plan and carry out their own specific cluster assessments.... 4. A seventh team of ASEAN national medical experts, this time from the Philippines, has been mobilized to support the national relief response in Myanmar.
