Situation Overview Tropical Cyclone Maila has weakened to Category 1 and is dissipating into a tropical depression while moving southwest toward southeastern Papua New Guinea. Despite moving away, it continues to generate strong winds, heavy rainfall, and rough seas, causing significant damage, particularly in Western and Choiseul Provinces. Western and Choiseul Provinces have a combined population of approximately 125,000 people (2019 census), including around 56,000 children and 28,700 women of reproductive age, many facing heightened humanitarian risks. A State of Disaster was declared on 10 April, enabling national response under the National Disaster Management Plan (2018). The National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) remains at full activation, coordinating response operations. Initial reports indicate widespread destruction to homes, infrastructure, health facilities, and livelihoods, particularly in Western Province. Impact and Needs Access to affected communities remains constrained by limited communications, adverse weather, and incomplete damage assessments, limiting situational awareness and response planning. Air and maritime logistics are operational; however, information gaps and localized landslides continue to hinder last-mile access. Health: Damage to health facilities, staff housing, water systems, and solar infrastructure is disrupting services. An estimated 3,220 pregnant women, including 400 expected to give birth within a month, face reduced access to care, with at least four secondary-level facilities partially functional. Priority needs include restoring maternal and newborn services, deploying mobile teams, implementing MISP, and providing essential supplies. WASH: Damage to water and sanitation systems is increasing contamination risks. Priority needs include water treatment, safe storage, hygiene items, dignity kits, and kitchen kits. Shelter and infrastructure: Assessments are ongoing. Pre-positioned shelter and NFI stocks are available but limited. Communications remain constrained. Priority needs include assessments, replenishment of stocks, and improved communications access. Displacement: Displacement is reported, with needs for NFIs, coordination, and population movement tracking. Food security and livelihoods: Impacts are reported; partners are preparing for assessments and early recovery. Protection: Risks related to GBV and PSEA are identified, requiring protection mainstreaming across the response. Education: At least 32 schools are impacted in Western and Choiseul, with additional reports from Central and Guadalcanal. Assessments are ongoing. Priority needs include temporary learning spaces, supplies, and WASH support.
