KEY FIGURES 172K people affected by heavy rainfall and flooding in Dominican Republic 52 armed attacks in southwestern Colombia since 24 April 11K people displaced across northeastern Brazil due to severe rain and flooding DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: FLOODING Since 8 April, heavy rainfall has triggered widespread flooding and landslides across the country, prompting the activation of the UN Emergency Technical Team (UNETT) to support national monitoring and field missions as needed. The rains have affected approximately 172,000 people, killed 13 people, injured two, and displaced or forced the evacuation of around 92,000 people, according to IFRC. Flooding has damaged more than 6,500 homes, left 23 communities cut off, and taken seven aqueducts out of service, disrupting drinking water access for about 86,500 people. The Emergency Operations Centre continues to deploy resources as conditions evolve, while the response remains within Government capacity. DOMINICA: FLOODING Heavy rainfall from 26 to 28 April triggered flooding and landslides across eastern and northeastern Dominica, including the Kalinago Territory, damaging homes, infrastructure, and essential services. Twelve schools remain closed due to access and safety concerns, with most expected to reopen by 5 May. Blocked roads and unstable terrain continue to limit access in some areas. No casualties have been reported. Authorities have opened emergency shelters and launched road clearance, utility restoration, and multi-sectoral assessments using the Dominica Emergency Coordinated Household Assessment (DECHA) tool. Humanitarian partners are supporting debris removal, education interventions, and specific government requests, with assessments ongoing to identify priority recovery needs. COLOMBIA: VIOLENCE Humanitarian and protection conditions in south-western Colombia are sharply deteriorating due to escalating violence. Since 24 April, reports indicate at least 52 armed attacks attributed to non-state armed groups (NSAG), primarily in Cauca, with additional incidents in Valle del Cauca and Nariño. The violence, including the use of improvised explosive devices and attacks on infrastructure, has killed at least 20 people and injured 48, including children, and is severely restricting mobility and humanitarian access. The Pan-American Highway in Cauca is no longer considered a safe route, disrupting access to food, basic goods, health services, and humanitarian assistance, with ripple effects in connected departments. Humanitarian partners continue to respond to growing needs, while calling for effective protection measures and safe, unimpeded humanitarian access. BRAZIL: FLOODING Heavy rainfall since 30 April has triggered flooding and landslides across northeastern Brazil, with the most severe impacts in Pernambuco and Paraíba. In Pernambuco, at least six people have died and 9,540 have been displaced across 27 municipalities. Paraíba has declared a state of public calamity, with approximately 16,100 people affected and more than 600 displaced across 13 municipalities. Forecasts warn of continued heavy rainfall and elevated flood risk. The National Civil Defense has formally recognized emergency situations in several affected municipalities, enabling federal assistance, while local authorities have declared states of emergency to mobilize support.
