On 6th to the 8th December 2019, the influence of cyclone affected many areas alongside the coast and spreading further to inland rural and urban settlements as well as pastoral areas in Puntland. The strong winds have led to destruction of property, livelihoods, health facilities, weak structures, some schools, infrastructures including communication facilities, roads, buildings, fishing gears and boats as well as disrupting ordinary activities. Guryasamo and SHiFAT have planned to respond to the current emergency situation at Eyl and Dangorayo district in Nugaal region where Strong winds associated with the storm caused bad health impacts including diseases outbreak and bad health outcome deteriorations.
