The United Nations says as many as 37 million people could be affected by Hurricane Irma, Associated Press reports:
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the UN had deployed a humanitarian team to work with the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency to help hurricane victims, and additional teams are on standby.
Dujarric told reporters at UN headquarters in New York on Wednesday that UN officials in Haiti are supporting the government and have deployed staff to the country’s northern departments, which are likely to be impacted.
He said UN peacekeepers, who are wrapping up their long-term mission there, have deployed two units and some engineers to the coastal city of Gonaives to be ready to open the main roads to the north, northeast and northwest.
Dujarric said UN military and police officers are also ready to be deployed to support the Haitian national police.
