Source: AKF News Updates/ accessed on Multi-sector Initial Rapid Assessment by PDMA/ NDMA / HCT on Punjab Floods from 17 th Sep to 20 th Sep, 2014 Sector Community Restoration Education Food Security Health Nutrition Protection Shelter and NFIs WASH Key Findings Findings Restoration of access for communities is essential, such as with boats where water remains and road repairs where damages limit or impede physical access. Education facilities were impacted, but to varying degrees. Large numbers of children were reported to be out of school after the flood. Massive impact to agriculture, in particular to the standing crops and fodder for livestock. Standing water poses massive threat to public health, in particular for water borne, vector borne, and hygiene preventable illnesses. Pre-existing vulnerabilities, especially among children under five, breastfed babies, and pregnant and lactating women are potentially exacerbated as a result of this crisis. Some communities reported difficulty accessing assistance and appropriate assistance, and criminal acts were reported by over half of the women. Some homes have been impacted, but the levels of damage vary. The type of housing structure supports a quick recovery, but support with shelter repairs kits is necessary. Access to sufficient quantities of safe drinking water is critical, in particular where water sources may have become contaminated. Previous poor hygiene and sanitation practices poses a risk for the population s well-being, such as the practice of open defecation, and the lack of use of soap for hand hygiene. Key Challenges Physical access to areas due to standing water. Standing water is becoming stagnant, posing a significant health risk to people and animals. The standing water presents and increased risk during the current dengue season. The absence of baseline data to triangulate the MIRA findings. Key recommendations The Government of Pakistan continues to fulfill their role as the primary responsibility to provide protection and assistance to the affected population as citizens of Pakistan. The following actions are recommended: As many of the communities are moving quickly into recovery, it is necessary to understand the impact in some key sectors, such as health, education, agriculture and others, for rehabilitation and recovery. 7

11 A detailed technical assessment of the impact to the agriculture sector to assess loss, prevents market destabilization, and promotes production for subsequent agricultural seasons. Public Health issues must be addressed, including pre-existing poor hygiene and sanitations practices, such as open defecation, which increase health risks during a flood. All measures must be taken to ensure mitigation and prevention measures to continue to preserve life and prevent loss of assets, in the form of resilience building and DRR.

14 AKF Response to NWA TDPs as of Al-Khidmat Foundation (AKF) has started a regular medical relief program for the TDPs of North Waziristan. The program will ensure the arrangements of medical camps at the following locations: Bannu FR Bannu Lakki Marwat FR Lakki DI Khan Kohat. The medical camps are staffed with qualified doctors and paramedical staff. A mobile health clinic and ambulances are also involved in the camps. The patients are checked and provided free of cost medicine. Note that a large number of IDPs are benefiting from the camps. Source: AKF News Updates/ accessed on UNDP Response to NWA TDPs as of Call Centre in Peshawar reaches out to the displaced persons in FATA Due to insecurity and the recent on-going military operation, most of the Temporary Dislocated People s (TDPs) from North Waziristan Agency (NWA) have taken refuge in host communities in the bordering districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province including Bannu, Lakki Marwat, Dera Ismail Khan, Hangu and Karak. Under these circumstances, the TDPs face immense difficulties with limited or no access to basic amenities while being exposed to extreme weather conditions. The worst affected and most vulnerable groups are the women and children who represent more than 70 percent of TDPs. To facilitate the relief process in the region, UNDP has helped set up a call centre facility in Peshawar. This center helps with addressing the queries of TDPs regarding the registration process and access to public services. The six operators at the call center collect data for each call and maintain a log book. The call center shares this data with the Peshawar Provincial Disaster Management Authority and helps keep track of the situation of the displaced persons. The large-scale displacement of populations throughout the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) has led to hundreds of thousands of people being displaced to camps and spontaneous settlements and neighbouring communities exacerbating the ongoing challenges of the communities in FATA and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. The recent influx of the TDPs from NWA, has surpassed initial estimates. UNDP is supporting the FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA) and Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) of KP to effectively manage the TDP response by providing technical assistance and equipment to both Provincial and District authorities in the hosting areas, particularly for information management and monitoring. Direct support will also be given to District Disaster Management Unit in Bannu (currently hosting 737,285 IDPs) and to the District Commissioners Office in Lakki Marwat (currently hosting 22,884 TDPs).

15 Polio Updates from 22 nd to 29 th Sep, 2014 Date Update Source A three-day polio campaign starts from Monday (today) across the province like the rest of the country. A spokesman for the Punjab Health Department said the total number of target children in the province was over 17.5m while the number of union councils (UCs) where campaign was being held was 3,511. He said 39,900 teams would carry out door-to-door vaccination and they would be supervised by over 7,000 area in charges. Special emphasis would be laid on vaccinating the population on the move at permanent transit points of the province, he said in a handout. m/news/ /pol io-drive-starts-today As many as 166 police cases had surfaced, so far, this year as compared to 41 in 2013, however, the number of infected districts had reduced from 21 in 2013 to 15 in 2014, the spokesman said. Quoting one of the causes of the polio spread, he said most of the population displaced by the operation in North Waziristan had moved to the settled areas across the country instead of refugee camps The Peshawar district administration started an anti-polio drive in the provincial metropolis on Saturday 27 th Sep. The polio cell in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said the drive would continue from 8am to 5pm where some 4,200 teams of health workers and volunteers would administer anti-polio drops to children. The government has set a target to vaccinate 754,000 children below five years of age in the 97 union councils of Peshawar district to save them from the fatal disease. Supervisors would monitor the workers to ensure vaccination of the children On 26 th Sep, the district administration had placed a ban on motorcycle riding to avoid any untoward incident during the anti-polio drive. Peshawar deputy commissioner Syed Zaheerul Islam had imposed the ban under Section 144 and warned that those found violating the law would have to face action under Section 188 of Pakistan Penal Code. The menace of polio virus persists in Pakistan with militant groups seeing vaccination campaigns as a cover for espionage. Pakistan carries a huge burden of more than 171 polio cases, most of which have been recorded from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) and KP. Officials fear the pace with which polio cases are on the rise, the current year could surpass the decade s highest (198 cases) recorded in One-day anti-polio vaccination campaign completed in 96 Union Council of Peshawar on Sunday 28 th Sep, with tight security as the authorities claimed that they vaccinated 0.7 million children in district Peshawar against the polio disease. An official of the Prime Minister Polio Monitoring Cell informed the media, that the vaccination campaign was started early in the morning on Sunday in 96 Union Council of Peshawar as the target of the children were 7, 54,383 while 0.7 million children were vaccinated in the campaign against the polio disease. He further said that 825 area in-charge while 4250 teams including teachers, volunteers, Health workers and Lady Health Workers were also participated in the campaign, adding that in Larama Union Council the polio vaccination campaign was completed one day before Sunday. He lamented that most of the Tribal areas people were migrated to Peshawar Particularly the North Waziristan People, adding that those children who migrated to Peshawar were also vaccinated, adding that 500 police contingent were provided security to the polio vaccinators. The World Health Organization (WHO) shows dissatisfaction over the performance of polio cases in Pakistan as this year the Polio cases reach to 166 in Pakistan and there is also fear that more restriction would implement by the WHO on Pakistan. The WHO meeting will be held in JINEVA on 30th September this month and the health official from Pakistan will also participate in this meeting the official of the WHO will ask from Pakistan official about the rising cases of polio in Pakistan. This year 28 cases of polio were reported from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa while 119 polio cases were reported from Federal Administered Tribal Areas, 14 cases were reported from Sindh, 03 were from Baluchistan while 02 cases were reported from Punjab. erpost.com/poliodrive-kicks-off-inpeshawar/ erpost.com/0-7- million-childrenvaccinated-againstpolio-in-96-unioncouncils-2/ 12
