Humanitarian Response Plan Identification of the Most Urgent Life-Saving Projects

1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF EXERCISE As of 25 March 2010, the 2010 Yemen Humanitarian Response Plan (YHRP) has only been funded at 20% (US$135 million). Taking into account the low funding levels, the uneven spread of funding across the clusters, the current evolution of the crisis in the north of the country, and the higher-than-expected caseload needing assistance, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) has identified the most urgent, life- saving projects in the YHRP, and the key elements within those projects that address immediate needs of vulnerable groups. These projects are those which benefit IDPs, refugees, and host populations, and the key elements form the financial requirements for the next four months (March through June 2010).

Projects identified as having the most life-saving needs are those with activities vital to providing IDPs and host communities with emergency shelter, food, NFIs, health and WASH interventions. Provision of food and nutrition assistance to refugees is also a priority. If the immediate needs identified remain unfunded, key life-saving activities will have to be suspended soon, which will worsen the situation of large numbers of beneficiaries. In this exercise, the priority is given to IDPs currently accessible to humanitarian agencies; needs of IDPs trapped in conflict areas can only be prioritized when access is achieved and needs assessments undertaken.

The urgent needs highlighted herein are by no means an exhaustive list of the humanitarian needs in the country. This document is a follow-up and update to the YHRP, which remains the common plan and implementation framework to address humanitarian needs throughout Yemen in 2010. As such, it is directly related to the YHRP’s first strategic priority, to ‘provide life- and livelihood-saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable populations affected by man-made and natural disasters.’ The HCT will review the YHRP in its entirety at the end of May for the Mid-Year Review in order to reflect the evolving situation and to present a more complete and updated strategic overview of needs, responses and gaps to the end of 2010.

2. CONTEXT

2.1 CHANGES IN THE CONTEXT Despite the announcement of a ceasefire between the Government of Yemen and the Houthis on 11 February, humanitarian needs remain acute and the operating environment remains challenging. Indications from the displaced population suggest that large-scale return is not imminent. Therefore, the vast majority of IDPs remain in their areas of displacement, and there remains an urgent need to continue providing them with life-saving assistance and access to basic services until conditions in Sa’ada and other war-affected areas are conducive for a voluntary and sustainable return.

Despite the ceasefire, access for humanitarian actors in Sa’ada Governorate remains limited to Sa’ada city and the areas immediately surrounding it, and to Al-Mandaba in the of northern Sa’ada Governorate at the Saudi-Yemeni border. Humanitarian actors are able to access IDPs throughout as well as in all areas of Amran Governorate, except in Harf Sufyan District, where fighting was taking place. Access to Al-Jawf is severely limited due to longstanding tribal insecurity. Around 10,000 IDPs currently in the Governorate have been assisted with food and other essential assistance. However no access is permitted to Kharab Al-Marashi and Bart Al-Anan Districts, where large concentrations of IDPs have been reported.

The recent ceasefire will potentially open up areas that have been inaccessible due to the fighting, and should enable humanitarian assistance to reach populations that have been cut off from essential services since the outbreak of the sixth round of fighting in August 2009. Humanitarian actors in Yemen have prepared an operational plan to assist the populations in urgent need of assistance in the most affected districts in Sa’ada, including a coherent strategy to access all areas where fighting took place. In the medium term, humanitarian partners will work with the Government and the IDP population to identify long-term solutions in line with the principles of safety, dignity and voluntary and informed decision making by the beneficiaries.

2.2 HUMANITARIAN ACHIEVEMENTS TO DATE Of the 255,000 registered IDPs, almost 235,000 are being provided with food and other essential services regularly. In spite of the challenging operating context, the agencies and sectors represented here have been successful in meeting the priority needs of the majority of the displaced. By the end of 2009 the Flash Appeal that had been launched in September was funded at 88%, enabling humanitarian actors to provide life-saving assistance to some 235,000 IDPs, and allowing the provision of assistance planned in the YHRP to start in 2010 though carry-over funding. Just under 255,000 IDPs have now been registered by the Government of Yemen with the support of the Protection Cluster. Only 10% of the displaced population (25,817 people) are living in camps, while the remaining 90% are living in host communities or scattered locations.

Coordination structures to support the humanitarian activities have been set up under the leadership of the Humanitarian Coordinator, in line with the cluster system and in partnership with the Government of Yemen. There is a clear division of labour among agencies serving IDPs, both in camps and outside them.

2.2.1 Division of labour with humanitarian agencies not participating in the YHRP or in the cluster approach The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), in cooperation with the Yemen Red Crescent Society (YRCS), is covering the humanitarian assistance needs (such as the provision of food, water, shelter and other essential items, and medical aid) of IDPs in parts of Sa’ada and Amran Governorates, particularly in those areas which other humanitarian actors are currently unable to access. ICRC/YRCS provides assistance to conflict-affected people in and around Sa’ada city, in Al- Mandaba (northern Sa’ada Governorate) and in Wadi Khaiwan (northern Amran Governorate). For more information about ICRC activities please see their website, www.icrc.org.

MSF-Spain is providing nutrition services in all three camps in Al-Mazrak, Hajjah Governorate. They have also built a health clinic outside Al-Mazrak III to provide primary healthcare services to IDPs living in the camps, to IDPs in scattered areas around the camps, and to host communities. MSF- France has resumed activities in Talh Hospital (Sa’ada Governorate) since the announcement of the ceasefire. It also continues its activities in two other hospitals in Sa’ada town, as well as running a health facility to treat IDPs in Al-Mandaba, northern Sa’ada Governorate. In Amran Governorate MSF- France undertakes activities in two health facilities.

ICRC and MSF work in a collaborative manner, regularly exchanging information with the other humanitarian actors reflected in this paper, whilst operating independently of the UN-coordinated humanitarian effort. The funding requirements for these operations are not reflected herein.

As a result of late or low levels of funding, combined with delayed arrival of international shipments, pipeline breaks are already occurring. In the case of food assistance, this has led to food rations for beneficiaries being reduced. This late or low funding is happening at the same time that the rapidly increasing caseload has exacerbated funding shortfalls. Life-saving measures will be seriously jeopardised without renewed efforts by donors to fund the priority activities in the YHRP. Unless funding levels increase, some organisations will be obliged to curtail or suspend assistance currently provided, and improved access will not enable humanitarian actors to scale up their operations in order to provide much-needed assistance to populations formerly trapped by the fighting.

To boost the humanitarian response, the Emergency Relief Coordinator allocated $7 million from the under-funded allocation window of the Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to Yemen in March 2010. However, this is far from adequate to meet the many pressing humanitarian needs.

Carry-over from 2009, amounting to some $14 million, has been important in sustaining humanitarian operations, particularly in the Food and Agriculture Cluster. However, most agencies have had to borrow money from their headquarter-managed funds to enable them to provide life-saving services. Not only will these loans have to be repaid but, if funding is not quickly made available, these activities will not be able to continue. (Information is provided in Section 3 below concerning the response to date by cluster, as well as the requirements needed to continue life-saving activities in the coming months until June 2010.)

2.3 CRITERIA AND METHODOLOGY FOR THIS EXERCISE This document identifies the immediate needs of the key projects which, if they remain unfunded in the short term, will force the suspension of key life-saving activities and worsen the situation of large numbers of beneficiaries.

Definition of most urgent life-saving projects: In order to be considered a ‘Most Urgent Life-Saving’ project in this document, projects must have activities that remedy, mitigate or avert direct loss of life, physical harm or threats to a population within a short time-span. Such projects were subjected to two further criteria: 1. Has the project started and is it ongoing? 2. If the project is not funded, does it have an immediate impact on saving lives?2

2 Priority is given to projects that have already started. However, some projects that have not yet started are included, such as projects which are becoming more critical now than they were two months ago – for example, a project for mine awareness.

Target population and priority sectors For the purpose of this exercise, the Humanitarian Country Team decided that the main focus is on the needs of the IDPs and host communities in areas currently accessible to humanitarian agencies. This excludes most of the populations within Sa’ada Governorate where humanitarian actors are still unable to operate. Once access in Governorate becomes possible, the country team will undertake needs assessments and consequently plan targeted humanitarian interventions.

In addition, based on existing need assessments and analysis, the team agreed to put priority on emergency shelter, food, NFIs, health and WASH interventions. Immediate needs for refugees and the most severely malnourished population have also been identified as life-saving priorities – these two sectors have been factored in this exercise. Based on the above-mentioned prioritization criteria, this exercise does not include the activities carried out by the Education and Early Recovery clusters.

3. NEEDS ANALYSIS AND PRIORITY NEEDS BY CLUSTER

3.1 Food and Agriculture IDPs • As of 28 February, since the outbreak of the sixth round of fighting in August 2009, nearly 235,000 displaced people have been reached with some 11,600MT of food. This figure surpasses the planning figure of 200,000 people from the YHRP. • Distribution of food assistance is ongoing in the five conflict-affected governorates of Hajjah, Amran, Sa’ada, Al-Jawf and Sana’a. Monthly food rations consisting of wheat flour, pulses, oil, salt, sugar, and high-energy biscuits are being provided. • Late and limited funding has already led to pipeline breaks, and food rations for beneficiaries have already had to be reduced. The rapidly increasing caseload has exacerbated these shortfalls, as the operation is undergoing an expansion to absorb the added beneficiaries. • Livestock is the last remaining asset of IDPs: it is important to save livestock to maintain livelihoods and food security.

Refugees • The total planning figure for food distribution in 2010 is around 100,000 refugees, including 19,000 camp residents and 75,000 new arrivals. • Due to lack of funding, rations for refugees have already had to be reduced. During March, only 66% of the general food distribution requirements can be met, and from April, general food distribution will have to be suspended to enable targeted supplementary feeding programmes to continue until June for 4,000 moderately malnourished refugees in Kharaz and Basateen.

In order to continue the provision of food assistance to IDPs and refugees until the end of June 2010, to preserve IDP livestock, and to enable supplementary feeding programmes, the Food and Agriculture Cluster urgently requires $6,485,700.

3.2 Nutrition • Despite the current level of funding and operational constraints, IDP children under five have so far received blanket nutrition support alongside their monthly food rations. • In Hajjah Governorate, comprehensive screening of IDP children for malnutrition has taken place in the Al-Mazrak camps, where a therapeutic feeding centre and outpatient therapeutic centres are operating to treat IDP children with severe acute malnutrition in the camps and surrounding areas. Per assessments, global acute malnutrition in the camps is as high as 21%. • A nutrition survey is underway in Amran Governorate to measure the prevalence of acute malnutrition among children under five, among IDPs as well as host communities. • There is a need to improve data collection for the exact number of malnourished children and monitoring of the existing nutrition programmes in all conflict-affected governorates. • Malnutrition is a severe problem throughout Yemen, with an estimated 134,400 children in need of treatment for acute malnutrition. Due to a lack of funding, the capacity of the nutrition cluster to address this problem is severely limited. Already in 2010, 30% of beneficiaries have been deprived of nutrition support.

If no funding is received, 70% of targeted children under five will be deprived of nutrition support as of the beginning of May. To continue the vital provision of nutrition support until the end of June, the Nutrition Cluster urgently requires $2,585,000.

4 YEMEN HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE PLAN – IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST URGENT LIFE-SAVING PROJECTS

3.3 Health • The health cluster currently provides primary healthcare services through six mobile health units to scattered populations, and through three fixed health clinics. • Current stocks of medicine and supplies are only enough to assist conflict-affected populations until mid-March. Furthermore, there is no funding available to expand current activities or to enable more partners to assist in the provision of health services, which are vastly inadequate to cover all conflict-affected people. • Reproductive health services are being provided to women and girls. However, these services need to be strengthened, particularly by increasing the availability of emergency obstetric care. • Reported mortality in IDP camps has been kept under emergency thresholds. However, this should not lead to complacency; a disease surveillance system is urgently required.

In order to address these urgent needs until the end of June, the Health Cluster urgently requires $4,047,000.

3.4 Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) • The WASH Cluster is operating in all camps in accordance with SPHERE standards. Approximately 30,000 IDPs in Hajjah and Amran Governorates are served with an average of 20 litres of safe drinking water per person per day. • Over 3,500 latrines have been constructed in the three camps in Hajjah Governorate, and in Khaiwan Camp in Amran Governorate. Special attention has been paid to the needs of women and girls in the camps, through the construction of family latrines, which are rehabilitated and maintained on a daily basis. Hygiene kits have been distributed to approximately 50,000 individuals throughout the conflict-affected areas (both inside and outside the camps). Consumable hygiene items are replenished regularly. • The main gap in the provision of water remains in reaching displaced people outside the camps, many of whom are difficult to reach and do not have a safe drinking water supply. To address this, cluster members are planning to distribute water filters to target 7,000 households (approximately 50,000 individuals) in an effort to ensure that water collected from natural sources is safe for drinking.

Overall in 2010, due to lack of funding, 85,000 conflict-affected people will not receive safe drinking water, proper sanitation, hygiene kits or other emergency assistance. At current funding levels, the delivery of safe drinking water to 35,000 IDPs is only secured until the end of May. Furthermore, procurement and distribution of hygiene kits will also be suspended after May. In order to sustain current levels of WASH services in camps and to scattered populations until the end of June, the Cluster urgently requires $2,459,330.

3.5 Shelter / NFI / Camp Coordination & Camp Management (CCCM) • The cluster is distributing NFIs to IDPs in all conflict-affected governorates, both inside and outside the camps. Items distributed include mattresses, blankets, plastic sheets and kitchen sets. • Al-Mazrak Camps I and II are full and tents have been provided for all families. Relocation to Al-Mazrak III is ongoing, and tents are provided to IDP families on arrival. A fourth camp is currently under construction. The cluster has also provided plastic sheets to scattered IDPs outside the camps, while assessing alternative shelter solutions for, such as the building of shelters with traditional building materials.

In order to resume the distribution of life-saving NFIs and to continue the provision of shelter to IDPs throughout the conflict-affected areas until the end of June, the Cluster urgently requires $9,100,000.

3.6 Protection • Although most of the activities under the Protection Cluster are not directly life-saving in and of themselves, they contribute to the provision of life-saving activities by determining the exact needs of the IDP population through registration and profiling activities. • Furthermore, this cluster’s activities help to protect IDPs from harm, and even death, by raising awareness of potential dangers, such as through mine risk education and through the

5 YEMEN HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE PLAN – IDENTIFICATION OF THE MOST URGENT LIFE-SAVING PROJECTS

identification of individual protection cases, including victims of sexual violence and child recruitment, and referring them to the relevant agencies. • The Child Protection sub-cluster is operating in Hajjah, Amran and Sa’ada, offering community based psycho-social support interventions to children and families, and identification and referral of vulnerable children and families, such as reporting on grave child rights violation. • The protection cluster has provided technical and financial support to the Government for registration, including the management of a national consolidated registration database to unify the registration process across the conflict-affected governorates and to avoid duplications.

In order to address these needs until the end of June, the Protection Cluster urgently requires $2,883,533.

3.7 Multi-sector (refugee response) • Since the beginning of 2010 until 27th February, 4,067 new arrivals have landed in Yemen, mostly along the shoreline. UNHCR through its implementing partners has supported the distribution of NFIs and water, provided transport for refugees, and facilitated registration procedures together with the Government counterpart. • A total of 40,297 Somali refugees have been registered so far at the Government registration centre in Sana’a (23,094), Basateen (12,090) and Kharaz camp (4 303). • UNHCR has supported essential protection trainings for Government authorities, and continues to provide basic services to refugees in the Kharaz camp and to vulnerable refugees in urban areas (Sana’a and Basateen) as well as protection monitoring including detention cases. • Out of the total $3.3 million received to date, $664,490 is earmarked by donors for self-reliance projects.

In order to address these urgent needs and to continue life-saving activities until the end of June for 100,000 refugees, the Multi-Sector (refugee response) programmes urgently require $5,700,000.

NOTE: An Emergency Response Fund (ERF) is currently being established which will help to channel funding fast and flexibly to initiate life-saving humanitarian actions in response to any sudden changes in context or unforeseen emergency needs.
