DISASTER RELIEF EMERGENCY FUND (DREF) 6 February 2007 The Federation’s mission is to improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity. It is the world’s largest humanitarian organization and its millions of volunteers are active in 185 countries. For more information: www.ifrc.org

In Brief

Appeal No. MAA000010; Revised on 20 December 2006 Programme Update no. 2; Period covered: 1 July to 31 December 2006; Revised appeal target for 2007: CHF 20,000,000 (USD 16 million or EUR 12 million); Appeal coverage: 22.4%; Outstanding needs: CHF 13,894,176 (USD 11.3 million or EUR 8.6 million).

(Click here to go directly to the attached contributions list which is also available on the website). (Click here to go directly to the attached list of allocations made from the DREF). Programme summary: A total of CHF 11,062,994 was allocated from the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) in 2006 through 101 separate allocations. This represents an increase of 5.5 per cent over 2005. The number and amount of grants for minor emergencies which are not automatically reimbursed increased five per cent over 2005, which reflects the International Federation’s objective to ensure that national Red Cross and Red Crescent societies have sufficient funds available to respond to emergencies whatever the size. The amount and number of allocations during the second half of 2006 was similar to those made in the first six months with a total of 50 allocations.

Support from donors in the second half of 2006 has allowed the International Federation to maintain a balance of CHF 7.4 million in the fund at the end of the year. Following a review of the DREF, a decision was taken to raise the target of the fund in line with the International Federation’s strategy of scaling up disaster response capacity. It will raise the target from CHF 10 million to CHF 25 million over three years and has consequently revised the appeal for 2007 from CHF 6.5 million to CHF 20 million. This appeal includes a provision of CHF 7.4 million to cover a forecasted increase in non-reimbursable minor emergency grants in order to bring the fund target up to CHF 20 million at the end of 2007.

Contributions to the appeal in 2006 amounted to CHF 6,105,824, and reimbursement of allocations amounted to CHF 3,880,621. The International Federation therefore calls for continued support to the appeal to allow its members to respond to all disasters in their countries as necessary.

This programme is aligned with the International Federation's Global Agenda, which sets out four broad goals to meet the Federation's mission to "improve the lives of vulnerable people by mobilizing the power of humanity". These goals include:

Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF); Appeal No. MAA00010; Programme Update no 2. 2

Operational developments

During the second half of 2006 the allocations made from DREF were a reflection of the major disaster trends seen over the period. The widespread drought in East Africa experienced at the beginning of 2006 was followed by devastating floods, with the effects and damage compounded by the drought situation, an aggravation of health problems and disease due to malnutrition and an increase in waterborne diseases. As in 2005 and the first half of 2006, over half the DREF allocations were made for the Africa region. There were fewer hurricanes in the Americas region during 2006, while the Asia Pacific region suffered from a series of damaging for which emergency appeals were launched.

2006 - Types of Disaster Operations funded by DREF

2% 1% 6% 2% 2% Floods and linked disasters 5% Cyclones and storms 38% 5% Drought Epidemics and health hazards Population Movement Earthquakes Volcanic eruptions Severe winter weather Explosions or bombings 24% Preparedness or contingency planning Other 9% 6%

The amount of grants made for minor emergencies continued to increase both in number and amount, as the following graph illustrates. The types of disaster operation supported by DREF continue to be predominately in response to floods and storms and to epidemics or health hazards. The recurrence of cyclones in the Americas and Asia, of alternating drought and floods as well as epidemics and population movements in Africa, led the International Federation to encourage contingency planning and response preparedness in these areas, funded in two cases by DREF allocations.

The World Disasters Report 2006, launched in December, focused on neglected crises and on the huge disparities in humanitarian aid between the high-profile disasters such as the Asian tsunami and the many under-funded, but no less deadly disasters that go unnoticed by donors. The DREF is widely used to meet the needs of people affected by low profile or silent disasters, for which funding is not always available. The decision to increase the target level of the DREF underlines the International Federation’s determination to ensure the national societies are not restricted in responding to disasters because of lack of funding.

Goal: National societies benefit from sufficient and immediate funding to allow them to save lives and meet the immediate needs of those affected by disasters in a rapid and effective manner.

Overall programme objective 2006-2007: All national societies are aware of the DREF, request funds when necessary to carry out their mandate of bringing rapid disaster response and the DREF is able to respond to all their requests.

Expected results: People affected by large and small scale disasters receive timely assistance from national societies, funded where required by the DREF.

Africa During the reporting period from 1 July to 31 December 2006, a total of 28 allocations were made for Africa for CHF 3,104,395 (55 allocations for a total of CHF 5,871,607 in 2006); five allocations were made for emergency appeals (CHF 1,269,015) and 23 for minor emergencies (CHF 1,835,380).

In response to serious flooding that affected large areas in east and central Africa in the second half of the year, following the drought in the same regions in early 2006, several countries (Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Uganda and Chad) requested multiple DREF allocations for drought, floods and related health problems in the same year.

The most serious flooding occurred in Ethiopia, Congo and Kenya. A total of CHF 750,000 was allocated from DREF to the Kenya Red Cross Society in November as start up funds for the emergency operation. The emergency appeal was launched on 17 November and revised on 7 December to over CHF 26 million to bring assistance to 563,000 beneficiaries during four months. Details of this operation can be found on the public website at: http://www.ifrc.org/cgi/pdf_appeals.pl?06/MDRKE00302.pdf

Two DREF allocations for a total of CHF 294,000 were made for the Ethiopia floods operation in August, for which an emergency appeal was launched for CHF 1 million, revised to over CHF 5 million in September. Simultaneously, an outbreak of acute watery diarrhoea in the Oromiya region of southern Ethiopia was registered. A DREF minor emergency allocation of CHF 56,000 was made to the Ethiopian Red Cross to allow it to increase community awareness of the outbreak and environmental sanitation, and to improve access to safe household water for over 18,000 people in the most affected communities. Operational updates can be found on the International Federation’s public website: http://www.ifrc.org/where/country/cn6.asp?countryid=65

Acute watery diarrhoea and cholera are waterborne diseases connected with poor hygiene. Inadequate environmental sanitation and absence of latrines aggravate the situation. Health indicators show poor coverage of basic health, maternal and child health services as well as other facilities in most countries in Africa, making the affected communities vulnerable to any kind of health disasters or emergencies. This was the case in Ethiopia, but also in Chad, where two DREF minor emergency allocations (CHF 149,805 and CHF 15,000) were made to respond to flooding and an outbreak of cholera in the second half of 2006. Not only the rainy season, but also the country’s poor settlement planning and health indicators explain the recurrence of diseases such as cholera, meningitis, hepatitis and acute breathing infections. Access to sources of potable water and adequate sanitation facilities is limited to three out of ten people.

The effectiveness of the hygiene and environmental sensitization campaign carried out by the Red Cross of Chad (RCC) with the ministry of health (MoH) was assessed at the end of the programme for lessons learned. Cholera prevention and the capacity of RCC regional branch in Hadjer Lamis, where the outbreak was most serious, were upgraded. Many community members were highly impressed by the Red Cross volunteers’ capacity and requested community first aid training so as to be able to offer similar support to other community members in future. Populations that were using contaminated water sources are now using boiled and chlorinated water for domestic needs. Networking with the MoH and other partners such as Médecins Sans Frontières also improved and played a big part in achieving the RCC’s expected results. However, the society’s cholera alert mechanism needs revision and updating as well as a comprehensive cholera preparedness plan in order to improve its efficiency and to maximize the impact of future Red Cross of Chad interventions before the 2007 rainy season.

An extended drought has the effect of reducing the presence of mosquitoes and therefore the incidence of malaria, but at the same time it reduces people’s natural immunity to the disease. In the Kagera region of north-west Tanzania, with the return of rains and flooding a reoccurrence of malaria cases was noted in July, with increase mortality rates especially among children under five. A DREF allocation of CHF 42,500 allowed the Tanzania Red Cross Society (TRCS) to assist the ministry of health in providing additional mattresses and tents to hospitals and health centres, insecticide-treated nets for households with children under five in the most affected area and the training and orientation of volunteers to carry out community mobilization and education on malaria prevention, recognizing symptoms and treatment. In the Kigoma region, TRCS also carried out relief operations for those affected by heavy flooding and again used DREF allocations (CHF 73,470) to provide shelter and repair materials and mosquito nets, and to mobilize volunteers for relief distributions and health awareness programmes.

The regional delegation of the International Federation for West and Central Africa in Dakar has been promoting contingency planning among national societies in the region for population movements, which are recurrent due to the widespread political instability. A DREF allocation of CHF 45,000 was made to the Gambia Red Cross Society (GRCS) in September to allow them to provide assistance to 5,600 refugees from the Casamance region of Senegal. The GRCS deployed a team to support the local branch overwhelmed with a large number of people in need of assistance and to carry out a rapid assessment on the humanitarian needs. Red Cross first aid teams provided the necessary assistance and GRCS volunteers helped the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) with the registration of refugees and, together with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), others worked on tracing and assessment.

In November, a CHF 35,000 allocation was made to the Cameroon Red Cross Society (CRCS) to allow it to build operational capacities of the national society divisional committees in the far north and eastern provinces of the country faced with population movements from Chad and the Central African Republic. The DREF allocation allowed the CRCS to carry out training of volunteers, facilitated by UNHCR.

Having recognized the value of the contingency planning process carried out by national societies for population movements, the regional delegation in Dakar facilitated a similar planning process with national societies for health emergencies and epidemics, including Avian Influenza. This planning will certainly increase the preparedness of the national societies to act in the case of outbreaks of infectious diseases and reduce their incidence and impact, as well as increasing the capacity and rapidity of the national society to respond. Given the recurrence of epidemics in Africa, the International Federation will encourage other regions in Africa to carry out similar contingency planning. Similarly, the success of national malaria and measles programmes in reducing incidence of disease, as in Kenya for example, will encourage the International Federation to seek funding for other national level interventions.

Americas During the reporting period from 1 July to 31 December 2006, nine allocations were made for the Americas region for a total of CHF 607,431. Two allocations were for emergency appeals for a total of CHF 165,000 and seven allocations for minor emergencies for a total of CHF 442,431.

Following two years during which there were a record number of hurricanes in the Americas region (2004 and 2005), the 2006 season was comparatively quiet and the number of operations due to flooding or hurricanes was lower than during the same period last year. However, storms and heavy flooding affected several countries where the respective national societies assisted people affected with the support of DREF allocations.

In July, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding in Chile with seven of the 13 regions affected. A red alert was declared in two regions and the VIII Region was declared a “disaster zone” by the nation’s president. The impact of the floods on those affected was worsened by very cold weather that followed and access to some of the Andean communities affected was made difficult by heavy snowfall. A DREF allocation of CHF 130,000 was made to cover the cost of shipping 2,000 hygiene kits from the Pan American Disaster Response Unit (PADRU) in Panama to the Chilean Red Cross, and the local procurement of 800 food parcels which were distributed with other relief items to nearly 2,500 families in four of the most affected regions.

In Haiti, the passage of tropical storm “Ernesto” on 26-27 August 2006 affected the coastal areas of Sud and Grande Anse, with lesser damage in the west of the country. Following tropical storm “Chris” one month earlier, and given Haiti’s vulnerability to natural disasters and the precarious situation of 90 per cent of the population, the storm left behind it many affected families. A DREF allocation of CHF 90,000 was released to allow the Haitian National Red Cross Society (HNRCS) to purchase family kits for 600 families and items for basic sanitation for distribution to a further 3,000 of the most affected families. In November, further heavy rain affected many of the same areas and the HNRCS launched an emergency appeal to support assistance to 3,500 families. A DREF allocation of CHF 80,000 at the onset of the emergency allowed the HNRCS to replace pre-positioned relief stocks that it distributed to a total of 309 families (1,545 persons) from the North-Western, Port-de-Paix and surrounding areas, to procure cleaning materials and carry out hygiene promotion in affected communities.

Two DREF allocations of a total of CHF 137,430 were also made to the Panama Red Cross in November when heavy rain continued for several weeks and caused extensive flooding and the evacuation of over 300 families to temporary shelters. As well as distribution of relief items to affected families the DREF supported the national society in the training of volunteers to carry out hygiene and sanitation awareness campaigns among the affected population. The Jamaican Red Cross also requested a DREF allocation of CHF 25,000 to allow it to assist 400 families among the most affected by flooding at the end of November.

The Tungurhua Volcano in Ecuador was in an eruptive state throughout 2006. When it erupted violently in July the Ecuadorian Red Cross (ERC) activated its emergency plan of action in response and mobilized 240 volunteers in the area. A DREF allocation of CHF 85,000 was made to support 537 families affected by the ash fall. On 16 August a further violent eruption drove 15,000 people from their homes and the ERC launched an emergency appeal to allow them to assist 5,475 beneficiaries for five months. This assistance is on-going as many families have not been able to return to their homes.

Asia Pacific During the reporting period from 1 July to 31 December 2006, eight allocations were made for the Asia Pacific region for a total of CHF 818,000. Five allocations were for emergency appeals for a total of CHF 613,000 and three allocations for minor emergencies for a total of CHF 205,000.

From March 2006, when the first tropical storm was registered in the western Pacific, to mid-December 2006 a total of 30 tropical storms were noted and 14 of these were classified as typhoons or super typhoons. , the and Vietnam were the countries most affected by the storms and the five DREF allocations to emergency appeals during this period were for these countries.

The number of people affected by storm and flood-related damage in China was even higher in 2006 than in 1998 when damage because of flooding reached a record level. Between January and September 2006, 13.2 million people were evacuated and relocated following numerous flood-related incidents. Over the period from May to October Guangong province was struck by nine typhoons, including Bilis on 14 July, resulting in the evacuation of millions of people. Only ten days after had hit , , , , and Jiangxi, , packing winds of up to 120 kilometres per hour struck Jinjiang city of southeast China’s Fujian province on 25 July. Damage and disruptions related to Kaemi extended into Anhui, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and Guangdong provinces, resulting in the evacuation of a total of 668,000 people. On 21 July, the International Federation released a DREF allocation of CHF 213,000 to support the flood relief activities of the Red Cross Society of China (RCSC) in Hunan province with rice (300 metric tons), blankets (10,000 pieces) and water purification materials. On 2 August 2006 an emergency appeal was launched for CHF 5.9 million to support the relief distributions of the RCSC and to assist in the reconstruction of homes of 1,200 of the most vulnerable displaced families in Hunan, Jiangxi and Guangxi provinces. Operational updates are available on the public website: http://www.ifrc.org/where/country/cn6.asp?iYear=1&xFlag=2&countryid=47&view=1

The Philippines was also hit by a series of deadly and destructive typhoons over a ten-week period from 25 September to 10 December 2006, which affected 62 of the country’s 79 provinces. The Philippines National Red Cross (PNRC) supported by the Federation, responded to this succession of disasters but the magnitude of the typhoons’ impact overwhelmed local and national resources. Typhoons are not uncommon in the Philippines and most of the communities affected by the storms are accustomed to them, but the scale and frequency of this year’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF); Appeal No. MAA00010; Programme Update no 2. 8

storms led to over 2,700 deaths and ten of thousands people made homeless and left over three million people struggling to recover. A first DREF allocation of CHF 100,000 was made in September 2006 to the PNRC following the passage of to support emergency response efforts by the national society and an emergency appeal for CHF 5.7 million was launched on 2 October to request support for 126,000 beneficiaries for three months.

A month after typhoon Xangsane at the end of October, another category 5 typhoon, Cimaron hit the southern Isabella province, to which the PNRC again responded, this time with regional disaster response team (RDRT) support. It was followed by which hit the same areas as the two previous storms. On 30 November a fourth typhoon, Durian caused even worse destruction across the central Philippines where at least 300 people were killed. The PNRC again called for support from the International Federation and a further DREF allocation of CHF 100,000 was made, while the emergency appeal was revised upwards to CHF 8.8 million. As the scale of the destruction became more apparent the PNRC called for further international support and an 18-member RDRT and field assessment and coordination team (FACT) was sent to support them as well as an IT/telecommunications emergency response unit (ERU) to strengthen the in-country communications. In December, following assessments in six of the most affected areas a plan of action was put together with the PNRC which prioritized shelter reconstruction and repairs to health stations and well as improved access to safe water for people in evacuation centres. The emergency appeal was consequently again revised upwards on 20 December 2006 to CHF 10.5 million to support the PNRC in assisting 1,030,000 beneficiaries for nine months.

A very similar pattern of typhoons and damage occurred in Vietnam when typhoons Xangsane and Durian moved from the Philippines to hit the south and central parts of the country. Two DREF allocations of CHF 100,000 were made following both storms followed by an emergency appeal for CHF 1.67 million which was revised following the second wave of damage to CHF 2.97 million to support 99,500 beneficiaries in the 18 central and southern provinces for 12 months with a wide range of relief and recovery needs. http://www.ifrc.org/where/country/cn6.asp?iYear=1&xFlag=2&countryid=191&view=1 Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF); Appeal No. MAA00010; Programme Update no 2. 9

On October 7 Mount Tavurvur Volcano situated on New Britain Island in Papua New Guinea erupted with a blast that caused windows to shatter up to 12 kilometres away. Following heavy ash falls, 1,221 people were evacuated and provided shelter in care centres where basic health, food and water services were provided. The Papua New Guinea Red Cross Society (PNGRCS) provided tarpaulins and water containers from its emergency stocks and requested a DREF allocation of CHF 30,000 to be able to replace its emergency stock. Further distributions of shelter materials, water and water containers were necessary 10 days later when a magnitude 6.7 earthquake occurred on the south coast of New Britain Island, although not related to the eruption of Mount Tavurvur. The DREF allocation was also used to supplement relief items from the PNGRCS.

Two other DREF minor emergencies allocations were made during the reporting period for India and Malaysia in response to flooding. In August an allocation of CHF 100,000 supported the Indian Red Cross to provide relief to 10,000 beneficiaries who were affected by serious flooding in Maharashtra, Andhra, Pradesh, Gujarat and Chattisgarh states, which had previously been suffering from drought. In December, CHF 50,000 was allocated from the DREF to support the Malaysia Red Crescent Society’s (MRCS) initial assessment and relief effort in response to the country’s worst flooding in 37 years which affected the south of the country. One hundred thousand people were displaced and 2,000 of them were unable to return to their homes. In response to the situation MRCS released boats and emergency food and other relief supplies to assist those displaced. MRCS staff and volunteers undertook boat rescues, relief work and establishment of evacuation centres for displaced people, mass scale cooking for those affected and carried out an assessment of the affected area with the support of a regional disaster response team (RDRT).

Europe During the reporting period from 1 July to 31 December 2006, three allocations were made for the Europe and Central Asia region for a total of CHF 298,000. One allocation of CHF 100,000 was for an emergency appeal and two allocations (CHF 198,000) were for minor emergencies.

On 29 July 2006 two earthquakes of between 4.5 and 5.5 on the Richter scale hit several villages in the Qumsangir district of the Khatlon oblasts in Tajikistan, leaving over 15,000 people without shelter. The Red Crescent Society of Tajikistan (RCST) had been undertaking contingency planning for response to earthquakes and other disasters and consequently recently trained disaster response teams were deployed to carry out an assessment of needs and to distribute relief. RCST provided tents and self-support construction kits, water purification tablets as well as carrying out health and hygiene awareness programmes. A DREF allocation of CHF 100,00 allowed the national society to replenish its emergency stocks.

On 26 December another earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale occurred in Kyrgyzstan. The epicentre was located in Kochkor district, 140 kilometres south-east of the capital city of Bishkek, which is one of the poorest in the country. Over 34,000 people were affected and initial assessments indicated that some 6,883 houses were damaged or destroyed. A DREF allocation of CHF 100,000 was made to support the Red Crescent Society of Kyrgyzstan in relief distributions of blankets, mattresses, bedding, hygiene kits, kitchen sets and food parcels to 400 most affected families in the villages of Kochkor rayon. On 8 January another earthquake measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale struck the Naryn oblast on the border with Tajikistan, damaging a further 965 houses. As a consequence an emergency appeal for CHF 487,745 was launched on 11 January to allow the national society to provide emergency food rations and hygiene kits for four months for approximately 1,332 families in the two areas.

The other DREF allocation of CHF 98,000 for this region was made to the Ukrainian Red Cross in July to replenish its emergency stocks distributed to people affected by the floods that affected the Crimea region. In three days from 30 June to 2 July, an average of three months’ rainfall caused widespread flooding and damage.

Middle East and North Africa One allocation of CHF 200,000 was made during the reporting period to an emergency appeal which was launched in response to the humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.

In July 2006, the hostilities in Lebanon created a humanitarian crisis and considerable fear that provoked mass population movements to Syria for those seeking shelter, safety or humanitarian relief assistance. Foreign nationals from other countries caught up in the hostilities were evacuated by plane and ship to nearby locations, including Cyprus, Turkey, Syria, Egypt, and other countries. An allocation of CHF 200,000 was made from the DREF to provide immediate support for assessments in Syria, Cyprus, and Egypt, and to assist the national societies in delivering needed humanitarian relief items.

Following assessments of the numbers of people needing assistance in the different countries, a preliminary appeal was launched on 21 July and revised on 11 August for CHF 5,036,998 to assist the national societies in Syria and Cyprus and to support the work of the Lebanese Red Cross and build their capacity.
