SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck south Asia on the morning of Saturday 8 October 2005, totally devastating parts of northern Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. The epicentre of the earthquake was located 95 kilometres northeast of the Pakistan capital Islamabad. At the time of this update, the death toll in Pakistan alone stands at over 50,000 with 74,000 injured. Both these numbers are likely to increase.

Since this appeal was issued on Tuesday 11 October field assessments have been analysed, operations commenced, and the scope and size of this disaster has became clearer: It has quickly become evident that this disaster is much larger than first assumed, hence the requirement to update this Flash Appeal.

Following the earthquake, the Pakistani Government immediately mobilized its available resources, mounting massive search, rescue and life-saving operations involving the Pakistani armed forces and thousands of volunteers who rescued many, many people. This was coupled with, and supported by, the relief efforts of the international community, which has concentrated initially on increasing the provision of aid, getting access to more people, as well as facilitating medical evacuation and the provision of camps for people who voluntarily move. Over 100 international organizations, including the United Nations, International Organisations, international Search and Rescue Teams, NGOs, EU, NATO and bilateral partners, immediately poured into the country and hundreds of thousands of metric tonnes of relief items have been donated. Helicopters, airlifts of tents, blankets, foodstuffs and medical teams have been arriving around the clock. Local, regional and global stocks of winterised tents were virtually exhausted within days. Yet, as each day reveals more acute needs, it is clear that the response provided so far is inadequate.

Some seventeen days after the earthquake, the unfolding picture reveals levels of human and economic devastation unprecedented in the history of the subcontinent. The entire area of Pakistan- administered Kashmir and North-West Frontier Province (NWFP) is affected: hundreds of towns of villages have been completely wiped out, particularly around Muzaffarabad, Mansehra, Balakot and Batagram.

The affected region, home to a population of 4-5 million, is situated on the foot of the Himalayas, with thousands of villages, individual hamlets and isolated settlements scattered over an area of 28,000 square kilometres. The earthquake destroyed most hospitals, schools, and government buildings and communications and killed many of the government officials needed for the immediate response.

Access to the people in need is a major concern. The majority of roads and bridges were destroyed, not just blocked, and the subsequent 900 aftershocks have caused numerous landslides. These have blocked remaining roads, cutting all access to some areas. As a result, thousands of people have been cut off in several mountain valleys and have still not been reached. Tens of thousands of injured have not been treated as yet, and their injuries, although treatable, are likely to prove fatal if people are not reached within days. Only a few weeks remain before winter arrives. Thousands of injured, dehydrated and undernourished survivors, sheltering in the fields in makeshift shelters or in the open air in temperatures below zero, are likely to die unless they can be reached before the harsh winter starts.

Pakistan and the global community are facing a challenge of colossal proportions. The combination of rapidly deteriorating weather conditions, the extraordinary logistical challenges in reaching hundreds of thousands of people scattered in mountainous areas, and the lack of winterised shelter, all indicate that the worst case scenario: many more thousands dead might become a realty.

The current death toll of about 50,000 could double if aid immediately is not mobilized and delivered to the thousands scattered in the mountainous areas. By 25 October, US$ 68 million had been committed to the UN and its partners and a further US$ 35 million had been pledged. The latest estimates indicate that over 2 million people require life-saving assistance of winterised shelter, medical care, food, water and sanitation facilities, with only a small proportion so far adequately covered. Logistics resources are paramount to ensure delivery of those relief items. Camp establishment and management will also be critical to house the millions of homeless. All these must be treated as equal priorities. It will also be imperative to identify and address the needs of vulnerable and disadvantaged groups.

SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE

In close coordination with the Government of Pakistan, and based on reports and assessments from the cluster groups and other partners, the Flash Appeal now requires US$ 549,585,941, for six months. 67% of the increase in requirements originally cited in the Flash Appeal issued on 11 October 2005 is due to the extraordinary logistical challenges imposed by the terrain. The provision of air support is required now to move aid to people in need before winter. In-kind logistical contributions (air support, trucks, etc) put at the disposal of the UN operation will be counted against the appeal, reducing the unmet cash requirements accordingly.

SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE

2. HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES BY CLUSTER

Summary As each day goes by the situation becomes clearer: This earthquake has had a catastrophic impact on the region, with humanitarian consequences being far larger than imagined. At first the humanitarian community estimated an ‘affected population’ of four million of which one million were ‘severely affected’ and hence in need of urgent assistance. As assessment material has been gathered, the numbers of severely affected are now estimated to range from 1.6 million to nearly 2 million, depending on the needs for each cluster.

In addition, the Government and humanitarian community have cooperated and worked much closer together, sharing information, to reach these mutually-agreed casualty figures - which are much higher than in the original Flash Appeal: hence it has become necessary to update the figures for both populations and needs used in the Flash Appeal, based on greater knowledge, more cooperation between actors, and a better understanding of the particular difficulties of the operation. Financial requirements have almost doubled, with the most substantial increases being for logistics, shelter and health. The requirements for the food and nutrition cluster are similarly likely to increase when the results of the current Joint WFP/UNICEF Rapid Emergency Food Security and Nutrition Assessment are available.

The increased awareness of the humanitarian consequences of this devastating natural disaster, the numbers of people struck and their particular needs have been reflected in the updated response plans prepared by the cluster groups. The overarching priorities continue to be: reaching the people in need; providing assistance to ensure survival; protecting and assisting the most vulnerable; and supporting early recovery and reconstruction. This is reflected in the brief summaries below.

2.1 SHELTER Winterized Shelter must be urgently provided for up to three million homeless people. Winterized tents continue to be required, and all viable alternatives are being explored to provide sustainable solutions to the shelter crisis. This emergency requires the exploration of multiple and creative options to respond to the shelter needs in an extremely difficult environment. In addition to the 122,000 tents already provided and the 194,000 currently in the pipeline, assessments indicate requirements of up to 210,000 more tents/shelters.

In brief, even considering what has already been delivered or is in the pipeline, up to 1.5 million people face winter without emergency shelter of any kind.

2.2 LOGISTICS Achieving access to the affected populations remains a major concern, and approaching winter makes this especially urgent. The logistics cluster seeks to ensure that an integrated supply chain service is available to all humanitarian actors. The World Food Programme (WFP), as the lead logistics agency, will provide basic camp support for humanitarian personnel in the Forward Operating Bases, erect

4

SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE temporary warehouses and provide transport capacity for the storage and transit of relief aid. WFP is establishing the United Nations Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS) to provide essential air cargo and passenger services utilizing MI-8 and MI-26 helicopters for six months. The cluster members will provide dedicated trucks and facilitate commercial transport contracting for the delivery of relief cargo. Through the Joint Logistics Centre (UNJLC), the cluster aims to establish and maintain a cargo priority and tracking system; solicit, coordinate, and prioritize requirements for air transportation; establish and maintain logistics coordination capabilities at six Forward Operating Bases; in conjunction with Humanitarian Information Centre (HIC) to establish and maintain logistics All Source Information System; establish liaison with governmental and military partners; undertake infrastructure assessments, collate and disseminate essential logistics information; and to facilitate the establishment of surface and air corridors and de-conflict with military/civilian entities. The significantly increased amount requested to cover logistic needs in the response plans reflects the challenges faced in accessing populations as quickly and effectively as possible.

2.3 FOOD AND NUTRITION The earthquake either destroyed household food and seed stocks or impeded access. It is known that at least 1.6 million people are food insecure and in need of emergency food assistance. An interagency food needs assessment will provide more precise data on 26 October. In the meantime, there is an urgent need and a short window of opportunity to mobilize and 'preposition' food in strategic locations prior to the onset of winter when access to food insecure communities will be further impeded by snow. There is concern that vulnerable populations will be susceptible to acute malnutrition and nutrition-related diseases unless their minimum food requirements are met with emergency food assistance and micro-nutrients. The response plan reflects the original estimate for only the immediate needs for food and provides for relief distributions for up to one million people. This figure could well be revised based on the results of further assessments.

The response plan also includes revised requirements based on new information, for seeds, fertilizer, animal feed and tools, needed to protect livelihoods for affected farmers through replenishment of depleted assets. Actions will also include local capacity reinforcement (local NGOs and extension health and nutrition workers) to reach people to whom access has not yet been possible and to scale up nutrition activities on the ground in prevention to the acute malnutrition expected with the onset of winter.

2.4 HEALTH Situation in the health cluster: The earthquake destroyed approximately 70% of the health facilities present in the area, and led to the death of many of the health workforce. In addition, it left more than 75,000 injured people in need of urgent medical or surgical care. National and international field hospitals and referral regional hospitals dealt with these tremendous challenges in the last two weeks, but a lot remains to be done. Over two weeks after the earthquake, several affected areas have neither been assessed nor reached. The present health risks stem from inadequate shelter conditions, lack of safe drinking water and poor sanitation. In addition to these health risks, there is the threat of disease outbreaks, the collapse of the health system, and the psychological trauma of losing loved ones or being injured in the earthquake. This situation demands from the health sector agencies, whether governmental, UN or NGOs, to boost emergency health care services, strengthen the early warning disease surveillance and response system, and to resume primary health care and hospital referral services. To cover the gaps created by the death and displacement of health professionals, more than 500 national civilian and military health staff and more than 800 health staff from the international community have been mobilised. The objectives of the health cluster are presented at the beginning of the related section.

2.5 WATER AND SANITATION The earthquake devastated water and sanitation systems. In the urban areas all water and sewage networks have been destroyed and in several cases the treatment plants have also been severely damaged. Rural communities largely depended on gravity flow schemes and while the sources remain intact, the networks have been destroyed. Communities that cannot easily reach the source have migrated down into valleys. As a result, virtually the entire affected population is currently drinking contaminated water. A similar level of disruption has occurred with sanitation. Where a house has been destroyed, the sanitation facility has also been lost. The networks of the few sewage systems in

5

SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE the affected areas have also been destroyed and the large numbers of people who have migrated in search of food or water are also with out sanitation. This places an exceptional burden on women who now, due to the local culture, can only defecate after dark. A lack of water, soap and privacy has also greatly reduced levels of hygiene. The very highest priority at the moment is for those severely affected people, up to 250,000, who will soon be cut off by the snow. The next highest priority, given the high density of populations, will be those who have settled in camps including spontaneous settlements, a number that could be as high as 500,000. In urban areas, this cluster is also prioritizing the repair and rehabilitation of water and sanitation infrastructure in order to restore services as quickly as possible.

2.6 EDUCATION The education cluster aims to ensure that all schoolchildren affected by the earthquake have access to education activities and are back into an initial rapid education programme as soon as possible. This will give the entire family some sense of a gradual return to normalcy in a protective environment. It also plans to ensure that all teachers working with earthquake-affected children have received initial necessary basic training to address earthquake-related trauma through provision of teacher training and support services, including psychosocial support for teachers from affected schools. Some 790,000 children aged between 5-18 years are estimated to have been affected by the earthquake and 10,000 schools to have been damaged or destroyed. Assessments undertaken with the Ministry of Education have highlighted the needs for tents for temporary school structures, text books and 'School in a Box' supplies, as well as training for some 25,000 teachers, to support the early return to education activities. Teachers and children will be provided with psychosocial support jointly with child protection.

2.7 PROTECTION The protection cluster seeks to prevent the separation of women and children from their families, to reunify separated family members and to provide short to long-term care and protection alternatives to separated children. Tracing children separated from their families is already underway and this cluster, in conjunction with the Ministry of Social Welfare, seeks to address the needs of the most vulnerable - including orphans. There is a real need to support communities in relation to Gender-based Violence, both to raise awareness on gender equality, monitor incidents of violence, put in place appropriate preventative measures and, where necessary, provide suitable care. The earthquake has rendered a large number of parents without a partner or a traditional support, and they now have a changed role that requires special protection and psycho-social support. It is imperative that human rights considerations are integrated into all phases of the disaster response from the initial emergency relief stage to recovery and reconstruction. Early steps to incorporate human rights protection into the relief and recovery operations from the outset will contribute towards a more equitable, effective and sustainable reconstruction process in the long term. Protection and Education were initially combined as a single cluster in the initial Flash Appeal, but separate Clusters have now been established to allow concentration on a broader range of needs.

2.8 CAMP MANAGEMENT The camp management cluster faces the double challenge of supporting the informal and temporary settlements as they are spontaneously being established by the people coming from the mountains, and, at the same time, identifying sites and planning for secure formal camps in the scarce flat land areas. The cluster estimates that camps for 500,000 people need to be planned. The immediate objectives are to identify spontaneous camps, and ensure adequate standards and camp management in cooperation with other clusters.

2.9 EARLY RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION The early reconstruction and recovery cluster recognises that, even as the Government and humanitarian community responds to the immediate relief needs, some preliminary recovery activities can be undertaken to clear the debris resulting from the earthquake, and reconstruct and rehabilitate essential infrastructure, including assessing the impact of the earthquake on education and health and initiating recovery. An important element of this response plan is the restoration of livelihoods. Complementary recovery and livelihood-related activities have also been identified by other cluster

6

SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE groups, in relation to food security, for example, through the provision of agricultural inputs, and are reflected under the most relevant cluster.

2.10 INFORMATION AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS The information and telecommunications cluster aims to establish communication networks for new United Nations offices being established to facilitate relief operations. The objective of the project is to upgrade staff and maintain the existing inter-agency communications necessary for coordination and operational management. It also aims at harmonizing the activities between the humanitarian community and Government counterparts to ensure effective communications while avoiding duplication of systems and maximizing the use of local telecommunications resources. The cluster seeks to ensure the implementation of a security communications network and provision of the data services for UN agencies in support of the humanitarian missions. Initial planning is to establish six UN hubs.

Based on reports from the main clusters, this Flash Appeal now requires US$ 549,585,941 for six months. At the time of writing, even though the disaster occurred seventeen days ago, access to thousands of people affected by the earthquake remains the biggest obstacle of the relief operation. Consequently, the projects contained in this Flash Appeal continue to focus on life-saving activities and sustaining relief operations for up to 6 months. The projects will be further adjusted and include more focus on recovery in the near future as more precise information is available. A number of assessments are already underway in this respect.

3. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

Response Coordination The response to this disaster is being coordinated closely with the Government of Pakistan, which is playing a key role in leading and supporting the relief and recovery effort at capital and provincial level. The cluster Groups include representatives of, and liaise closely, with the relevant line Ministries, whose officials actively participate in both assessments and response planning. This has been facilitated in some areas, such as health, where close working relationships and cooperation had been developed before this disaster occurred.

The humanitarian coordination structures established immediately after the earthquake by the UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) Team in support of the Resident Coordinator included the Reception Centre at Islamabad Airport for incoming SAR teams and relief organizations, setting up the Emergency Coordination Centre in Islamabad, which has been the strategic and operational hub during the initial phase of the rescue and relief operations, and the Disaster Management Team composed of Country Representatives of UN agencies. The Islamabad Hub, where some 100 organizations have been meeting daily for general coordination briefings, has been supported by Humanitarian Common Services such as the Humanitarian Information Centre (HIC), Logistics, UNHAS, CMCoord, MapAction and Telecoms in addition to Security. An OSOCC was immediately established in Muzaffarabad. During the second week of operations, it was transformed into the first of the six planned field-based Humanitarian Hubs, followed days later by Mansehra and Bagh. Three more locations are currently being identified in an effort to cover the affected area and to de-centralize the operational humanitarian coordination to the field level.

From the outset, in the spirit of reform of the humanitarian system and as recommended by the Humanitarian Response Review, the coordination structures adopted in response to the earthquake followed the cluster approach. Ten clusters have been formed: Shelter (lead: IOM), Food and Nutrition (lead: WFP/UNICEF), Health (lead: WHO), Water and Sanitation (lead: UNICEF), Camp Management (lead: UNHCR), Logistics (lead: WFP), Protection (lead: UNICEF), Education (lead: UNICEF), IT/Telecommunications (leads: OCHA/UNICEF/WFP), Early Reconstruction and Recovery (lead: UNDP). Cluster meetings have been taking place daily with an increasing number of partners. The Government has identified counterpart focal points to co-chair cluster meetings. In addition, the cluster heads' group forum has evolved from an early information exchange phase to focus now on strategic planning and coordination in Islamabad. Operational cluster coordination structures are also being developed in the three already-established humanitarian hubs.

The cluster approach represents an important new development in humanitarian policy and practice. Its implementation in Pakistan has mostly been embraced by partners and its being actively tested on the ground. Already, the process has revealed some important lessons which will contribute to further development of the concept in theory and practice. While the in-depth evaluation of the approach must wait until the emergency phase of the operation is over, one important lesson has already emerged: namely that the cluster approach represents a paradigm shift in humanitarian thinking. Lead and partner agencies will need to give up elements of their own procedures and visibility for the sake of faster and more effective progress on the ground. The concept of delegated leadership and coordination must be strengthened to ensure the full implementation of the approach.
