The WMMR is built on surveillance data that health service providers and NGOs transmit on a weekly basis from health facilities and hospitals in those areas affected by the earthquake that struck Pakistan on 8 October 2005. The WMMR objectives are to monitor the trend of health conditions over a period of time and provide vital information to all health partners. The WMMR is only a snapshot of the health conditions in those facilities where events are registered and data collected and does not necessarily reflect the situation from other health facilities. The WMMR is a publication that has been developed for emergencies and previously used in other areas such as the Darfur Crisis. The WMMR is produced with the financial support of AAI Australia, Americares, CIDA, Denmark, DFID, ECHO, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Monaco, Norway, SIDA, Slovak Republic, Switzerland, Turkey, USAID The WMMR is published by the World Health Organization (WHO), Health Emergency Operation Centre, House #6, Street #20, F-7/2, Islamabad, Pakistan For More Information, please contact: Dorcas Taylor, Epidemiologist, WHO/EHA/Pakistan; [email protected] or Dr. Birjees Mazher Kazi, Chief, Public Health Laboratories Division, NIH MOH; [email protected] or WHO Webpage: http://www.whopak.org/disaster WMMR Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report Pakistan 10 Jan 2007 / Vol. 59/ DEWS 2006 -52 Reporting Units The number of sites able to report decreased by 52 this week and the reporting timeliness of the DEWS systems has also decreased compared with last week. This is most likely to do with the Eid ul-Azha which took place at the beginning of the following week, and resulted in many closures of facilities. Some facilities in NWFP were also unable to report because security threats against NGOs resulted in the evacuation of staff from NGO run faciltities. See Table 1 for summary statistics. Table1.

    EARTHQUAKE EMERGENCY NRC PAKISTAN EARTHQUAKE SITUATION REPORT – WEEK ENDING 22ND JAN 2006 Situation overview Heavy snow and rain continued during the beginning of the week, causing avalanches and landslides as well as hardship for earthquake affectees and the relief community. However by the weather conditions were improving by Wednesday and helicopter operations resumed immediately. A total of 25 helicopters are now operating, delivering aid and deploying passengers to high altitude areas and lower areas. Significant roads in the earthquake affected area are still closed and aftershocks continue. A snow leopard has been circling NRC tents during the night. FOCUS – NRC Builds Camp Management Skills NRC Camp Management and Training of Trainers courses started this week in Mansehra and Musaffarabad. The training aims to enhance living conditions in camps and allow a more cohesive approach to camp management, according to Nina M. Birkeland, NRC Camp Management Adviser who flew in from Oslo on Monday with others who will be conducting training for the next three weeks. Tens of thousands of earthquake affectees are living in camps, some of which are managed better than others. They have been living in tents for over 3 months now. NRC’s training will allow internationally acquired knowledge on best practice standards to be given to those involved in camp management, and allow them to benefit from lessons already learned in the field. Training and support documentation (including the excellent Camp Management Toolkit) will be available in Urdu from next week. The NRC team is building the skills of participants so they can then train others.

The implications of this are already becoming apparent for the people themselves and for the humanitarian relief operation and are reflected in the greater population movement, more challenging access for the delivery of assistance, and in changing needs for the affected population as a whole, some 3.2-3.5 million, and the most vulnerable groups within this. The overall relief effort for the people affected by the earthquake is led by the Government of Pakistan and its various entities.
