Chechnya Crisis - Emergency Relief for Displaced - EUCN91 Appeal Target : US$ 749,529

Geneva, 3 November 1999

Dear Friends,

The crisis in the North is another humanitarian catastrophe needing immediate response by the international community. Thousands of people have fled Chechnya into the neighboring regions getting away from the incessant fighting in Chechnya which is claiming a lot of civilian casualties. Close to 200,000 people are now displaced in the region of while thousands others are seeking in other neighboring regions. The displaced families are living in terrible conditions suffering from lack of shelter, food, medical care, and winter clothing. Women and children make up about 65% of the displaced and the weaker ones simply succumb to the harsh conditions and die.

ACT members Norwegian Church Aid and Dutch Inter Church Aid, working through their local partner members on the ground, wish to respond to the extent possible to this, yet another human disaster. The response proposed will mainly cover;

§ Relief food § Medical Aid § Shelter (winter tents) § Psychological support to traumatized women and children

The total Appeal amount is US$749,529.

In responding to this humanitarian needs, we shall encourage a great deal of cooperation and coordination among the implementing partners in the area. The responsibility for reporting will be that of the ACT members mentioned above. It should be mentioned here that due to the high risks of insecurity in the area, project monitoring could prove to be difficult.

ACT is a worldwide network of churches and related agencies meeting human need through coordinated emergency response. The ACT Coordinating Office is based with the World Council of Churches (WCC) and the Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in Switzerland. Once more we count on your generous contributions to this urgent and desperate human needs.

I. REQUESTING ACT MEMBER

Dutch Interchurch Aid (DIA).

II. IMPLEMENTING AGENCY

Agency for Relief and Development (ARD), a Chechen women’s organisation engaged in rehabilitation work with children and women for a number of years. The Agency for Rehabilitation and Development (ARD) was founded in in 1995 to address the specific needs of war-traumatised children. Working under extremely difficult conditions, the organisation has succeeded in launching its programme in Grozny and in twelve villages in the mountainous areas of southern Chechnya. ARD has followed a community-based methodology in its work and has utilised and reinforced existing systems of solidarity within Chechen society. In a torn and divided society, ARD has succeeded in establishing close collaboratory relationships with people in villages and towns, with local authorities, health and education workers, religious leaders, councils of elders and the families of children benefiting from the programme.

ARD has been a partner of Dutch Interchurch Aid (DIA) for four years. Funding for its programmes was provided by DIA, the Netherlands Ministry for Development Cooperation, and Caritas Netherlands. The organisation also received and continues to receive non-financial support from the Netherlands-based Relief Committee for Chechnya and YMCA/Palestine. Throughout the years of partnership with ARD, the organisation has consistently exhibited a high degree of credibility, integrity, commitment and ability to work under very difficult conditions. It is currently implementing a three-year programme (1999-2001) which, in addition to children, covers women, adolescents, wounded children and children in need of artificial limbs.

Following the recent emergency situation in Chechnya, ARD developed a proposal for emergency assistance. Given the immense communication difficulties with the outside world, and the volatile, rapidly-changing situation on the ground, the proposal might lack some details, but it addresses urgent needs identified by local development workers present in the midst of the fighting and the humanitarian tragedy unfolding in Chechnya. ARD has also sought innovative ways for ensuring that emergency funds provided are immediately put into use to alleviate the extremely difficult conditions of refugees in Chechnya.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

As the fighting in Chechnya intensifies, the plight of the refugees is worsening every day. Latest news report Russian forces pushing closer to the capital city of Grozny and speak of large numbers of civilians blockaded inside the city. On Friday the 15th. of October, the Russian Emergencies Ministry said that more than 150,000 refugees had fled to Ingushetia and other regions, with the number of refugees expected to reach 300,000. Two days later Russian troops closed the main highway from Chechnya into Ingushetia, pushing refugees back to the war zone. The only escape route left open for refugees now is reportedly a trek on foot over the snow-capped Caucasus mountains into .

Intense rocket and air attacks by Russian forces over the past week have resulted in many civilian deaths. In addition to the 160 reported killed in the missile attack on the Grozny market, 60 civilians were reported dead on Sunday following a rocket and air attack on Vedeno, southeast of Grozny, and on Samaski, west of the capital, near the Ingush border.

The humanitarian catastrophe in Chechnya is taking on increasingly tragic proportions. The number of displaced families living in terrible conditions is very large. The influx of refugees to the Vedeno district, southeast of Grozny, has led to the rise of the population in the area from 30,000 before the fighting began to about 90,000 according to reports from Chechnya. Fleeing civilians are suffering lack of food, medical care and live in constant fear of bombing. The largest hospital in the region, in Vedeno itself, is lying in ruins, completely destroyed and rendered unoperational. The only other hospital, in Makhketi, has medical staff but no supplies. The hospital has literally run out of all medicine, including aspirin and jodium. There is no equipment to operate the wounded, nor is there the simplest ultrasonic device to locate bomb fragments within their bodies. Doctors fear that epidemics may break out and that diseases which can be easily cured in normal circumstances might become fatal. The population, predominantly composed of elderly people, women and children, are desparately in need of medical care. In the Vedeno region, the problem is further complicated by the fact that some 6,000 original residents of the area already suffer from chronic lung and heart diseases.

As Russian forces tighten their systematic sealing off of Chechnya, they are targeting medical supplies in particular. Russian military officials have openly stated that they will not allow through humanitarian aid destined for territories controlled by the Chechen government. The consequences in terms of human suffering, especially for those urgently in need of medical assistance, are grave.

IV. APPEAL GOAL

Objectives:

1. Distribution of emergency medical aid supplies to refuges in: - the Vedeno region - The Akhmet region of Georgia where 5,000 Chechen refugees live 2. Turning the Makhketi hospital into a regional medical centre where urgent treatment will be provided and medical supplies be distributed. The hospital will be capacitated to perform urgent operations for the wounded. 3. Distribution of emergency aid (foodstuffs and sanitary materials) to refugees in the Vedeno region and the at the Ingush border. Foodstuffs that will be distributed are: flour, sugar, salt, cooking-oil, butter, baby-food, dry milk, and tea. Sanitary materials to be distributed are: soap, washing powder, toothpaste, and shampoo. Given the increasing difficulty of purchasing food and sanitary materials inside Chechnya and Ingushetia, the number of families receiving this form of aid has been confined to 1000 per month. Once such materials are more readily available in Chechnya and Ingushetia, ARD will prepare a supplementary funding request in order to cover a larger number of IDP and refugees. 4. Provision of psychological support to children and women in the Vedeno region and the refugee camp at the Ingush border. 5. Establishment of a trauma / rehabilitation centre for children in the refugee camp at the Ingush border. ARD has already acquired extensive experience in this field and have qualified staff inside the refugee camp within Ingushetia. Their experience has made them aware of the extreme significance of immediate trauma assistance to children in situations of conflict. The centre will organise children’s free time and conduct a mixture of educational and psychological work.

V. BENEFICIARY INFORMATION AND TARGETED AREAS The Agency for Relief and Development (ARD) will address this urgent need for the provision of medical aid to refugees in the Vedeno region and to an additional 5,000 refugees presently based in the Akhmet region of Georgia.

ARD will also undertake the distribution of emergency aid, foodstuffs and sanitary materials, in eight villages in the Vedeno region and in a refugee camp located at the border area with Ingushetia. The villages are: Shali, argun, Chechen-Aul, Duba-Yurt, Shatoy, Khattuni, Tevzana, and Makhketi. The appeal also covers the provision of psychological support to children, women and the displaced population at large. It is also planned that a trauma and rehabilitation centre be established in the refugee camp at the Ingush border.

VI. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT

1. In order to supervise the efficient distribution of emergency medical aid in the Vedeno region, ARD will temporarily establish a field office in Makhketi. 2. The medical supplies consist of 20 units of basic and supplementary emergency health kits (EHK) in addition to equipment and supplies that would capacitate the Makhkaty hospital to perform operations, primarily for the wounded. For this purpose, four diesel-operated 25kWatt power generators will also be purchased. The EHK includes medicines, disposables and instruments, sufficient to support 10,000 people during a three months period. 3. Medical supplies (EHK units sufficient to serve 100,000 people for 6 months) will be bought in the Netherlands (on the basis of pricing made by the International Dispensary Association, a supplier of Medecins Sans Frontieres) and then flown into a country neighbouring Chechnya. ARD will be responsible for coordinating the transfer of supplies from the transit location to the designated emergency areas. The organisation’s staff will subsequently coordinate distribution and, where needed, bring the wounded and the ill to the Makhketi medical centre.

Four power generators will be purchased in a country neighbouring Chechnya and then transported into the hospital location.

Funds for the purchase of other non-medical emergency items will be transferred through a reliable Bank and then sent to Chechnia with courriers.

For monitoring purposes, DIA will hire a person who will oversee the arrival of medical supplies and their proper onward transport from the transit location. ARD staff, through their temporary field office, will subsequently monitor and account for the receipt, storage, use and distribution of the medical supplies in the emergency areas. Satellite telephones will be acquired to ensure regular communication between the DIA-employee and ARD staff. Depending on how the situation on the ground develops, constant efforts will be made to strengthen the monitoring, documentation and reporting aspects of the emergency assistance. 4. The Mahkheti centre, where medical supplies will be stored, will be safeguarded around the clock to prevent theft. In contacts both with ARD and the Chechen government, the contribution of local communities in the emergency areas to the protection of the humanitarian operation, has extensively been explained and repeatedly stressed. 5. An ARD team will be responsible for coordinating the emergency work in the refugee camp on the Ingush border, including all relevant documentation and implementation. 6. ARD staff, already experienced in psychological rehabilitation work, will provide counselling to children and women in the various villages in the Vedeno region where refugees are concentrated. They will also be responsible for the establishment and operation of the trauma/rehabilitation centre for children in the refugee camp on the Ingush border and in the Vedeno region. VII. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The time-frame for the emergency work is 6 months from the date of fund-provision.

VIII. COORDINATION

ARD ensures the cooperation of authorities in the transit location for letting medical supplies pass through its territory.

In the field, close collaboration with the staff of Quakers Peace and Service Center and the Little Star Organisation (which is financed by the Quakers and NCA) will take place in the refugee camp on the Ingush border and other areas of Chechnya.

II. IMPLEMENTING AGENCY

Centre for Peacemaking and Community Development

Opportunities for Action

Ø The international community and the Russian Government are convinced that assistance to the IDPs in Ingushetia is required. Ø The Centre for Peacemaking and Community Development (CPCD) has local structures in place in Ingushetia and Chechnya, having continued working in the region constantly since 1995. In the last year, the work has been conducted by remote control through a committed, experienced local team. Ø The general atmosphere of cooperation among those humanitarian actors present in the North Caucasus or interested to be present is good.

III. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background The situation in Chechnya and Ingushetia is closely linked – the victims facing the results of the same armed conflict. One of the major differences is that people remaining in Chechnya face the threat of being bombed, and the Republic’s infrastructure and economy has been virtually destroyed. According to estimates by CPCD staff in Grozny, there are at least 10,000 IDPs within Grozny. Six camps, located in Grozny, Gudermes and Argun used to contain 2000 people without homes; there are presently at least 4000 living in these 6 camps. The majority of people are staying in homes of relatives or friends. There are many more people living in Chechnya in urgent need of humanitarian assistance. These include people who do not have the financial resources to stay as IDPs in Ingushetia, and have made the choice to stay in Chechnya and face the risk of bombing and military attack. Several thousands of people have returned from Ingushetia to Chechnya, not having found a place to live or other basic provisions.

The situation in Chechnya has continued to deteriorate since the war ended in 1996, with worsening conditions and a catastrophic lack of humanitarian assistance. The problem has been exacerbated by the withdrawal of nearly all international organizations over the last two years, due to the security situation.

CPCD is able to continue working due to trained and experienced local staff, who are at less risk than foreigners of being kidnapped or targeted in other ways. CPCD has strong, well-established local structures. Representatives remain in close contact with ex-patriate staff in the CPCD in Moscow. The CPCD administrator in Moscow is Chechen and can travel freely to Chechnya and Ingushetia. Similarly, programme coordinators in Ingushetia and Chechnya are able to visit Moscow regularly.

The post-war situation has proved in many ways even harder for those left in Chechnya than the period of armed conflict. The infrastructure is destroyed, and no major work to restore it has been undertaken in the three years since the war ended. Funds promised by in peace agreements to restore the destroyed economy have not been forthcoming. In Grozny, two thirds of hospitals and clinics were destroyed. Those that remain run at around 30 per cent of their original capacity. Medical staff have received wages for only 3 months of the last 2 years. Doctors trade in the market place after their shift at the hospital to feed their families. Hospitals are hopelessly lacking in medicines. There is an epidemic of tuberculosis, and the number of cases of cancer has rocketed due to pollution from amateur oil-refining, one of the few ways to make a living.

In diagnosis work of the CPCD in schools as part of our psychological rehabilitation work, we have found 30 per cent of children to be suffering from serious post-traumatic stress disorders. Landmines maim and kill dozens every year and render large portions of the excellent agricultural land useless.

IV. APPEAL GOAL

The Appeal Goal is to provide assistance to the targeted 2,000 families among the most affected by distributing food and nutrition items, sanitary and medical products, and shelter items.

V. BENEFICIARY INFORMATION AND TARGETED AREAS

Ø At the beginning of October, the number of IDPs in Ingushetia is around 110,000, according to the Ministry for Emergencies of Ingushetia, confirmed by staff of the Centre for Peacemaking and Community Development in Nazran. The figure includes 40,000 IDPs already in Ingushetia before the present crisis developed (40,000; please see below). Around 70,000 new IDPs have entered Ingushetia during the last two to three weeks. The flow of IDPs from Chechnya is continuing, as Russian Forces continue to attack inhabited areas in Chechnya. Ø It is estimated that the vast majority of the IDPs are children – around 75 per cent. The remaining 25 per cent consists mainly of women, and also old people. Few men are residing as IDPs in Ingushetia at present, partly because until recently they were not allowed to cross the border from Chechnya freely. Ø The tiny Republic of Ingushetia, with a population of only 300,000, does not have the infrastructure nor resources to absorb the IDPs. Around 80 per cent of IDPs are living in houses/flats, with the remaining 20 per cent in camps, tents or on the street. Ø As referred to above, Ingushetia has had around 20,000 IDPs from the prigorodnyi region of North Ossetia to accommodate, mainly of Ingush nationality, since 1992. In addition, there have been 20,000 IDPs from Chechnya since the war 1994-1996, and is not prepared for the large numbers arriving today.

The Immediate Response

Ø Those IDPs with relatives and close friends in Ingushetia have met hospitality there. Otherwise, accommodation has to be rented if no places are available in camps, and prices are often more than the IDPs can afford. More still are living in make-shift tents or on the streets. Ø The international community and the Russian Emergencies Ministry have begun to provide basic survival items, but the response so far as does not meet the needs by far. Ø Few NGOs are active in Ingushetia or the North Caucasus due to the security risk, and a series of kidnappings, particularly in 1996 and 1997, when most NGOs withdrew.

VI. DESCRIPTION OF TARGETED ASSISTANCE

The following items are required to provide emergency aid to those most in need in Ingushetia and Chechnya. All of the below (with the exception of the winter tents) can be purchased locally in Ingushetia, at discount price for bulk purchase.

Food stuffs and sanitary products will be distributed to 2000 families; 1000 families in Ingushetia and 1000 families in Chechnya. The food will be distributed three times (i.e. each family will receive three food boxes – one in mid-November; one end of November/ beginning of December, and one later in December). The sanitary products will be distributed once in November as one sanitary box.

Medical items will be distributed to health centres/ hospitals in the area where IDPs are being assisted.

The tents will provide IDPs, who have no shelter in camps in the Sunzhenskii region, with living quarters for the winter. Many of these IDPs have only blankets and plastic sheeting, or at best summer tents. Each tent is designed for 5 to 6 persons, or a medium-sized family. 50 tents will provide emergency accommodation for around 300 people for the winter. A heating device will be provided with each tent (the tents have chimneys for fumes). Such tents can be purchased from the manufacturing factory in Rostov.

VII. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION AND MANAGEMENT

The aid programme is to be distributed according to lists of families most in need, living in IDP camps in Ingushetia and Chechnya. These camps are situated mainly in the Sunzhenski region, which covers Eastern Ingushetia and South West Chechnya. There are also camps in Grozny, Gudermes and Argun (Chechnya) and Maiskoe and Malgobek (Ingushetia). The aid will be distributed according to the greatest need and in coordination with the work and with consideration of advice by the local authorities and other NGOs, to avoid duplicated efforts in any particular place and target those most in need of assistance.

A family member will sign for each box of aid received each time (three boxes of food aid and one box of sanitary products). In this way, it will be possible to monitor whether the families on the list received the aid apportioned to them.

Reporting/ Accounting

The CPCD has experience in compiling reports and accounts for its programmes in the North Caucasus. Receipts will be kept on the ground in Ingushetia and Chechnya, and reports will be compiled in cooperation with the CPCD office in Moscow. The final financial report will be audited in Moscow. A narrative report will also be compiled and submitted.

VIII. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE

The given programme is intended to last for 2 months, to start 1 November 1999. It is envisioned that a further programme will be proposed by CPCD to continue the assistance from the beginning of 2000, if the needs persist. Considering the developing situation, it is expected that the crisis will last significantly longer than the end of the current year.

IX. COORDINATION

CPCD offices in Nazran and Grozny have close information with the local authorities in the two Republics. The main authorities in Ingushetia dealing with the IDP crisis are the Emergencies Ministry and the Federal Migration Service. Both structures are offering the CPCD full cooperation and information about numbers of IDPs and provisions already provided. The programme CPCD proposes will be coordinated carefully with these bodies. In addition, CPCD is in close contact with the UNHCR offices in Moscow, and with all NGOs with an interest or intention to begin working in the North Caucasus. UNHCR has already sent two convoys to the area from their base in Stavropol. Their goods were distributed through the Ingush Emergencies Ministry. Medecins du Monde and the Agency for Rehabilitation and Development are currently working in Chechnya and Ingushetia. Action Contre La Faim andMedecins Sans Frontieres Belgium and Holland are considering whether to begin a programme in the area. Their main problem is security, not having locally established structures. There are good relations between the NGOs working/ considering to work in the region, and regular coordination meetings take place in Moscow, in which CPCD participates. OCHA is to provide a brief newsletter every 2 weeks to inform these agencies of the developing situation and action.
