Related Emergency or Annual Appeals: Pakistan Annual Appeal 05AA049, South Asia Regional Annual Appeal 05AA051 Operational Summary: On 13 December, an earthquake measuring 6.7 on the Richter scale struck the Afghan Hindu Kush mountains, with tremors rocking northern Pakistan and felt as far away as New Delhi. There have been no immediate reports of casualties in Pakistan. Today a further earthquake measuring 5.2 hit the Uttaranchal area of northern India – at this stage no casualties or damage are reported.

The Federation/Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) are intensifying efforts to distribute shelter materials and other relief items to vulnerable communities in the coming three to four weeks, before the onset of heavy snow cuts off access to remote mountainous areas. Over 100 PRCS volunteers have joined the existing relief teams to carry out assessments and distribute goods in the Allai Valley and Kohistan district. To date, the Federation/PRCS has reached more than 36,000 families with non-food relief items (NFI) – of these families, more than 29,000 have received tents.

Nearly 96,000 patients have been seen by the Federation and Red Cross and Red Crescent partners in earthquake affected areas of the country. Mobile health teams continue to expand services, reaching out to remote villages in Shangla district. Meanwhile, the Federation continues to provide assistance to the ministry of health to re-establish basic health care units, many of them destroyed as a result of the earthquake.

Background

An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.6 on the Richter scale, centred 95 km northeast of Pakistan’s capital, Islamabad, struck at 08:50 local time (03:50 GMT) on 8 October 2005, with tremors felt across the region from Kabul to Delhi. The quake has decimated northern Pakistan and northern India. In Pakistan alone, enormous numbers of people have been killed and injured. More than 3.5 million people have been made homeless. The immensity of the disaster is such that it remains one of deadliest in the region in living memory.

Situation

According to the United Nations Office for Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) more than two million people in quake-affected areas of Pakistan are living in tents or emergency/transitional shelters below 5,000 feet, while another 350,000 to 400,000 people remain in ‘risk areas’ at higher elevations. The agency reports that the focus of its earthquake relief in Pakistan’s mountains is shifting to people living below the snowline.

Authorities report that more than 400,000 houses need to be built in northern Pakistan for those left homeless by the earthquake. The government plans to provide 175,000 Pakistani rupees (USD 2,930) to help replace Norwegian Red Cross donated M6 trucks are being used each house that has been destroyed or damaged. to transport relief supplies to earthquake affected communities living in inaccessible areas in the Allai Officials say around USD 4 billion will be earmarked Valley for longer-term reconstruction, expected to begin in April 2006.

Pakistan: Earthquake; Appeal no. 05EA022; Operations Update no. 19 3

Reconstruction using wood, steel and corrugated iron sheets will be encouraged to ensure future resistance to earthquakes. Concrete roofs will be discouraged to avoid casualties in future earthquakes, as many concrete-roofed buildings, including most government offices and schools, were those that collapsed in the October earthquake, burying thousands of people under rubble.

The military reported that the collapse of a mountainside near Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-administered Kashmir triggered by the earthquake has blocked two major streams flowing out of the Jhelum River, creating huge lakes. Further landslides could breach the lakes, posing a serious threat to 12,000 people in the downstream area of Hattian. Experts are assessing the situation but there are currently no plans to evacuate the area.

Operational developments

Since relief distributions began on 21 October, five operational areas have been covered by the Federation/PRCS relief teams, with teams continuing to assess needs and distribute aid. In the past weeks, two new operational areas have been added to the coverage. So far the PRCS/Federation has reached some 36,000 families or some 252,000 beneficiaries, nearly half of the target population. Almost 45,000 families remain to be reached in the coming weeks prior to the onset of heavy snows.

The need to intensify efforts to shorten the distribution period in a manageable way has become increasingly urgent. The Federation/PRCS has developed a plan aimed at distributing the bulk of the remaining shelter materials and other non-food items in the next three to four weeks, to reach the most vulnerable in the higher elevations and to support vulnerable people in some of the tent camps. The plan will draw on support from an additional number of PRCS volunteers, further regional disaster response teams (RDRTs) and other Red Cross Red Crescent support.

Together with Red Cross Red Crescent partners, including the Turkish and Saudi Red Crescent societies, the Federation has to date seen nearly 96,000 patients in earthquake affected areas of the country. Mobile health teams continue to expand, with the two clinics run by the French Red Cross basic health unit reaching villa ges and camps in the Batagram area. In Besham, two mobile health teams are reaching out and improving access to medical care for communities in remote locations in the Shangla and Kohistan districts.

The Austrian/Swedish and Austrian/German Red Cross water sanitation emergency response units, in Batagram and Balakot respectively, are maintaining a constant level of production of potable water for more than 30,000 people in the two areas. The Federation is now extending its support to the Allai Valley (inc luding Besham) and Kohistan district to complement the efforts of the relief team’s intensive winter distribution plan.

Coordination

Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement The Federation continues to coordinate its activities closely with the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS), with the focus on the scaled up relief operations in North West Frontier Province (NWFP). During the reporting period over 100 PRCS volunteers from the provincial branch, almost one third of them women joined the Federation relief team, boosting capacity from the current eight to 20 teams. This has enabled the Federation/PRCS to quickly expand assessments and distributions in Kohistan and the Allai Valley.

The Qatar Red Crescent Society (QRCS) has expanded The Qatar Red Crescent has treated almost 6,000 patients, nearly one third of them children, at the field its activities, and in addition to its medical hospital in Bagh programmes, is now providing a relief team which is integrated into and supporting the Federation/PRCS operations in . Pakistan: Earthquake; Appeal no. 05EA022; Operations Update no. 19 4

The Federation and the ICRC in Islamabad and the field meet weekly to ensure a maximum level of cooperation across the Movement. Daily meetings are held at the PRCS, and between the ICRC and the Federation to discuss a range of operational issues. All Movement partners are working closely together to optimize resources.

External partners The Federation continues to work in close coordination with the Pakistan authorities and United Nations agencies by participating in relevant cluster meetings and other coordination mechanisms both in Islamabad and in the field , with or on behalf of the PRCS.

In the field, the Federation attends sanitation and hygiene promotion cluster meetings in , Balakot and Batagram focusing on the need for the rehabilitation of water supply networks, contingency planning and the emergency latrines construction programme of various agencies. The Federation also attends weekly shelter coordination meetings hosted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and, together with some of the larger international agencies, attends sub-cluster group meetings to discuss various issues from assessments to advocacy.

In consultation with United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the National Programme for Family Planning and Primary Health Care, the Federation has developed a plan for the distribution of 3,000 woollen blankets through mobile support units, which support maternal and child health care workers and facilities in the field.

Joint relief distributions are also carried out with Swiss Humanitarian Aid (SHA) and the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) in some operational areas.

Red Cross and Red Crescent action - objectives, progress, impact

1. Emergency relief (food and non-food)

Objective: the basic shelter and household needs of 81,000 earthquake -affected families (approximately 570,000 people) in northern Pakistan are met over the next six months, enabling them to start rebuilding their future.

Progress/Achievements To date, the Federation/PRCS has reached more than 36,000 families with non-food relief items (NFI) - of these families, more than 29,000 have also received tents. Those families that have not received a Federation/PRCS tent have either obtained one through another source or received corrugated iron sheeting from another international organization. A few hundred among the Federation/PRCS assessed families have yet to receive tents because of delays in receipt of the tents at field level.

Daily relief distributions by the Federation/PRCS have increased and capacity of the relief teams has been scaled up with the addition of more than 100 PRCS volunteers. During the reporting period, the new PRCS volunteers underwent a half day induction session and are now involved in ongoing assessments and distributions in Kohistan. As part of its intensive winter distribution plan, the Federation/PRCS expects to reach at least 25,000 affected families within the next three to four weeks with necessary shelter and non-food items. Besides tarpaulins, the package distributed to families will include kitchen sets, hygiene parcels and other items. Relief distributions to new beneficiary families and to provide further support to previous recipients will continue at full capacity into January. Federation relief distributions as of 12 December

In addition to assisting the most vulnerable families living in the high mountain areas, the Federation/PRCS has started to provide non-food items to both the official government run camps and to the steadily growing number of “spontaneous camps”. The move towards targeting camps is important as it will provide the Federation with the ability to reach more beneficiaries in a short timeframe.

Despite initial problems, with landslides cutting off road access, and a lack of experienced local workers, the Rubb hall (temporary warehouse) has now been erected in the Allai Valley. Basic washrooms and latrines are currently being installed in the camp adjacent to the Rubb hall for staff and volunteers working in the area. Four transport support unit (TSU) M6 trucks have started to deliver relief supplies to build up stocks in the area, while two TSU trucks based in Banna (Allai) are transporting relief items on to the various distribution points.

Additional Rubb halls will soon be erected in Chatter Plains or Takot, to be closer to operations in the Batagram area and to feed distributions in Battal and the Allai Valley. Hired trucks will deliver goods to Chatter Plain, while the M6 trucks ply the route to Allai. In Battal, the Qatar Red Crescent team has been fully integrated into the Federation/PRCS relief operation and will continue to carry out assessments and distribute non-food items to affected people .

The Federation/PRCS team Besham (Shangla district), which has so far been distributing aid to adjacent Kohistan district, has identified the need to provide assistance to an estimated 2,000 families in Shangla . A further consideration of working in the district is that it will help maintain the already good relationship with various locally-based stakeholders.

In the Kagan Valley, joint relief distributions with Swiss Humanitarian Aid (SHA) have reached some 1,300 families in Jareed and a further 1,200 families in Balakot. Relief distributions in cooperation with the Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED) have reached some 4,050 families in the union councils of Hangorai, Kawai and Mahandri.

The first round of distributions of tents, tarpaulins and blankets to over 10,000 families in Garhi Habibullah has nearly finished and planning is underway for the second round of distributions of the remaining relief items.

The Federation has also placed an order for an additional 20,000 winterized tents with the production line in China to ensure that there is an adequate supply to cover the additional needs for appropriate winterised shelter for those families who initially received non-winterised tents. This additional request is now reflected in the Federation’s mobilization table .

The Federation chartered helicopter made its maiden voyage on 12 December to the mountain village of Rashang in the Kagan Valley, to complete the distribution of relief supplies to 405 families. The helicopter operations team continues to gather information on remote and isolated populations where they can conduct assessment and distributions to the most vulnerable. The newly leased helicopter has a smaller payload than those commonly used by relief organizations, but has the advantage of landing in tighter area. The helicopter will be important for smaller-scale distributions, transportation of relief teams to remote areas and as a security measure, to ensure that teams can be picked up from mountain areas if winter weather closes in. The relief teams will still continue to use the larger United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS) helicopters for delivery of goods.

Constraints The lack of Federation delegates to fully support the relief operations has limited the expansion of the operation. The situation has improved somewhat as more delegates relocate from Islamabad to the Mansehra office, helping to strengthen the team and improve coordination and collaboration between the administration, logistics and relief departments. However, there are still challenges to find sufficient human resources to maintain continuous support to the operation as existing delegate contracts end and as the operation expands.

2. Emergency health and care

Objective: Some 250,000 earthquake -affected people in northern Pakistan have access to appropriate quality health care, safe water and sanitation services in the next six months. Pakistan: Earthquake; Appeal no. 05EA022; Operations Update no. 19 6

Progress/Achievements

Basic Health Care: To date, the Federation and Red Cross Red Crescent partners have seen nearly 96,000 patients in earthquake affected areas of the country.

In Abbottabad, the Federation multi-national field hospital continues to provide care to patients referred from the Ayub Medical Complex (AMC). Both the X-ray department and laboratory in the field hospital are now operational. Physiotherapy and psychosocial sessions remain the most prominent services, with 315 and 187 sessions respectively conducted during the reporting period.

The hospital is well prepared for a higher patient load - for the possibility of post operative complications, closure of other field hospitals, or more people coming to the lowlands because of harsh winter conditions - however, the changing health needs in the coming months remain unclear and further work has to be done to see how best to address them. An assessment conducted by the Federation to explore the possibility of higher referrals has found that, in general, hospitals are working at half the ir operational capacity. Transportation of patients from remote areas has been identified as one of the reasons for low referrals from other health facilities. Probable future referrals might include patients needing physiotherapy and psychosocial support. The Federation has discussed its exit strategy with the AMC administration and a plan of action has been agreed for phasing out expatriate staff to enable AMC staff to take over hospital services.

An additional mobile health team has started work in Besham, improving access to medical care for communities in ten locations in Shangla and Kohistan districts. The team comprises one doctor, one nurse, one female translator and a driver. Two PRCS volunteer doctors have signed up to support the team.

Mobile health teams travel to remote villages The two mobile teams have been working closely with women in the Besham area to reach affected people health workers (WHW) and community leaders, while providing basic health care and supporting communities to improve their own capacity. Discussions with community leaders have reinforced the need for the health teams to consult with the male leader of each community pr ior to working with the women. Besides working with WHW, the team has also identified the need for two women from the community to be taught simple first aid around the management of wounds, hygiene promotion and the treatment of diarrhoeal diseases.

Some 400 WHW in Balakot, Garhi Habibullah, and western Mansehra and Shangla districts have so far received winterized tents and heaters. The distribution of shelter items to revive the ‘health houses’ run by WHW has been identified by stakeholders as one of the best initiatives of the operation, helping to provide primary health care services to some 400,000 affected people (each WHW is assigned a catchment area of 1,000 people).

In recent days, tent communities in Balakot have been better organized and the per capita health needs have been addressed both at the primary and secondary level. The Federation travelled further north of Balakot to investigate gaps in health care and to identify locations for the mobile health teams to work. Clearly evident during the assessment was that areas around Balakot and the Kagan Valley appear to be well served. To support efforts in this area, the Federation agreed to provide a newly set up Cuban health facility in Ghnool Camp 1 north of Balakot (population 1,500) , with 15 hospital beds, 2,000 bed sheets (for camp residents and the hospital), one surgical kit containing disposable items for 100 procedures, a tetanus vaccine fridge, 200 tetanus vaccines and 200 tetanus immunoglobulin, and 12 sets of surgical scrubs. The Federation reinforced the need for the facility to refer complicated and major cases to the field hospital in Abbottabad for treatment. Pakistan: Earthquake; Appeal no. 05EA022; Operations Update no. 19 7

The Federation continues to provide assistance to the ministry of health to re-establish basic health care units (BHCU) in earthquake affected areas. During the reporting period, five institutions in hard-to-reach locations in Shangla district were targeted to receive goods such as tents, generators, heaters, beds, sleeping bags, new emergency health kits, blankets and tarpaulins. However, because of poor road condit ions, only three of the five units have received the items to date. The other two will receive assistance once roads are accessible.

Water and sanitation: The Federation water and sanitation team is extending its support to the Allai Valley (including Besham) and Kohistan district to complement the efforts of the relief team’s intensive winter distribution plan. In both areas, water and sanitation facilities will be set up for the Federation/PRCS teams working at the Rubb halls and for the 20 basic health care units currently being established in the Batagram, Shangla and Besham areas.

Meanwhile, the Austrian/Swedish and Austrian/German Red Cross emergency response units, in Batagram and Balakot respectively, are maintaining a constant level of production of potable water for more than 30,000 people in the two areas. Hygiene promotion activities are continuing in both towns, with the distribution of hygiene kits, hygiene education and the establishment of a network of hygiene promoters.

Psycho-social programme (PSP): The Federation/Danish Red Cross PSP activity and training modules have been completed and a training schedule for nurses at the AMC finalized. In the first phase of the programme, the Federation will start activities in three camps in Havelian, Meera and Garhi Habibullah. The PSP program in Islamabad will follow on from this.

The Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS) PSP team in Islamabad has provided psychosocial first aid and community participation training to 50 volunteers enabling them to provide support to patients at Rawalpindi Hospital.

Various activities have been organized by the TRCS for children living in tent camps including a painting contest for 119 children in TA Chela Bandi camp, puzzle activities for 59 children at the Tariq Abad camp, and dance and drama sessions for 308 students at the Mera Tanolia camp. As part of these activities, school bags, toys and chocolate were distributed to the children who were also provided with information on psychosocial support, hygiene and health. The TRCS has printed 10,000 brochures in Urdu entitled “How can we help children cope with a traumatic event” for distribution in the TRCS supported tent camps in Islamabad and Muzaffarabad. In total, some 926 people have been assisted with psychological first aid, group and individual counseling, and social activities in Mera Tanolia, Chela Bandi, Tariq Abad, Thuri Park and Jalalabad camps.

3. Logistics/IT/Telecommunications

Objective: The ongoing PRCS and Federation relief operation have efficient logistical, IT and telecommunications infrastructure in the operational are as.
