Description of shock:

This caseload is the continuation of caseload D-032 related to an alert raised on 6 July through the petition system. Since 10 June 2020, fighting between Armed Opposition Groups (AOGs) and Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) in Khwajaghar, Yangi qala, Dashte qala, Khowaja bahawoddin, Chahab, Namakab, Taloqan, Bangi, Baharak and Farkhar districts of Takhar province resulted in the displacement of several HHs to safe areas of Taloqan city of Takhar province. Following the raising of the alert on 06 July 2020, an OCT meeting was held on the same day in order to plan the assessment. Following the completion of the assessment under D-032 on 20 July, the same four Joint Assessment Teams (JATs) formed by ACTED, SFL, IDS/WFP, DACAAR, NATURE/CONCERN WW and local DoRR continued to conduct the assessment under this new caseload from 22 July to 20 August 2020. During this timeframe, 926 HHs were initially pre-screened whose 210 HHs were identified as potentially eligible to receive humanitarian assistance and assessed through the HEAT tool. Following data analysis and verification process, 191 HHs were found eligible to receive ERM lifesaving assistance. Based on OCHA’s field coordination, it was agreed that WFP will cover the needs of two months’ food, CONCERN WW will provide the NFI kits, DACAAR will provide hygiene package for all 210 HHs. ACTED will distribute 9,000 AFN for MPCA per HH for a total of 191 HHs.
