NEWS HEADLINES DETAILS Protection cluster return It is believed that most of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) fighters have fled to Kurram in monitoring of Alisherzai the wake of military operation in the adjacent Khyber, Orakzai and South Waziristan agencies in 2011. Kurram is home to a significant number of Shia minorities, concentrated mainly in the return to central Kurrum, Upper and partly in Central Kurram, with a history of intermittent violent conflict along sectarian April 2014 lines. It has also frequently been a crossing point for Taliban fighters moving between Pakistan Relief Web, 28th April 2014 and Afghanistan, prompting sustained military operations. These activities often trigger displacement of civilian populations within Kurram agency and outward into the neighboring districts. For example, many families were displaced from Upper and Lower to Central Kurram due to sectarian conflict. Sizeable population from Central Kurram, largely from Alisherzai tribe, was also displaced to Lower Kurram and into the adjacent districts of Hangu, Kohat and Peshawar due to military operation in 2011. According to UNHCR database, a total of 4549 IDP families (20,114 individuals) from Alisherzai tribe were registered and are being assisted in New Durani camp and in Peshawar, Kohat, Hangu and DI Khan districts. Of this total, 1366 families live in New Durrani camp and 3,183 in off-camp settlements. In January 2014, 50 tehsils were de-notified by the Government of Pakistan and declared safe for IDP return. In the Return Task Force (RTF) meeting held on 16.1.2014, the return of Alisherzai was agreed upon. The protection cluster, fulfilling its mandate as per the return SOPs, conducted a Return Intention Survey (RIS) to assess the voluntary nature of the intention to return and their overall preparedness. Subsequently, the cluster has also continuously undertaken return monitoring exercises at embarkation point in New Durrani camp. This report covers the last of the monitoring surveys. Polio this week - as of 23 Pakistan continues to be the country with most polio cases in the world this year. This week, April 2014 five new cases were reported (two wild poliovirus type 1 – WPV1, and three circulating Relief Web, 23rd April, 2014 vaccine-derived poliovirus type 2 – cVDPV2). Four of the cases are from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and one is from Gadap, greater Karachi. Rain, hailstorm hit Thar, UMERKOT: Rain and hailstorm hit Umerkot, Chhore and Mithi, the first pre-monsoon showers Khairpur in the drought-stricken Thar desert, and Khairpur on Monday. While the rain turned the Daily Dawn, 22nd April, 2014 weather pleasant in desert areas, it also damaged the standing wheat crop and the harvested grain lying in fields. Light showers, accompanied by strong winds and hailstones, hit a few villages in Nagarparkar and Islamkot talukas on Saturday evening as well as on Sunday night, uprooting scores of trees and damaging thatched houses. The hailstones caused death of scores of goats, peacocks and other birds in Piluro, Lunio Sama, Gori, Murid Taar, Libo, Siranghu, Dhinkario, Hothi jo Taar and other villages. “The rainfall is untimely yet it is hoped it will help the grass grow which is much needed for starving cattle during this drought spell,” said a grower. Rain and rainstorm lashed Nara taluka area for more than an hour. The villages of Qadir Wari area, Jummo Tarr and desert area of the taluka were hit by the rain and hailstones. A drizzle continued in the areas till the filing of this report. Diseases turn into disaster KARACHI: Low nutrition and polluted water have badly affected health of people in Thar, in Thar due to water particularly women and children, and the situation has turned so worst that diseases have turned into a disaster, said Tanveer Arif, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Society for pollution, malnutrition Conservation and Protection of Environment (SCOPE) in an interview to PPI on Sunday. Pak Express Tribune, 21st April, 2014 The baseline health facilities are lower than required standard. The inadequate facilities have raised the problems facing people in Thar. This is because of the fact that the government approach is short-term as it usually responds when emergency strikes and take actions to defend itself, says Scope CEO. He further said: It is not only Thar which is hit by these issues, but other areas of the country like Achhro Thar, Cholistan, Balochistan and FATA are also worst hit in this regard. Thar is not totally ignored as in 2000, there were major developments like laying of road network, launching of mobile networks and provision of piped water to the people of Thar. However, region is huge, population is scattered, and infrastructure is still poor, he added. NGOs have their own priorities. Government provide infrastructure, district regimes work at UC level and NGOs deliver at village level. If one of them does not work, whole system can fail, he noted. As compare to population of 1.3 million in Thar, health facilities are inadequate. Hence, there is need to establish more hospitals in all talukas and health centers in villages of this desert area of Sindh. Climate change is visibly affecting the region in form of changed rainy patterns, frequent droughts, and effect on natural resources, cropping pattern, he said. We should not always seek scapegoats all the time. Thar is a difficult area as people are too many and scattered with their own pastoral lifestyle. The governance in this area is as bad as in Cholistan or Balochistan, where resources are lacking. To tackle climate change and other issues facing Thar, Tanveer said that long-term projects are needed to be launched in Thar and ensure dependable sources of water in form of canals, more water resources, large rainwater harvesting ponds, drought resistant agriculture, more roads, effective livestock management system. When income will rise in this region, other issues will also be resolved, he said. There are some people who make money from short-term measures. There is need to first build major infrastructure like building a canal from Naukot and spread water courses and remodel water ponds into large and deep water collection ponds, Tanveer said. He also stressed the need to provide more water supply schemes with filtration plants, besides developing livestock marketing system so that people of the area could get good income and pass life without any trouble. Thar Desert is also known as the Great Indian Desert) and is a large, arid region in the north-western part of the Indian subcontinent and forms a natural boundary running along the border between India and Pakistan. With an area of more than 200,000 km2, within the Indian state of Rajasthan, covering the districts of Jaisalmer, Barmer, Bikaner and Jodhpur, and some region of the states of Punjab, Haryana and Gujarat. It is the

world's 18th largest subtropical desert.Tharparkar is the only fertile desert in the world. The region derives its names from Thar and Parkar. The name Thar is from Thul, the general term for sand region or sand ridges and Parkar literary means to cross over. The region was earlier known as Thar and Parkar, later they became one word. Gunmen kill five policemen PESHAWAR: Unidentified gunmen killed five police officers on patrol in Pakistan's troubled in northwest Pakistan northwest late Monday, police said. A civilian driving a passing car was also killed, with two policemen and another civilian left wounded in the attack in the town of Badaber, a flashpoint ambush for violence in the district of Peshawar. "(An) unknown number of attackers ambushed the Relief Web, 21st April 2014 police patrol, five policemen and a driver of a private vehicle have been killed," senior police

official Najeeb Ur Rehman told AFP. "When policemen tried to move to a safer place another group of attackers opened fire from that side," Rehman said, adding the attackers then fled the scene. Mohammad Ijaz Khan, police chief for Peshawar, confirmed the incident, which took place close to the semi-autonomous tribal belt where Taliban and Al-Qaeda-linked groups are active. The incident took place days after Pakistani Taliban refused to extend a ceasefire that began on March 1 to help a long-stalled peace process, complaining of a lack of movement from the government side. The Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) announced a one-month ceasefire at the start of March as the government sought a negotiated end to their bloody seven-year insurgency. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's government began negotiations with the TTP through intermediaries in February to try to end the Islamists' insurgency. Since the TTP's fight began in 2007, more than 6,800 people have been killed in bomb and gun attacks around Pakistan, according to an AFP tally. Polio drive postponed for KARACHI: The health authorities postponed the ninth round of one-day special polio want of security campaign on Sunday in ‘sensitive’ neighbourhoods of the city for a week as they could not get Daily Dawn, 21st April, 2014 the security cover for host of reasons, officials said on Sunday. The special campaign on Sundays was launched two months ago especially to target areas where children had missed out polio boosters because of security situation. “We could not continue with our schedule of Sunday campaigns because we could not get the security cover from authorities,” said a senior official in the provincial health department. He said the city was already in chaos because of an attack on known journalist Hamid Mir and arrival of former military ruler retired Gen Pervez Musharraf. A large number of security personnel were already assigned security duties for a visit of the prime minister, who was expected to arrive late in the evening, and keeping in view the limited number of security personnel it would be difficult to provide security to vaccinators, officials said. The officials said they had been targeting more than half-a-million children in every campaign, in which they targeted some other areas apart from those they had publicised in a bid to enhance their efforts to end the scourge of the disease. The areas, which were to be covered included Gadap UC 4, 5 and 8, Gulshan UC 10, 11, 12 and 13, Baldia UC 1, 2, 3 and 4, Orangi UC 1, 2 and 13, SITE UC 7, 8 and 9, Bin Qasim UC 2, 3 and 4, Landhi UC 1 and 2, Saddar UC 9 and Gulberg UC 8. Flood damages houses in KOHAT: The rains continuing in Hangu and Orakzai Agency for five days have flooded the Kohat Kohat Toi natural stream and thus, inundating dozens of houses in Hafizabad area in Kohat. Daily Dawn, 19th April,2014 Kohat Toi originates in Orakzai Agency. The rain water damaged the people’s belongings and forced residents to move out. According to locals, a former MNA had occupied Kohat Toi section in Hafizabad area before selling plots on it. Also, cultivation of orchards in its way shortened the natural stream’s width. They, however, insisted their repeated requests to the administration for crackdown on encroachers fell on deaf ears. The stream bursts its banks every year and flooding nearby areas. The local residents demanded strict action against illegal sellers and buyers of land on the course of stream to ensure smooth flow of water. They complained that no official or volunteers came to their help and therefore, they had to vacate houses on their own. Aid distributed to people ISLAMABAD: In keeping with the directives of President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin affected by drought in Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE Project to Aid Pakistan has announced distribution of 1,500 tons of food relief to 20,000 drough - affected families in Tharparkar district of Pakistan's Sindh Pakistan Province. The management of the project said that Sheikh Khalifa's initiative was the first Emirates News Agency,19th April, international humanitarian response to the sever drought which hit region and affected over 1.2 2014 million people there. The Government of Pakistan announced last month that 116 children died in the drought-hit Tharparkar district due to malnutrition and poor healthcare facilities. Is Pakistan equipped to It has barely been a day and a half since earthquake tremors jolted all the major urban cities of manage a natural disaster? Pakistan and our media’s super short attention span has already managed to shift to other so- The Express Tribune 17th April, 2014 called important matters. Have we not suffered enough of nature’s wrath in the last decade to be paying a little more attention to Pakistan’s disaster management capabilities? A few examples of such disasters that shook the nation as a whole are: the earthquake of 2005, the Balochistan floods of 2009 and the monsoon flooding of the Indus in 2010 and 2011. These disasters appear to have slipped into oblivion. The image of the debris of Margalla Towers in Islamabad has all but faded from our collective memory and been kept aside. We have witnessed episode after episode of tragic natural disasters but we are yet to wake up from our deep slumber. Perhaps the magnitude of our laziness is greater than the magnitude of these disasters. What is surprising is that the most this entire nation has come up with is calling muftis on news channels to deliver sermons on God’s wrath and the sorry state of our generation. I question, what have we truly done? Is it sufficient enough to view these disasters as ‘natural’ and therefore completely out of our control?

Will recounting divine stories of the destruction of previous ummahs (Muslim generations) bring any succour to the families of those Pakistanis who perished in this last earthquake? Will reciting ayats and astaghfar (forgiveness) in the assemblies help our beleaguered nation? The civilians in the country are already doing that but they are looking up to those in the assembly and Parliament to answer questions of faulty infrastructure, a flawed flood relief plan and a non-existent rehabilitation centre for victims of natural disasters! When will we come out of our ludicrous state of inaction to mitigate the destruction from these accidents of nature? We have lost thousands of lives and infrastructure worth billions of dollars and yet all we have to respond is an inadequate National Disaster Management Act which has created a thoroughly incompetent National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). In all the past cases of nature’s fury unleashed upon Pakistan, our NDMA has only achieved consistent absence from every site of destruction and only ad hoc and piecemeal measures have characterised each effort of response. After the phenomenal success of National Logistics Cell (NLC), Fauji Fertilisers and Malik Riaz’s Bahria Town maybe NDMA too is another endeavour to accommodate bored and jobless, retired generals and military officers. Our past democratic government achieved the distinction of possessing a cabinet with over 50 ministers but in this act of doling out government riches and patronage to political allies the creation of a separate Disaster Management Ministry eluded the political wheeling dealing. Even the dry numbers of economics and budget deficits would shed a light on the necessity of such desperate and novel measures in desperate times to achieve some semblance of action and coordination when a natural disaster strikes. In another piece of breaking news the defence budget numbers have been reported to go up by 13% whereas a 2011 report on NDMA stated the organisation’s budget to be a paltry Rs65 million! Whoa! Our TV screens are now overflowing with lions, arrows and cricket bats promising rivers of milk and honey for Pakistan after the next elections. Every party’s manifesto addresses the party’s focus on the national issues of GDP growth, unemployment, load shedding, terrorism, education, health, provincial autonomy and what not but not a single of these manifestos highlights the alarming state of disaster management in Pakistan. A talk show debate on rationalising and improving the disaster management capacity of the country is far less enticing for media viewer ratings than organising and shouting contests for parliamentarians or reporting the gory details of another terrorist or drone attack. But for now, a dose of astaghfar will suffice to shield a 21st century Pakistan from the fury of nature because if dozens die, so what? It is out of our control. Building back better in In 2012 monsoon floods in Pakistan affected 2.5 million households across southern Punjab Sindh and Sindh province for the third time. Most of the affected communities are socio-economically Relief web, 16th April, 2014 disadvantaged with most households involved in farming or other agricultural activities. The floods caused widespread damage at the household level at a point when many families were living in poorly reconstructed shelters after consecutive years of flooding. As a result, some of the most vulnerable families were back to where they started from when the floods first hit the area in 2010. To provide durable shelter solutions to the affected communities, many of whom were still in need of shelter support, ACTED’s teams, with the support of OFDA, worked in Jacobabad and Kashmore districts in northern Sindh and helped build 1,000 cost-effective, good quality shelters integrated with disaster risk resilience measures to prevent future damage. Using the ‘building it back better’ approach, ACTED was able to meet the emergency shelter needs of 1,000 vulnerable, flood-affected families while ensuring the sustainability of the assistance. Rs4bn for rebuilding houses QUETTA: The Planning Commission of Pakistan has approved an allocation of Rs4 billion for in Awaran the reconstruction of 16,000 houses in the earthquake-hit areas of Balochistan’s Awaran Daily Dawn 15th April, 2014 district. Strong earthquakes struck the entire district twice — on Sept 24 and 28 last year — leaving thousands of people homeless, entire settlements destroyed and over 500 people dead and 700 injured. The Central Development Working Party (CDWP), which met on Friday, also approved the project. The provincial government will launch the reconstruction on May 1. “A project director has been appointed by the provincial government to implement the plan,” Balochistan Chief Secretary Babar Yaqoob Fateh Muhammad told Daily Dawn. According to the plan, 80 per cent of the funds will be spent on the construction of housing units and 20pc on providing solar energy. According to sources, the government will provide Rs220,000 each to those whose houses collapsed in the earthquake. “The affected families will rebuild their houses with the funds provided by the federal government in accordance with their own designs and wishes,” the chief secretary said, adding that Project Director Aziz Jamali would supervise the work. He said the owners would be provided funds for the portions of their homes completed. “Solar energy panels will be installed on the newly-built houses because the entire district is not linked with the national grid.” He said the provincial government would monitor the reconstruction and ensure quality. The project is expected to create job opportunities for thousands of local labourers, besides boosting the business of construction material. Dengue alert: Pre-monsoon ISLAMABAD: Health experts warned of the potential threat of an outbreak of dengue fever in rain to heighten risk of the capital in view of a prediction of a prolonged pre-monsoon rain spell this year. Officials from the Capital Administration and Development Division (CADD), Directorate of Health Services dengue outbreak (DHS) Capital Development Authority (CDA) and the Islamabad Capital Territory (ICT) said the Express Tribune, 15th April, 2014 federal government was all set to take measures to prevent its spread at a joint press conference on Monday. The focus would be on high-risk places from where dengue fever cases were reported last year, including areas surrounding IJ Principal Road, sector G series, and slums. CDA and ICT will make sure there are no illegal dumping sites in the capital. From

May onwards, a mass awareness campaign will be launched to help prevent dengue fever and publicise its treatment. A rainy spell from May till July predicted by the Pakistan Metrological Department will provide a conducive environment for dengue mosquitoes to breed. According to CDA Health Services Director Dr Hasan Urooj, 70 to 100 per cent humidity and 25 to 30 degrees Celsius is ideal. “DHS has completed high-risk mapping of the capital and in the coming days the highlighted areas will be actively monitored and preventive measures will be taken to control its spread.” Around 4,500 samples have been collected from potential breeding sites out of which none has tested positive, Dr Urooj stated. “It is a fact that there are favourable conditions for dengue mosquitoes to breed sites in our homes.” Fountains will continue to be operational this year because mosquitoes do not breed there, he added. CADD Parliamentary Secretary Raja Muhammad Javed Ikhlas said, “A federal coordination cell has been established for the control and prevention of dengue fever that will work around the clock.” Laboratory equipment for the detection of dengue fever worth Rs28 million will be procured for Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences and Polyclinic Hospital, he added. “All public and private hospitals in the capital have been directed to establish a separate ward for the treatment of dengue patients.” Previously, there was lack of coordination between the departments and delays which created difficulties in tackling the disease, he said. Ikhlas emphasised the need for effective solid waste management strategies for rural and urban areas. Last year, 225 positive cases of dengue fever were reported from Islamabad out of which 50 were from the city. CADD Health Adviser Dr Yaqoob Qureshi informed the media that a three-year Prime Minister’s Initiative for Management of Dengue Fever and Pollen Allergy worth Rs49 million would end in June .“We plan to request an extension.” Dr Qureshi was nominated as the focal person for dengue. Hazards: Climate change KARACHI: Climate change is devastating all arid areas of Sindh including Chahcro, Kohistan, cause of devastation Kachho, Nara region, Achro Thar and Tharparkar and is causing reduction in rains, drinking Express Tribune, 14th April, 2014 water, grazing fields and livestock. Society for Environmental Action, Re-Construction and Humanitarian response (SEARCH) executive director Waheed Jamali said that fluoride contamination of the underground water sources in Chachro and other areas of Thar desert has led to grave health problems. Jamali said that excessive consumption of fluoride may lead to increased likelihood of bone fractures in adults. He added that children aged eight years and younger, who are exposed to excessive amounts of fluoride have an increased chance of developing pits in their tooth enamel, along with a range of other problems to their teeth. The government needs to install water filter plants to ensure safe drinking water to the people of Kohistan, Kachho and Nara as they are badly affected by climate change. Risks to coastal KARACHI: Highlighting serious risks to coastal communities due to climate change, a position communities by climate paper launched on Thursday at a local hotel calls upon the government to immediately start mapping of coastal land, determine zones of risk, exposure and vulnerability and link mapping change highlighted with profiling of the people and assets in the ‘risk zones’ for formulating policies and Daily Dawn,11th April, 2014 frameworks for resilience building. It identifies Thatta and Badin as two major hazard-prone districts of Sindh while Karachi as an area that posed the most critical challenge in terms of building coastal resilience. The paper, Building Resilience Framework for Pakistan’s Coastal Areas, has been prepared by the Friends of Indus Forum (FIF). The World Wide Fund for Nature-Pakistan (WWF-P) under its climate change adaptation project had collaborated in the paper’s launch. The paper cites findings of the 2010 report of the Task Force Report on Climate Change prepared by the Planning Commission of Pakistan and says that the coastal areas are vulnerable for two reasons: rise in sea level and increased frequency and intensity of tropical cyclones. On the former phenomenon, it refers to the studies conducted by the National Institute of Oceanography (NIO) and points out that the sea level along the coast of Pakistan has been rising approximately at 1.2 mm per year, in agreement with the average global rise of 1.5 mm per year since 1960. “There are concerns that coastal zones and marine ecosystems, in particular the Indus delta, could be damaged from increased saline water intrusion due to sea level rise and increased storm events. The NIO research indicates that ground subsidence rates in the Indus deltaic region due to lock of sediment flux and excessive ground water extraction are probably in the range 2-4 mm per year. “Ground subsidence has already resulted in the seawater intrusion upstream of the delta extending up to 80km in the coastal areas of Thatta, Hyderabad and Badin districts,” it says. The paper provides a timeline of major disasters in recent years, including the cyclone in 1964/65, heavy rainfall in 1973, floods during 1988, torrential rainfall in 1994, the cyclone in 1999, an earthquake in 2001 and floods in 2003. “The most critical challenge posed in terms of coastal resilience for Pakistan can be found within the teeming megacity of Karachi. The commercial and industrial hub of Pakistan with a population estimated to be in the region of about 20m, Karachi exhibits significant ‘vulnerabilities’ both in terms of ‘people’ and ‘assets’. “As for communities located in the immediate risk zone, the most significant human settlements both in terms of their exposure and vulnerability are the fishing communities residing in villages dotted along the Karachi coast,” it says, adding that a key area of concern for Karachi city planners could be the major residential, business and recreation areas being constructed along the waterfront land. On impediments to resilience building, the paper says that currently no umbrella legislation exists, which protects coastal and marine resources in general or any specific area of ecological significance. “Besides, there is no effective ‘institutional and legislative space’ for coordination and decision making among the various coastal and land-based agencies. There are serious inadequacies in research documentation, accurately profiling the ‘communities’ and ‘state of the coastal ecosystems,” said Farhan Anwar, author of the report, while giving a presentation on his work. According to Mr Anwar, coastal erosion, degradation of coastal and marine ecosystems and habitats, declining water quality, pollution, over-exploitation of coastal resources and low level

of institutional and legislative capability for integrated coastal area management are some major issues being faced along Balochistan coast. Earlier sharing his views, MPA Haji Shafi Jamot opposed the selling of coastal land and islands for any commercial venture and urged the government to withdraw the Zulfikarabad project. Minister for Environment and Coastal Development Dr Sikander Mandhro, Mohammad Ali Shah of Pakistan Fisherfolk Forum, MPA Haji Shafi Jamot, Ali Dehlavi of WWF-P, Ghulam Qadir Shah of International Union for Conservation of Nature, Nasir Ali Panhwar of FIF and Naseer Memon of Strengthening Participatory Organisation also spoke.

K-P Health Department also confirmed the new case, 2014 adding that so far six cases have been reported from the province. A health department official said the latest polio victim, Sumaira, daughter of Zahidullah, is 10 months old and hails from Mumbati Barakzai village, Bannu tehsil. The child had not received a single dose of the oral polio vaccine. Moreover, he revealed that the number of polio cases were six in April last year in contrast to 40 this year. This reflects a 700 per cent increase in the number, he added. Pakistan is only 18 cases away from crossing the total number of reported cases of 2012 (in

which 58 cases were reported in all) and 53 cases away from last year’s toll of 93. During this year, 33 cases have been reported from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata) so far, of which 30 are from North Waziristan Agency, one from South Waziristan, one from Khyber and one from Frontier Region (FR) Bannu. K-P Health Minister Shahram Khan Tarkai chaired a meeting on Thursday in which the upcoming round of Sehat Ka Insaf was discussed. The round will be conducted in the districts of Peshawar, Mardan, Swabi and Charsadda. The health department concluded in the meeting that around 1.7 million children in the mentioned districts would be vaccinated by 20,000 teams of health workers. Disaster-management: ISLAMABAD: Disaster risk reduction should be incorporated in planning processes at every Experts for research in administrative tier. But in order to achieve this objective, the country has to first compile disaster vulnerability assessments, coordinate its scientific research efforts and create a geosciences to minimise general awareness among administrators to think ahead in terms of natural disaster risks preparedness. The Express Tribune, 3rd April, 2014 Speakers echoed these thoughts at a national forum on geosciences and disaster risk reduction here on Wednesday, organised by the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) in collaboration with Germany’s Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). The forum was attended by representatives of GSP, BGR, the Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD), the Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) and UN agencies as well as national and provincial disaster management officials. The forum aims at bringing different research organisations together to discuss disaster prediction and mitigation measures, GSP Director-General Dr Imran Khan said. Natural disasters cause loss of lives and infrastructure every year. Pakistani research organisations can, however, lobby decision makers to implement policies to ultimately save lives and avoid financial losses, he suggested. But first, these organisations have to join hands and work together across disciplines. “We are promoting here a common platform from where we can suggest a strategy for disaster risk reduction,” Khan said. “The concept is to save Pakistan, because if there is no Pakistan, there are no us.” Representatives of different organisations through presentations shared their respective work on disaster risk reduction. Dr Adnan Alam Awan, who is the GSP project manager for the Pak-German technical collaboration, said Pak-German cooperation has led to the development of a national landslide inventory database. Awan said more support from the government and international agencies is required for completing research on all hazard prone areas of the country. Iftikhar Bhatti, General Manager, SUPARCO, said satellite imagery is being used in Pakistan for post-disaster damage assessment and crop estimation among other similar analyses. Another initiative highlighted during the presentations was the landslide susceptibility map for Mansehra district prepared under the Geohazard Assessment Project for Northern Pakistan, a joint initiative of GSP and BGR. The pilot project, being carried out in Mansehra since 2009, is currently in its second implementation phase and will end this year. “The aim of the project is to use the technical information from GSP, especially concerning landslides, for mitigation purposes,” said Dr Arne Hoffman-Rothe, the Head of Unit Asia and Oceania at BGR. Rothe, himself a geologist, said the project is also looking at the way information on disaster risks is interpreted by community and local administrators and the way it can be used in spatial planning to minimize damages from landslides. He said he hopes the pilot project will lead to a broader view within Pakistan where the role of the provincial disaster management authorities is strengthened and implementation mechanisms are made effective. Annette Lisy, BGR’s project manager for the geohazard project, said the destruction of infrastructure in natural disasters means money that could be spent on improving service delivery gets spent on rebuilding. Lisy said it is important that the planning processes in Pakistan be equipped to provide focused interventions in disaster-prone areas. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) also wants to mainstream disaster risk reduction in planning processes, said Idrees Mahsud, the NDMA’s director for disaster risk reduction. With around $16 billion of losses caused by natural disasters in Pakistan during the past few years, Mahsud said the NDMA has “shifted from a response-centric approach to a proactive approach” towards natural disasters. But Pakistan needs to climb through preliminary rungs of the ladder before introducing mitigation schemes in planning. Mahsud said the progression starts from conducting risk assessment, on which a national working group is currently working and which the NDMA also counts on among 10 priority areas for its 10-year, $1.04 billion national disaster risk reduction master plan. Once the risk assessment is complete, its findings will inform areas such as land use planning and building codes and lead to strategic planning that incorporates disaster risk reduction, Mahsud said. Health woes: Govt admits it KARACHI: The Sindh government says it does not have access to approximately 55 per cent cannot access 55% of of the drought-hit district of the province, admitting that short-term policies are being adopted to drought-hit areas overcome the situation in Tharparkar. “Tharparkar is the most difficult district for the health nd department,” said the provincial health secretary Iqbal Hussain Durrani. “Socio-economic Express Tribune , 2 April , 2014 issues in the district have made the situation dismal. Most of the areas lack infrastructure and medical officers don’t want to serve in Tharparkar.” Durrani revealed that the government had issued warning notices to more than 400 medical officers. “Malnutrition does exist among the children and mothers in the district,” he admitted. He made these disclosures during a press briefing at the Karachi Press Club (KPC) on Tuesday. He was joined by other health officials, including Karachi EDO Dr Zafar Ejaz, who said that it was a challenge for him and his team to fix the health-related issues in the most difficult area of the province. “We will replicate the strategy in other parts of the province once we overcome the situation in Tharparkar.” “The overall [health] coverage is poor, not just in Tharparkar, Thatta and Sanghar, but all over the country. Birth rates are high in the desert while mothers are anaemic,” said Durrani. Compared to the deserts of Iran and Saudi Arabia, he said Sindh’s desert lacked infrastructure, claiming

that it was the main reason for the lack of health facilities. The top health official in the province, who deals with all matters as there is no health minister in Sindh, said that pregnant women and children below the age of two years, were being targeted in 20 out of 44 union councils (UCs) to tackle the issue of malnutrition. “This is the only immediate solution. The remaining UCs will also be covered soon.” Speaking about the unavailability of health facilities to pregnant women, Durrani claimed that traditional midwives were the preferred ‘doctors’ for married women. “About 87 per cent of the births are handled by these women. We are trying to collect the data and will train them,” he announced. Durrani said that the access of midwives, lady health workers and lady health visitors will be enhanced in remote areas to resolve basic issues during births. He criticised senior health officials for not responding promptly to health-related issues in drought-hit areas. “They should have responded immediately,” he said, while accepting negligence on their part. Durrani said that out of 24 doctors who were appointed soon after the crises, only eight showed up for duty in the Mithi hospital. “We all need to show commitment towards our jobs,” he stressed.Durrani assured complete support to journalists from his department, saying that the clinic located in the premises of the KPC will be improved. He said that the process of screening all members of the KPC will be initiated next week. “The members will be given screening cards and specialists will visit the clinic weekly for treatment of various diseases and conditions, including hypertension.” Japan to assist Pakistan in ISLAMABAD: Japan has expressed willingness to assist Pakistan in agriculture and disaster Disaster Management, management. The offer came during ‘Eighth Round of Bilateral Political Consultations’ between the two countries in Islamabad on Tuesday. Pakistan delegation was led by Foreign Agriculture Secretary Aizaz Ahmad Chaudhry while the Japanese side was headed by Deputy Minister for ePakistan News 1st April , 2014 Foreign Affairs Shinsuke Sugiyama. The two sides reviewed the whole gamut of bilateral

relations and discussed prospects of enhancing cooperation in diverse areas of bilateral interest. Special focus was placed on enhancing investments in energy sector and infrastructure development in Pakistan.

Pakistan: New homes for Asho Mai, 50, lived with her family of nine in a one-room house in Rajanpur District, in Pakistan’s north-western Punjab Province. Her husband rented a small farm where he grew Punjab’s poorest cotton, earning enough to support the family’s simple life. UNOCHA, 25 April, 2014 “We had a mud house, a livelihood and a content life,” said Asho. She explained that life was difficult, but no more difficult than village communities in rural Pakistan are used to. However, in August 2013, heavy monsoon rains triggered flooding across Punjab. Torrents of water ran down the steep Punjabi hillsides, washing away homes and farms. “Our small house with our belongings was swept away,” said Asho. “My husband lost his cotton crop and we had to move away to a safer place.” A tent and thankless labour Almost 800,000 people in Punjab were affected by the floods. Asho and her family received a tent from the Italian NGO CESVI, and she and her husband took work as unskilled labourers. But the income was small and not enough to support the whole family. The tent, though appreciated, was also a concern. It was not big enough to house a large family of nine, and it provided poor protection against the severe Punjabi sun and rain. Asho’s teenage daughters complained of a lack of privacy. So, with her meagre income, Asho saved and hoped to build a house one day. Sense of safety One day, Asho heard from neighbours that CESVI was planning to provide small, one-room homes for some of the poorest families affected by the floods. The project was being financed by the OCHA-managed Emergency Response Fund (ERF). The ERF provides rapid and flexible funding following a disaster, or when funding from other sources is not forthcoming. Asho’s family was soon identified by the CESVI team. They received materials for a semi- permanent one-room shelter, as well as training in construction and additional skilled labour to help them build the small house. Asho and her family were excited when they finally moved in. “The raised plinths will be very beneficial for us if floods surround us again,” she said. “We will be able to survive [and] our food and living material will also be safe. This new shelter has given us a sense of safety in our minds.” Asho now plans to build a boundary wall around the house. Most importantly, having this new home means she can use her savings for her family’s needs, including education and health. National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA)

Situation Survey on Polio AMDA started a situation survey on Polio eradication activity in Pakistan since September, 2013 Eradication Activity in with Chigasaki Chuo Rotary Club, which have been the supporter for polio eradication. Pakistan For the first survey in September, AMDA staff visited Thatta District in the Sindh Province of Pakistan located approximately 100km east from Karachi, the major city in Southern Pakistan, AMDA International April 18, 2014 with the support from a local NGO NRSP(National Rural Support Programme) and collected

information on polio campaign. After hearing from officials and local NGO staff involved in Polio eradication activities, it turned out that Polio immunization coverage has not reached 100%, and the part of the reason is due to lack of Lady Health Workers who function as similar to community health visiting nurse. Lectures by religious leaders, educational sessions and monitoring on polio eradication activities were some good practice of the activities implemented in Thatta District. From January 20th to 24th, three Chigasaki Chuo Rotary Club members, AMDA group president, and AMDA staff from Japan visited Pakistan to collect further information on Polio eradication activities. The group visited the Embassy of Japan in Islamabad, Prime Minister's office, local NGO NRSP office and they were able to obtain information on current Polio situation, challenges towards eradication and plans from government and international organization officials, NGO staff, and local staff. Many of Polio cases reported in the area facing national border in west side such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, FATA, and Balochistan. However, it is challenging to immunize children in those areas due to security reasons. Thus, immunizing all children passing the major transit points have been enforced to prevent polio to be spread out in different areas. Now, AMDA in partnership with Chigasaki Chuo Rotary Club and NRSP is planning "Family Health Education Program" involving the entire community not only educating on Polio but also on other health topics to disseminate proper knowledge for preventing families from common diseases. United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Afairs (UNOCHA) Over 20,000 IDPs return to Returnees require assistance to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. More than 20,000 displaced people (3,800 families) returned to their villages in the Alisherzai area in central Kurram Agency Kurram Agency in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) from 2 to 14 April. The returnees had fled the OCHA 18 April,2014 area in 2011 due to sectarian violence. Government authorities and humanitarian partners facilitated the returns and provided assistance comprising food rations, emergency health care, non-food items, nutrition services, and other forms of support to the returnees. The FATA Disaster Management Authority distributed food packages provided by the United Arab Emirates to the returnees. Humanitarian partners monitored the returns to ensure they were voluntary, safe, dignified and conducted in accordance with humanitarian principles. Further support will be needed by the returnees if they are to rebuild their lives. An estimated 76,000 displaced people have now returned to FATA during the past six months, including nearly 56,000 people who returned to the Tirah Valley in Khyber Agency late last year during the first phase of returns facilitated by the Government and humanitarian partners.The second phase of returns to the valley is slated for late April, with the Government targeting to return 51,000 people (8,500 families) in the coming weeks. Findings of assessments by humanitarian partners indicate most IDPs are willing to return home, as the security situation in their areas of origin has improved, and the Government is rehabilitating damaged infrastructure such as health and education facilities.More than 80 per cent of houses in the Tirah Valley were either damaged or destroyed during hostilities last year, according to assessment findings. More funds needed for Resource constraints are affecting the provision of assistance to returnees and the 1 million people who remain displaced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and FATA, as humanitarian partners humanitarian aid to are running out of funds for critical activities from this month onwards. Without greater support, returnees and IDPs key organizations providing relief will not be able to provide shelter assistance to the families OCHA 18 April,2014 planning to return to the Tirah Valley. Food rations may be halved in May unless the first tranche of the 150,000 metric tons of wheat expected from the Government or additional funds from other donors are received soon. In addition, primary health-care services will be interrupted; life- saving treatment for malnourished children and pregnant and lactating women will be scaled back; and education for many children will cease. The table below illustrates the funding required to continue to provide assistance to the returnees and IDPs until the end of the year. Partners seek to $12 million needed to scale up support to over 1.3 million people for a year Relief activities strengthen nutrition continue in drought-affected Tharparkar and surrounding districts in Sindh, with humanitarian agencies seeking more resources to scale up the response. Although humanitarian partners response have scaled up their nutrition support programmes, they are reaching only 25 per cent of the OCHA Humanitarian Bulletin 18 estimated 130,000 children who require life-saving nutrition support. Acute malnutrition rates April,2014 among the children are as high as 20 per cent, well above the emergency threshold of 15 per cent. Government authorities have distributed nearly 22,000 metric tons of food items, including wheat, rice and food packs; provided medical aid to 180,000 people; and vaccinated more than 3 million small animals. Humanitarian partners have provided food rations to 3,000 families; preventive blanket supplementary food to 23,000 children aged 6 to 23 months and 32,000 pregnant and lactating women; cash-for-work assistance to 1,000 families; 11,000 vaccines to the livestock department; and 68,000 fodder bags. Resources are urgently required to establish 44 community-based malnutrition treatment sites, provide emergency health services, build and rehabilitate water harvesting structures, enhance health and nutrition surveillance systems, and improve livelihoods.While ongoing relief efforts may alleviate immediate suffering in drought-hit Tharparkar and surrounding districts, sustainable development solutions are needed to tackle the root causes of chronic malnutrition in the affected areas. Partners implement common tool for food security analysis Partners continue to roll out the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) mechanism, a set of standardized and common tools for classifying the severity and magnitude of food insecurity, which remains a major cause of concern in Pakistan. Initiated in Pakistan in 2012, the IPC uses international standards that allow comparability of food security situations across regions and over time, based on outcomes on human lives and livelihoods. It classifies food security situations into five phases: generally food secure,

moderately/borderline food insecure, acute food and livelihood crisis, humanitarian emergency, and famine/humanitarian catastrophe. According to IPC analysis, several districts in drought- affected Sindh Province are in phases three and four, meaning they are either facing an acute food and livelihoods crisis or a food security-related humanitarian emergency. Pakistan: United Nations (Islamabad, 10 April 2014): The United Nations' Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) humanitarian fund releases has allocated US$9.5 million (920 million Pakistani rupees) to help meet the needs of the more than 1 million people who remain displaced in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Federally US$9.5 million for critical Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) in Pakistan due to insecurity. The funding comes at a crucial aid operations in North- time, as significant humanitarian needs remain in KP and FATA, yet aid agencies have limited Western Pakistan resources to meet those needs. "This money will save lives by ensuring that humanitarian organizations can continue to support the Government's efforts to help the most vulnerable men, UNOCHA 17 Apr 2014 women and children in KP and FATA,” said Timo Pakkala, the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in Pakistan. The funds will give life-saving food aid to 980,000 people; primary health care for 500,000 people; critical water, sanitation and hygiene services for 200,000 people; nutrition services for 65,000 people, including malnourished children; and emergency shelter and non-food items for 14,000 people. The UN estimates that some $283 million are required to maintain essential humanitarian services in KP and FATA this year. So far, $100 million have been received, leaving a considerable funding gap. “It is important to ensure that the basic humanitarian needs of displaced people and families returning to their homes in FATA continue to be met,” Pakkala said. Pakistan is the fourth-largest recipient of CERF funding globally at a total of $177.7 million since 2007 and the sixth-largest in 2014, having received 6.22 per cent of the $152.3 million allocated to date this year. The CERF is funded by voluntary contributions from UN Member States, non-governmental organizations, local governments, the private sector and individual donors. Since 2006,the CERF has allocated more than $3.4 billion for humanitarian operations in 88 countries and territories.

United Nations International Children Education Fund (UNICEF) ZonG and UNICEF join ISLAMABAD: As the number of polio cases in Pakistan reached 49 so far this year more hands to defeat Polio in partners come forward to protect the children and rid Pakistan and the world of the menace of the this debilitating disease. To create an enabling environment for polio eradication in Pakistan, Pakistan ZonG and UNICEF signed today a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on strengthening the Unicef, 16 April 2014 use of mobile phone messages to ensure more children are vaccinated during the polio campaign. The widespread usage and viability of cell phones across Pakistan provides great opportunity to reach out to communities who are most at risk of the disease. The mobile phone messages will especially target polio reservoirs to enhance knowledge to take informed decisions. The initiative is unique in character within polio eradication efforts and polio partnership in the health sector. “Through our strategic alliance with UNICEF, we want to make a positive impact in the life of every Pakistani child. As one of the major communication facilitators of Pakistan, ZonG underlines its commitment and responsibility to use its technological innovations to spread awareness about polio and strengthen families’ cooperation with the vaccination teams visiting their homes”, says Dr. Fan Yunjun, CEO, ZonG/ Chief Corporate and Government Sales. “Our partnership with ZonG will give the much needed impetus to the social mobilization and awareness raising programmes in support of polio vaccination in the virus circulation high risk areas.”, says Dan Rohrmann, UNICEF Representative in Pakistan. “This support and collaboration could not have come at a more critical time. Pakistan is one of only three countries in the world along with by Afghanistan and Nigeria where the crippling disease remains endemic. Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) Early Warning System for A Letter of Agreement (LoA) is signed between The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Pakistan Meteorological Department (PMD) on Monday at PMD Headquarter. The coming Monsoon LoA purpose of LOA is to strengthen the “Early Warnings Dissemination during coming monsoon” signed between PMD & under the Supporting Community Resilience (SCORE) Project”. The LoA was signed by Mr. UNDP Arif Mahmood, Director General PMD while UNDP was led by Mr. Herman Besgsme, CTA, th DRR, The team of experts of PMD (Chief Meteorologists and Directors of different units), PMD, 14 April, 2014 Mr.Qasim Naqvi, AFA, UNDP and Mr. Ahmed Kamal, Member,DRR, NDMA. were also present in the signing ceremony. This LoA will provide a framework for timely dissemination of Flash Flood Alerts using FM radio transmission and SMS for targeted areas of vulnerable areas with special focus on Khyber Pukhtunkhaw districts Peshawar, Charsada and Nowsherea. At the end of the ceremony, Director General, PMD thanked UNDP and NDMA for supporting such initiatives and hoped that it would strengthen the cooperation between organizations for providing the better services to the nation for effective DRM activities at gross root level. Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FHA) ‘Pakistan vulnerable to GILGIT: The Global Climate Risk Index 1993-2012 has ranked Pakistan as the 12th most affected by extreme weather events. This information was shared during the two-day Climate Climate Change, Natural Change Adaptation Conference held here on Wednesday, says a press release. The Disasters conference was organised by the Focus Humanitarian Assistance programme in collaboration Daily Dawn.com, 2014-04-10 with Karakoram International University (KIU) to discuss the impact of global warming and ways to decrease risks at community and institutional levels. According to one of the speakers, Pakistan was highly vulnerable to climate change and large floods, drought and biodiversity loss was expected in future. Assistant Professor, KIU, Dr Shaukat Ali said the mean annual temperature increase recorded in Pakistan from 1960 to 2007 was higher than the rate

observed globally. “This temperature increase will result in more heat waves and will also affect the country’s water demand. More than 40 per cent of the population in Pakistan is at risk of natural disasters such as droughts, floods and cyclones,” he added. Geologist Niaz Ali stated that in the past four years, Pakistan had endured two of the deadliest avalanches the world has ever seen. “Pakistan has witnessed a 0.76°C rise in temperature during the last 40 years, but what is even more disturbing is the fact that the mountainous areas of Gilgit- Baltistan and Chitral have seen an increase of 1.5°C during the same time period,” he said. He linked the deadly avalanches to the rise in temperatures in the northern areas and warned that the late spell of snowfall coupled with increased temperatures might increase the chance of an avalanche in northern Pakistan. Chairperson Focus Pakistan, Khadija Jamal Shaban said: “The impact of climate change is far wider and deeper than that being discussed. It impacts every sector and therefore a strong national policy to guide climate change adaptation is very critical.” Friedrich Naumann Foundation (FNF) Climate change: Speakers Speakers at a workshop on climate change said that in Pakistan there is no umbrella frame call for appropriate work or legislation exists at the national or city level which addresses the issue of urban resilience. These views were expressed by them in a seminar organised by Friedrich Naumann legislative framework Foundation (FNF) with the theme of "Understanding Sustainable Cities" here on Saturday. Business Recorder, April 13, 2014 Resident Representative FNF Dr Almut Besold presented the address of welcome. The speakers were of the view that there is a wide distribution of jurisdiction management roles and over laps in terms of policies, control over land and resources and financial matters spread across all tiers of governance both at federal, provincial and local level prohibits a pro active role being initiated at local level. The speakers show their concerns on the 62 percent cut in annual spending of Pakistan's ministry of climate change in 2013 and downgrading it from ministry to a division. They said that despite the presence of National Disaster Management Act 2010 and the National Disaster Risk Reduction Policy both these institutions have been found wanting in terms of implementing effectively there impressive plans and actions in the time of recent flooding. According to Urban Planner Farhan Anwar in the city of Lahore, no extensive flood hazard mapping has been done to identify and quantify exposed people (particular focus on the elderly and children) and assets, a significant number of people are estimated to reside along the flood plains of the Ravi River and inner city drainage network. He was of the view that short term emergency response and shelter facilities were provided in the case of disaster but there is a lack of an integrated evacuation and disaster risk management plan with provisions for relevant actions embedded in the appropriate legislative frame work. Anwar said that in Lahore Metro bus public transport system has been inaugurated but there is a need of taking steps for the promotion of cycling and walking culture in the city adding that this reduce carbon emissions, lower energy consumption and will be helpful in controlling the damage to Lahore's rich historical heritage and promoting an inclusive city.

50% world population at KARACHI: Fifty percent of the world population is at risk of Vector Borne Diseases (VBD) and these diseases accounts for more than 17 percent of all infectious diseases causing more than risk of vector borne 1 million deaths annually. These views were expressed by experts at an awareness seminar diseases on World Health Day 2014 organized by Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) at its Ojha One Pakistan , April 5, 2014 Campus on Saturday. The theme of World Health Day 2014 is Preventing and controlling vector borne diseases. The seminar aims to highlight public health issues which are of public importance and to create awareness among the educated youth of the society to share preventive messages for their community. More than 2.5 billion people in over 100 countries are at risk of contracting dengue alone. Pakistanhas beenexperiencing an epidemic of dengue fever since 2010 resulting in deaths. There is need to provide technical support and guidance to countries that can effectively manage cases and outbreaks. Ex-Principle of Dow Medical College & Chief Guest Prof Illahi Bux Soomro stressed the need of adopting preventive strategy to control vector borne diseases. He said that this year world health day campaign advocates for health authorities in countries where vector-borne diseases are a public health problem or emerging threat, to put in place measures to improve surveillance and protection. Pro-Vice Chancellor, DUHS Prof Umar Farooq informed that its a government duty to provide contusive environment. He also pledged to make all out sincere individual and collective efforts in the society for creating awareness among general public regarding vector borne disease and other ailments. Dr Kashif Shafique, while speaking on introduction and burden of vector borne diseases said that malaria causes more than 600,000 deaths every year globally, most of them children under 5 years of age. WHO estimates there may be more than 100 million dengue infections worldwide every year. About 2.5 percent of those affected patients die. He revealed that since 2010, Pakistanhas beenexperiencing an epidemic of dengue fever that has caused 16,580 confirmed cases and 257 deaths in Lahore and nearly 5,000 cases and 60 deaths reported from the rest of the country. He said three provinces facing the epidemic are Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab andSindh. With an estimated burden of 1.5 million cases annually, Pakistan has been categorized by WHO in the Group 3 countries of the WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region, along with Afghanistan, Djibouti, Somalia, he added. He said poorest of the poor in vulnerable communities living in remote rural areas with limited access to health facilities, suffer the most. He said these diseases affect urban, semi-urban and rural communities but thrive predominantly among communities with poor living conditions particularly lack of access to adequate housing, safe drinking water and sanitation. He stressed the need of joint efforts to inform your community about vector borne disease and to provide the best evidence for controlling vectors and protecting people against infection. He

further said that considering the importance of public health the university is playing its due role for creating public awareness and preventive measure. Dr Akhtar Baloch said that dengue is a dangerous illness, it can cause much suffering, and in some cases death. In November 2011, dengue has killed over 300 people in the last several months and over 14,000 are infected by this mosquito born disease. Majority of the people infected are from the Lahore area in Punjab, Pakistan. Prof Shaheen Sharafat, Speaking on malaria challenges in diagnosis, said education of health workers and communities about malaria prevention, diagnosis and treatment is a vital component of effective case management, especially as diagnostic policies change. Preventing resistance emerging to insecticides used in vector control remains an ongoing challenge in an era of changing malaria epidemiology. Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP)

Forum Held on Disaster ISLAMABAD: A national forum on geosciences and disaster risk reduction was conducted by Risk Management the Geological Survey of Pakistan (GSP) on Wednesday in collaboration with its German partner institution, the Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR). Daily Times, April 03, 2014 Minister of State for Petroleum & Natural Resources Jamal Khan was the chief guest. Embassy of Germany’s Deputy Head of Mission Peter Felten, GSP’s Director General Imran Khan and BGR President Hans Joachim Kümpel were also present at the occasion. Kuempel and Imran said that it is important to consider the non-structural risk reduction measures such as regional planning. It is a prerequisite to save lives and livelihood if you want to make the

country prosper. Repeated losses take an economic toll much higher than preventive and proactive disaster management. “The national forum bears a chance for the national stakeholders to join in a scientific and application oriented exchange. Disaster risk reduction is a topic that should be considered in every department of strategic planning to secure investments,” Imran said. Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) Malnutrition stalks KARACHI, (IRIN): Pastoralists and others in Pakistan’s desert regions of Cholistan in the southern Punjab and Tharparkar in Sindh are facing a grave crisis: Their livestock are dying, Pakistan’s desert regions their children are malnourished, and when families move to less drought-affected areas they IRIN News , 1st April , 2014 often get a hostile reception. Aid workers say the drought is widespread, and large-scale help is required. “This is the worst drought we have encountered since 1998,” Aamir Yousuf, programme coordinator of the Al Sadiq Desert Welfare Organization based in Cholistan, told IRIN. The coordinator for relief operations for the Sindh government, Taj Haider, told IRIN 201 deaths were reported in Tharparkar from 1 December 2013 to 28 March 2014 of which 51 were men, 34 women and 116 children. He said rather than starvation, sickness was the main cause of these deaths. “Starvation is not usually a direct cause of death [in severe drought situations],” Saleem Uddin, who has worked in the Thar area at charitable clinics, told IRIN. “But children who are severely malnourished, such as those coming into Tharparkar hospitals, fall sick faster and fail to recover, unlike healthy children.” Drinking contaminated water as supplies ran short also contributed to disease, he said, with “water often shared by animals and humans”. The World Food Programme says the drought has added to the malnutrition crisis in Tharparkar District. To help combat it, the organization is increasing its ongoing nutrition support to cover the entire district, “in order to cater to the immediate needs of the children and pregnant and lactating women,” Lola Castro, country director, told IRIN. The request for support had come from the health and nutrition departments of Sindh. “Over 18,000 children with moderate or acute malnutrition and nearly 16,000 malnourished pregnant and lactating women in all union councils of Tharparkar will benefit from the nutrition programme,” said Castro. As a result of the drought in Cholistan, more than 90 percent of the 1,100 ponds and 155 underground storage tanks in the region, spread over 26,300 square kilometres, had gone dry, said Yousuf. As a result almost 90 percent of people had left their homes and almost every family had been affected. Cholistan has an estimated population of 190,000. Government partly to blame? “The drought is one of the worst we have faced in a very long time - probably since at least 2002,” Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon told IRIN. While accusing the media of exaggerating the issue, he said the situation could have been “handled better” by the authorities, but he said the issues were now being “managed by the Sindh government with committees set up to oversee relief efforts”. The Supreme Court has accused the Sindh provincial government of failing to truthfully report the facts and the chief minister of the province has admitted major administrative flaws, notably the failure last December to distribute 60,000 bags of wheat flour allocated for the region, which remained in warehouses reportedly because payments were not made to transporters. The Sindh High Court has also noted that the failure to fill 271 posts for doctors at government hospitals in Umerkot, one of the towns serving Thar, contributed to inadequate health care for sick people, especially children. “The media is citing 221 deaths since January this year, based on hospital data. But these deaths began in October, and the figure is higher,” Ali Akbar, executive director of the Association for Water Applied Education and Renewable Energy (AWARE), told IRIN from the town of Chachro in Tharparkar. He also said there had been “no significant change” in the situation since relief efforts began, mainly because the government is distributing wheat flour, but not “food required by infants, pregnant and lactating mothers, such as milk.” The lack of dietary balance meant the malnutrition crisis was continuing, Akbar said. According to the Sindh Relief Department’s official data, this is the first drought in Thar since 1999 when there

was starvation or near-starvation. Displacement - without animals “Livestock is closely related to human life in Thar,” said Naseer Memon, chief executive of the Islamabad-based Strengthening Participatory Organization. He said that because pregnant and lactating mothers depended essentially for their food needs on milk and milk products obtained from their animals, the death of cattle and sheep contributed to acute malnutrition among them and consequently their young children. “The current crisis in Thar and adjoining desert areas is actually a result of gross mismanagement and criminal negligence on part of administration,” Memon said. The failure to distribute wheat and medicines in time and the lack of medical staff and services “resulted in alarmingly high infant mortality”, he added. it just feels so unsafe. We do not know anyone around. People are hostile to us and I cannot find work. All my sheep died so we have nothing to live on” “Government hospitals are now turning away pregnant mothers and newborns, because very young children make up the largest group of the dead, and they do not want this figure to rise. This would happen if newborns died in hospitals and deaths had to be officially recorded,” said Akbar. The current crisis could have been averted by a careful monitoring of rainfall data in 2013 which “could have raised alarm of a drought”, Memon said. “That it was not, is the real tragedy.” In Cholistan, over 100,000 people living around dried out ponds have moved, mainly to towns and cities, according to Yousuf of the Al Sadiq Desert Welfare Organization. The displaced are vulnerable because of their loss of livelihoods and security. “Here in Bhawalpur, it just feels so unsafe. We do not know anyone around. People are hostile to us and I cannot find work. All my sheep died so we have nothing to live on,” said Ahmed Alam, who is currently living with his family of seven in a shanty area some 100km from his home in Cholistan. Alam is also concerned that the land and house he has been forced to leave behind could be robbed in the family’s absence. According to Yousuf, nearly 200,000 cattle have died in Cholistan. The figure for Tharparkar is unclear, with the Thardeep Rural Development Programme NGO saying 42,000 sheep have died mainly due to disease. Locals report devastating livestock losses, with Raju Bheel from the town of Diplo saying 12 of his 40 cattle had died in the last two months. “I now need to find fodder for them so that they can survive and my family can too.” He and his family have moved several times to find sources of water for themselves and their animals. “My pregnant wife is sick; water everywhere is contaminated, and I am very concerned about her,” said Bheel.

KURRAM AGENCY DISASTER PROFILE

Kurram is one of the seven tribal agencies; it was declared as agency in 1892 and became the part of Pakistan in 1947. It is one of the beautiful agencies in FATA. It is famous because of green Valleys and pleasant weather. Kurram Agency is bounded on north and west by Afghanistan (the provinces of Ninghar and Pukthia respectively), on the east by Orakzai and Khyber Agencies on the south east by Hangu and on the south by North Waziristan. The Kurram agency’s gepgeaphic position has escalated people’s vulnerablity against different Natural and man-made disasters. Terrorism , sectarianism , flash floods, landslides and snow storms has made the people socio- economically vulnerable for the upcoming hazasrds and has badly affected the livelihood, economy and social life of the people. NATURAL AND MAN MADE HAZARDS OF KURRAM AGENCY

Snow storms Seasonal Entire agency Medium Every year

In 2010 Floods, Kurram Agency was affected and had drastic impacts on different socio-economic sectors. According to FATA Disaster Management Authority, 641 villages were affected due to floods 2010. 31380 people were affected and 421acres inundated. There were 4 deaths and no injuries reported. 293 houses were partially damaged and 20 houses were fully damaged. An estimated loss of 218.63 Million rupees for all sectors damage was reported. Table below shows the details of losses and damages in Kurram Agency2.

The sectarian violence remained an issue since long but the sectarian identities as well as hostilities became worse during past few years. Administratively, the population of Kurram is divided into three sub-divisions, namely Upper Kurram (almost 80% Shia), Central Kurram (95% Sunni) and Lower Kurram (80% Sunni). Besides, religious discrepensies between Shia and Sunni there are other factors which engage them in action against each other like disputes over water, forests and land exist between Turi, Shia Bangash tribes and other Sunni tribes of Kurram. Over the past few years hundreds, if not thousands, of Shias and Sunnis have been murdered in Kurram Agency in Sectarian violence. Sectarian Violence in FATA – 2013

July 26 Parachinar / Kurram At least 60 persons were killed and 180 others 180 62 Agency / FATA were injured in a coordinated twin suicide attacks at Parachinar in the Kurram Agency of FATA.

Terriorism is another hazard of the Kurram agency . it has engulfed not only FATA but whole country. Sectarian violence gives room to the outsider militant-groups which results in anti-state activities like suicides and ambush on security forces.

A realistic national plan for IDPs aiming at durable solutions should of course include the perspective of the displaced So far, however, the Pakistani government has channelled its themselves. Although return is considered the preferred solution resources mainly towards assistance, with emergency responses by governments, more attention should be given to local in most cases overshadowing both preventive measures and integration, since data shows that many displaced favour mixed most importantly, durable solutions. People uprooted by conflict in settlement options, or to settle permanently away from home. In Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, Waziristan and the tribal areas and this framework, Pakistan has several challenges to overcome, Balochistan, despite having received limited humanitarian with common obstacles to local integration including housing, assistance, have been in many cases unable to access protection livelihood and access to land and security of tenure. The latter is mechanisms and make provincial and federal authorities probably the most challenging, given that in the country, two per accountable for their duty of protection. cent of the households own about 50 per cent of the land, leaving IDPs from conflict-affected areas attempting to relocate in other the majority of the population landless. regions like Sindh and Punjab, for example, are often met with People displaced by environmental disasters, which in Pakistan suspicion and wariness by local populations and administrations. have manifested in great magnitude in recent years, present an Persistently associated with poor, backward areas, while at the additional set of challenges, adding pressure to the three durable same time often perceived as inextricably linked to armed militant solutions of return, reintegration and resettlement. Returning to groups, the IDPs suffer from hatred and prejudice. Responses the place of origin is often simply not possible if the land has such as that of the Sindh cabinet, proposing to seal off regional suffered irreversible damage or is still at risk of further disasters. borders for fear of a mass influx of IDPs following military In some circumstances, the costs of recovering land at risk of operations in North Waziristan, while also setting up a specific environmental calamities become prohibitive, making return police and intelligence cell to monitor the movement of IDPs and simply unsustainable. Afghan refugees, points to a worrying ‘securitisation’ of internal displacement issues. Durable solutions to internal displacement are to be understood as a process which requires both careful planning and long-term Such institutional responses reinforce major concerns as to approaches. There is no doubt that Pakistan’s assistance whether the Pakistani government, in planning military operations capacity in terms of resources has been overloaded by an against militant hideouts, has put in place sustainable planning for endless cycle of recurrent displacement crises — however, more the thousands of people who will eventually be displaced by could be done. The international community, too, has a conflict. Despite North Waziristan being affected by military considerable role to play that goes beyond reactively providing operations and poor security, it has not yet been declared a emergency/relief assistance to the IDPs. The main tool, which conflict zone, leaving the fleeing population unable to register as can be employed by third party states, is by promoting Pakistan’s IDPs. The duty upon the state to prevent causes leading to compliance with international law, and pushing for the adoption of displacement seems lost in arbitrary scales of priorities. available instruments designed for protection and solutions to Meanwhile, the same government should also consider that when internal displacement. Pakistan should demonstrate political will engaging with the peace process with the TTP, it should make through the development and implementation of a coherent sure that the internally displaced are a part of such discussions. A national policy aimed at the protection of the most vulnerable line of action looking for realistic, durable solutions should involve segments of its population all the parties involved in the conflict, and guarantee that armed . groups are aware of their duties towards civilians in general and

The Reasons for Severe Effects of Drought in Thar

Abid Rehman Nohario CBDRM Specialist Tharparkar The Pioneer Date: Not given

Simple public of Tharparkar keep their eyes up in the sky for in this modern era of global world trends of living and priorities of wandering clouds to rain, because their livelihood depends upon peoples of Tharparkar had also changed ,more than 75% rains, if rainy clouds run away without raining than unhappiness population of Tharparkar use addictions from simple addictions to and grieves of peoples of thar increases because their agriculture dangerous raw wine and these addictions had also raised their and domestic animals gets severely affected which are their expenses and persons with addictions persons do not go for labor major sources of income and they totally depend upon timely or for the jobs; For social events like marriages and funerals they rains, Rain failures cause the drought conditions in area and in arrange big ceremonials by taking loans on high interest rates these conditions foodstuff for community and fodder for animals and they fail to repay these loans till a long period which had left turn out to be extremely difficult to get and they have to migrate to them financially and economically backward. barrage areas for searching the food for family by harvesting or Recently in Pakistan Pakistan inflation had increased at high level for labor and fodder for their domestic animals ,Before and During but the wages or salaries of employees and labors had not risen, long travel to barrage areas their many thin and weak animals so earned cash from employees or labors of Tharparkar had die, their food stoves remain closed due to unavailability of flour failed to meet their both ends. for three times cooking, and in the process mall nutrition creeps up among women, children’s and old age persons. From health point of view Thari peoples have to face many issues and problems, the major reason for health issues is improper Previous year due to lowest and inappropriate rains drought had salty water with traces of arsenic and other chemicals. The most occurred in Thaparkar district, more than 250 kids had died due of diseases which are faced by peoples of Tharparkar are mall to mall nutrition. There are many reasons which have increased nourishment, Bone and joint diseases, hepatitis, Tuberculosis the drought effects from common low level to high level in ,kidney diseases, skin diseases ,diphtheria ,malaria and Thaparkarr, According to government rules in case of rain failure gynecological diseases and main reasons which cause these till mid of the August that area should have been declared as diseases are lack of hospitals ,shortage of doctors and disaster hit and relief activities should have been started but in medicines, no vaccination for women and children, women pull Tharparkar when low rains happened till 15th August proper water up from deep wells and carry weighty water pots on their disaster management actions were not taken by the government heads, high traces of arsenic in water, No trained birth attendants and due to mismanagement of district government wheat ,high fesses of private doctors , treatment by un professional remained locked in the grain stores and was not distributed doctors and cleanliness. among the population. In this modern era by taking pre disaster management actions severe effects of disasters can either be One realistic cause for high mortality rate is that in Tharparkar 90 controlled or be reduced, Residents of Tharparkar themselves percent households have no knowledge to check the temperature had already taken important pre drought measures for keeping by thermometer, so for long time they fail to identify their sickness the effects at low level. Before 1980 in Tharparkar people have and when they identify that becomes complicated and patients no other cash earning resources for meeting their both ends apart reach in hospital incurable stages and mostly they have to from their domestic animals which they used to exchange for die..One major problem in the development of Thaparkar is the wheat at those times in case of droughts their animals mostly had Education system, Situation of education in Tharparkar is very to die and they had to face the severe effects of droughts. alarming , on one hand for that teachers are responsible which are either missing persons ,taxi drivers or shop keepers ,secondly After 1980 they came out with those alternative solutions of politicians who use them for their election campaigns andfor their livelihood which could earned cash for facing drought effects, for personal goals ,in case of some actions against them they defend that purpose most of youths from Tharparkar left to big cities like them; Officers are also responsible who accept bribes from Karachi, Hyderabad in the search of the jobs and they were teachers and leave them free from duties, in this case at some engaged in garment factories, cooks in houses, government jobs extent parents are also responsible who either use their children in sectors of Education, health, police and army and in that ways in agriculture or livestock. Poverty is the ultimate outcome of they earned cash for their families, hence the severe effects of above all issues and other reasons for that are lack of skills, drought were at controllable level for last three decades. unemployment, high birth rates, lack of resources and low wages. Before 1980 in Tharparkar the trend was for keeping big animals Above all discussed issues had reduced the drought coping like camels, cows and horses which needed big quantity of fodder capacities of peoples of Tharparkar. Now it is the responsibility of which was very expensive and at the time of droughts people government and other donor agencies that they do not rely only failed to fulfill that big fodder so after 1980 they realized it and on relief activities but they must start development activities inthe found an alternative solution for that by keeping small animals like sectors of livelihood, health and education so that Thari peoples goats and sheep which needed less amount of fodder and they should not be the reflection of miseries in the future. were more productive which also reduced the effects of droughts in recent past but this year their domestic animals had died so the severe effects had arised. .
