As of 22 March 2017, it was reported that PBIED attack occurred at Gulumba IDP Camp in Muna Dalti. In Gulumba IDPs Camp, security sources reported that an attack likely involved PBIEDs, which detonated, causing injuries and death. There were reportedly 20 casualties, 4 dead including the PBIEDs and 14 injured. Humanitarian access remains a great challenge, and humanitarian partners are also gearing up for the upcoming rainy season to mitigate risks for response delivery. While humanitarian partners have scaled up emergency response in all sectors, gaps remain and new needs continue to emerge in outlying areas due to population movements and returns from inside the Borno sate and neighboring countries Niger, Chad and Cameroon. According to the Cadre Harmonisé report released in March, more than 50,000 people could experience famine-like conditions across the North-East from June to August. Food insecurity in the region is projected to rise to 5.2 million people in the three most affected states in the coming months. Borno state will be worst affected, with 43,066 persons expected to be in Phase 5, followed by the states of Adamawa (3,690) and Yobe (3,295). Ongoing conflict and attacks have prevented farmers from growing crops for over three consecutive years triggering severe food crisis in the largely agrarian region. The Cadre Harmonisé (CH) is the current regional framework for consensual analysis of food insecurity situations. It aims to prevent food insecurity in West and Central Africa and includes the participation of Governments, UN Agencies, NGOs and donors. Food availability is expected to decline normally towards The recommendations of the framework analysis highlight the need to scale up the emergency humanitarian assistance to improve food and nutrition security situation, save lives and protect livelihood conditions. The framework also suggests to strengthen the ongoing responses to malnutrition in the sixteen states, particularly in the three north east States before the next lean season. Improvement of food access for the poorest people especially those living in the remote areas is also a priority for the humanitarian actors. Responding to the health needs in remote areas, 84 mobile teams are operational with the support of Federal Ministry of Health, WHO and Health Sector Partners in Borno state. The teams are regularly working in communities and health facilities delivering essential health care including treatment of minor ailments, safe deliveries, nutrition screening, and health promotion across 23 accessible LGAs. Some of the health partners have started their interventions in the rehabilitation or renovation of health facilities where the health facilities are non-functional due to damages to the infrastructure and assets. Population displacement and return are ongoing as for the last few weeks there is a continuous daily influx of IDPs in Dikwa LGA due to which the total population caseload has reached to 150,000 people in both camps and host community. The influx is from Bama, Ngala and surrounding villages of Dikwa LGA. Like other services health services are also overstretched. People are living in congested environment in camps and some host communities which create public health risk in terms of disease outbreak. Disease surveillance and monitoring of health situation is an urgent priority. WHO surveillance team is in touch with the state MoH to improve disease surveillance and reporting from Dikwa. Shelter and CCCM sectors are struggling to provide additional shelter support to the new arrivals and improve the living condition of people specially in the camps. ICRC, UNICEF, WHO, FHI-360 and Federal government mobile medical teams are providing health services in Dikwa. UNICEF is supporting three PHC centers including one MCH center in host community and two health clinics in IDP camps. WHO has deployed a Hard to Reach team providing health services in the surrounding host communities. The referral services are not enough to cater the needs of additional caseload of IDPs. 2 Public Health Risks and Needs 6.9 million people are in need of humanitarian health services including more than 1.7 million internally displaced people living in more than 100 IDP camps across Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Cholera and meningitis, Viral Haemorrhagic Fever (VHF) such as Lassa fever, outbreaks are an increasing threat; full preparedness and response plans are ongoing. Active surveillance for Polio and Acute Flaccid Paralysis remain extremely active. Measles outbreaks continues to be a challenging to be contained. The need for food assistance is likely to increase even further in the coming weeks. Qualified health human resources, essential medicines and the destruction of medical facilities continues to hamper the delivery of lifesavings health interventions Surveillance and communicable disease control .

  • Assessments of Health Services Availability in Humanitarian Emergencies: a Review of Assessments in Haiti and Sudan Using a Health Systems Approach Jason W
    Nickerson et al. Conflict and Health (2015) 9:20 DOI 10.1186/s13031-015-0045-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Assessments of health services availability in humanitarian emergencies: a review of assessments in Haiti and Sudan using a health systems approach Jason W. Nickerson1,2,3*, Janet Hatcher-Roberts3, Orvill Adams4, Amir Attaran5 and Peter Tugwell3,6 Abstract Background: Assessing the availability of health services during humanitarian emergencies is essential for understanding the capacities and weaknesses of disrupted health systems. To improve the consistency of health facilities assessments, the World Health Organization has proposed the use of the Health Resources Availability Mapping System (HeRAMS) developed in Darfur, Sudan as a standardized assessment tool for use in future acute and protracted crises. This study provides an evaluation of HeRAMS’ comprehensiveness, and investigates the methods, quality and comprehensiveness of health facilities data and tools in Haiti, where HeRAMS was not used. Methods and findings: Tools and databases containing health facilities data in Haiti were collected using a snowball sampling technique, while HeRAMS was purposefully evaluated in Sudan. All collected tools were assessed for quality and comprehensiveness using a coding scheme based on the World Health Organization’s health systems building blocks, the Global Health Cluster Suggested Set of Core Indicators and Benchmarks by Category, and the Sphere Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Response. Eight assessments and databases were located in Haiti, and covered a median of 3.5 of the 6 health system building blocks, 4.5 of the 14 Sphere standards, and 2 of the 9 Health Cluster indicators.

Please indicate when the After-Action Review (AAR) was conducted and who participated. N/A It was not possible to meet and jointly conduct an AAR due to restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the urgent need to prepare a COVID-19 response, two UHF allocations and a new CERF COVID-related allocation, it was decided not to conduct a process virtually. In addition, the HCT has been involved in significant extra work to support the Government of Ukraine to respond to COVID-19. HCT members have also been involved in significant advocacy efforts to ensure the continuation of humanitarian access in NGCA after the closure of entry-exit crossing points (EECPs). Recipient agencies provided input through email. b. Please confirm that the Resident Coordinator and/or Humanitarian Coordinator (RC/HC) Report on the Yes No use of CERF funds was discussed in the Humanitarian and/or UN Country Team. As noted above, it was not possible to meet in person, and there was no virtual discussion. c. Was the final version of the RC/HC Report shared for review with in-country stakeholders (i.e. the CERF recipient agencies and their implementing partners, cluster/sector coordinators and members and relevant Yes No government counterparts)?

For civilians caught up in conflict – ‘left behind’ from global prosperity and progress – the rhetoric around rule of law, human rights and humanitarianism may well seem meaningless. This report begins by outlining the multifaceted and interlinked impacts of conflict on health for such populations. It also describes the key global frame- works that should minimize harm and help protect health during conflict, including Agenda 2030, adopted by all member states in 2015. Agenda 2030 is a global vision “to strengthen universal peace in larger freedom”. The means to achieve this vision are found in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
