BALOCHISTAN May – November 2019 Issued in November 2019 IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS PAKISTAN – BALOCHISTAN May – November 2019 Issued in November 2019 Key Figures May – August 2019 SAM (Severe Acute 199,811 Malnutrition) Number of cases 395,654 MAM (Moderate Acute Number of 6-59 months children acutely malnourished 195,843 Malnutrition) Number of cases IN NEED OF TREATMENT GAM (Global Acute 395,654 Malnutrition) Number of cases How Severe, How Many and When – Acute malnutrition is affecting around 0.4 million children who are under the age of 5, more than half of all children aged 6-59 months in the 14 drought affected districts of Balochistan, making it a major public health problem in these districts. Of the 14 drought affected districts, 1 district has Extremely Critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 5) while 11 have Critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4) and 2 are in Phase 3 with Serious levels of acute malnutrition according to the IPC AMN scale. Around 396,000 of the approximately 738,000 children of age 6-59 months are suffering from acute malnutrition during the drought period of May – August 2019. Where – Panjgur district is affected by Extremely Critical levels of acute malnutrition and is classified as being in the highest Phase of 5, according to the IPC AMN scale, where about 1 in 3 children under the age of 5 are suffering from acute malnutrition. Although 11 other districts have Critical levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4), Kachhi, Pishin, Jhal Magsi and Dera Bugti districts have acute malnutrition levels that are close to IPC AMN Phase 5 thresholds. Awaran and Gwadar districts have Serious levels (IPC AMN Phase 3) of acute malnutrition. Why – Although information on several contributing factors is limited, available information suggests that very poor quality and quantity of food consumed by children and high acute food insecurity are major problems across all the 14 districts. Poor water and sanitation conditions and sub-optimal feeding practices (particularly exclusive breastfeeding and complementary feeding) are major issues in most of the drought affected districts in Balochistan. Low vaccination coverage is also of concern in several districts.

Of the 34 districts in the province, 20 districts were not included in the current IPC AMN analysis, and are thus not classified. Around 396,000 children aged 6-59 months in the 14 drought affected districts are affected by acute malnutrition – that is, every second child in these districts is acutely malnourished. The total number of children with moderate and severe acute malnutrition is 195,843 and 199,811 respectively. The top 3 districts with the highest number of acutely malnourished children are namely Pishin, Kech, and Killa Abdullah.

Panjgur district, which is currently in IPC AMN Phase 5, is expected to remain in the same phase during the projection period. All other districts will also maintain their current IPC AMN phases in the projection period. Regardless of their IPC AMN phases, acute malnutrition will remain a major public health problem in all the 14 drought affected districts. It should be noted that, of the 34 districts in the province, 20 districts were not included in the current IPC AMN analysis, and are thus not classified. IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS PAKISTAN-BALOCHISTAN May – November 2019 Issued in November 2019 0000 IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS SITUATION OVERVIEW AND TREND ANALYSIS August 2019 – Projection until Nov ember 2019 4 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 Current situation overview 0000 Acute malnutrition is a major public health problem that needs urgent attention and response in all the 14 drought affected districts of the Balochistan province included in the current IPC AMN analysis – more than half of all children under the age of 5 in these districts are acutely malnourished. Panjgur district has the highest prevalence of acute malnutrition and is classified as being in Phase 5 according to the ICP AMN scale (with nearly 1 in every 3 children in the district being acutely malnourished). Eleven other districts are in IPC AMN Phase 4 with Extremely Critical levels of acute malnutrition and two districts are in IPC Phase 2 (acute malnutrition is in Serious levels). Information on contributing factors are limited in most of the 14 districts. However, with the available information, major contributing factors to acute malnutrition are likely extremely poor quality and quantity of food intake by children and high level of food insecurity (according to the IPC Acute Food Insecurity analysis findings). Poor water and sanitation situation coupled with sub-optimal feeding practices (especially very low levels of exclusive breastfeeding and introduction of complementary feeding at the age of 6 months) are of major concerns in the majority of the 14 drought affected districts – see below for details on major contributing factors to acute malnutrition by district. Low vaccination coverage (particularly measles coverage) is also of concern in several districts. Projected situation overview The Critical level of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 4) is likely to get worse in 3 districts (Jhal Magsi, Kachhi, Pishin) and become Extremely Critical (IPC AMN Phase 5). The current level of the acute malnutrition situation is likely to remain the same at Extremely Critical levels in Panjgur and Critical level in 8 other districts of Balochistan during the projection period. Awaran and Gwadar districts, which at present have Serious levels of acute malnutrition (IPC AMN Phase 3), will also likely remain the same during the projection period. Although historical information on both outcome indicators and contributing factors is limited, the available information inferred with expert opinion suggests that most contributing factors to acute malnutrition are either expected to remain at the current levels (poor) or slightly deteriorate further in some districts during the projection period. A factor that is likely to deteriorate the situation in some districts is the prevalence of diseases based on seasonal changes and food consumption (both quality and quantity), because of the deterioration expected in the food security situation due to prevailing high food prices. Trend analysis Available information on outcomes that is comparable is limited in all districts, particularly in the recent past. However, it has been acknowledged that acute malnutrition has consistently been high in all districts of the Balochistan province. According to the National Nutrition Survey of 2018, the situation has further deteriorated in several districts. The current drought appears to have further deteriorated the acute malnutrition situation in the 14 affected districts included in this IPC AMN analysis. IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS PAKISTAN-BALOCHISTAN May – November 2019 Issued in November 2019 0000 IPC ACUTE MALNUTRITION ANALYSIS RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ACTION August 2019 – Projection until Nov ember 2019 5 Report # 0001 | Issued in September 2019 Response priorities 0000 Providing treatment for all children with acute malnutrition is an urgent priority. The available information on acute malnutrition treatment is extremely limited. Where available, the treatment coverage data shows very low coverage. It is recognized that the acute malnutrition treatment is likely less than adequate in all districts. The very high severity and magnitude of the acute malnutrition situation calls for urgent scaling up of the treatment programmes. While improving the treatment capacity and coverage, improving early detection of children with acute malnutrition (particularly children with moderate acute malnutrition in order to prevent them from becoming severely malnourished) and referring them for treatment may also be necessary.

Gazdar, S. Ahmad Kaker, I. Khan, 2010 24 Crisis States Working Paper Buffer Zone, Colonial Enclave or Urban Hub? Quetta: Between Four Regions and Two Wars Haris Gazdar, Sobia Ahmad Kaker and Irfan Khan Collective for Social Science Research, Karachi, Pakistan Quetta is a city with many identities. It is the provincial capital and the main urban centre of Balochistan, the largest but least populous of Pakistan’s four provinces. Since around 2003, Balochistan’s uneasy relationship with the federal state has been manifested in the form of an insurgency in the ethnic Baloch areas of the province. Within Balochistan, Quetta is the main shared space as well as a point of rivalry between the two dominant ethnic groups of the province: the Baloch and the Pashtun.1 Quite separately from the internal politics of Balochistan, Quetta has acquired global significance as an alleged logistic base for both sides in the war in Afghanistan. This paper seeks to examine different facets of Quetta – buffer zone, colonial enclave and urban hub − in order to understand the city’s significance for state building in Pakistan. State-building policy literature defines well functioning states as those that provide security for their citizens, protect property rights and provide public goods. States are also instruments of repression and the state-building process is often wrought with conflict and the violent suppression of rival ethnic and religious identities, and the imposition of extractive economic arrangements (Jones and Chandaran 2008).

  • 1951-81 Population Administrative . Units
    1951- 81 POPULATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE . UNITS (AS ON 4th FEBRUARY. 1986 ) - POPULATION CENSUS ORGANISATION ST ATIS TICS DIVISION GOVERNMENT OF PAKISTAN PREFACE The census data is presented in publica tions of each census according to the boundaries of districts, sub-divisions and tehsils/talukas at the t ime of the respective census. But when the data over a period of time is to be examined and analysed it requires to be adjusted fo r the present boundaries, in case of changes in these. It ha s been observed that over the period of last censuses there have been certain c hanges in the boundaries of so me administrative units. It was, therefore, considered advisable that the ce nsus data may be presented according to the boundary position of these areas of some recent date. The census data of all the four censuses of Pakistan have, therefore, been adjusted according to the administ rative units as on 4th February, 1986. The details of these changes have been given at Annexu re- A. Though it would have been preferable to tabulate the whole census data, i.e., population by age , sex, etc., accordingly, yet in view of the very huge work involved even for the 1981 Census and in the absence of availability of source data from the previous three ce nsuses, only population figures have been adjusted. 2. The population of some of the district s and tehsils could no t be worked out clue to non-availability of comparable data of mauzas/dehs/villages comprising these areas. Consequently, their population has been shown against t he district out of which new districts or rehsils were created.

    313 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Prevalence of human malaria infection in Pakistani areas bordering with Iran Mohammad Iqbal Yasinzai, Juma Khan Kakarsulemankhel Abstract Objective: To study the prevalence of malarial infections in human population of district Panjgur in south-western Pakistan. Methods: The cross-sectional study identified malarial parasites in the blood slides of 6119 suspected malaria patients from July 2006 to June 2008 through passive and active case detection methods. SPSS 11 was used for statistical analysis. Results: Out of 6119 suspected cases of malaria, 2346 (38.3%) were found to be positive for malarial parasite on blood smear slides. Of these, 1868 (79.6%) cases were due to Plasmodium vivax infection, and 478 (20.3%) had P. falciparum. However, seasonal variation was also noted: P. vivax infection was the highest (n=131/144, 90.9%) in November and the lowest (n=83/176, 47.1%) in October. The prevalence was higher (n=1831, 78%) in males. Age- wise, the prevalence of the disease was 81.2% (n=334) and 80% (n=860) for age groups 1-10 years and 11-20 years. No case of P. malariae and P. ovale was detected in the study period. No association was found between types of infection and age groups. Conclusion: Human malaria infection was quite frequent in the study region, which is one of the hottest areas of Balochistan, Pakistan. In clinically-suspected cases of malaria, there was a high slide positivity rate. The high prevalence rate of P. vivax poses a significant health hazard but P. falciparum also may lead to serious complications, including cerebral malaria.

  • Balochis of Pakistan: on the Margins of History
    BALOCHIS OF PAKISTAN: ON THE MARGINS OF HISTORY November 2006 First published in 2006 by The Foreign Policy Centre 23-28 Penn Street London N1 5DL www.fpc.org.uk Email: [email protected] © Foreign Policy Centre 2006 All rights reserved ISBN-13: 978-1-905833-08-5 ISBN-10: 1-905833-08-3 PREFACE The Foreign Policy Centre is keen to promote debate about some of the worlds lesser known conflicts. The situation in Balochistan is one such example. This pamphlet sets out a powerful and well argued case that the Balochi people have been let down - by the British Empire, by the founders of modern India and by successive Governments in Pakistan. It is a fascinating analysis which we hope will contribute to constructive discussion about Balochistans future.
