budget allocated in 2014: Humanitarian Aid Other Total EUR 31 500 000 EUR 300 000 EUR 31 800 000* *EUR 31 800 000 is the sum of the initial HIP allocation of EUR 28 500 000 plus a top-up of EUR 3 million following devastating floods in spring 2014 and EUR 300 000 allocated to Afghanistan through "EU Children of Peace". 2) Context and type(s) of crisis: Afghanistan is confronted to a complex protracted crisis: The armed conflict mainly affects rural areas in the south, east and south-east regions. There was a large rise in conflict-related deaths and injuries of Afghan civilians in 2014 with 800 000 people living in displacement. Recurrent natural disasters affect the central, northern and north-eastern regions like the major floods of spring 2014. Military operations in Pakistan in 2014 also forced thousands to seek refuge in neighboring Afghan provinces. 3) Sectors of activity/intervention Support to Emergency Healthcare covering trauma care and emergency health services for victims of conflict and to control epidemic outbreaks and emergency vaccination campaigns (measles and polio) was an important sector of intervention. Funding was provided for protection, non-food items (NFI), emergency shelters, food assistance (both in- kind and cash- based), water and sanitation and livelihood opportunities to displaced people, returning Afghan refugees and people affected by natural disasters. DG ECHO focused on advocacy for the respect of humanitarian principles and launched a communication campaign to increase access for humanitarian organizations. Increasing the preparedness and resilience of Afghan communities to recurrent natural hazards continued to be an important component of DG ECHO's programming in Afghanistan. 4) Key Highlights/major initiatives and operations: Emergency Response Mechanism (ERM): In cooperation with existing coordination mechanisms, support is provided to NGOs to build up capacities for enhanced access, emergency needs assessment and response, in order to ensure that timely assistance can be delivered to disaster-affected people or conflict-affected IDPs. Assistance to refugees and returnees: Increasing numbers of returning
