Situation Analysis Report of District Rajanpur – Flood 2015 Situation Analysis Report of District Rajanpur – Flood 2015 Situation Report 1 July 25, 2015 __________________________________________________________________________________ Date of Survey: Saturday 25 July 2015. Time: 10:00 hrs. – 18:00 hrs. Area assessed: Tehsil Rajanpur & Tehsil Rojhan– District Rajanpur. PartnerAid Rapid Assessment Team: 1. Ishtiaq Ahmad Project Manager 2. Sifat Fatima - Monitoring & Evaluation Officer 3. Noor Ul Basar - HR/Admin Officer District Profile: The Rajanpur city is situated on the right bank of River Indus however District itself is situated on both sides of River Indus. Rajanpur District is bounded on the North by DG Khan on the East by Muzafar Garh & Rahim Year Khan Districts lying across the River Indus on the south lies District Jaccobabad of Sindh province while on the West is the District Dera Bughti & Barkhan of Balochistan province. It comprises 12,318 squares Km Area. Population density of the district is 90 persons per sq Km. There are 44 union councils in the district. The flood affects district Rajanpur almost every year. It is caused by two main factors i.e. Hill torrents, and riverine. However, this year monsoon season starting June-July 2015 with torrential rains gave rise to heavy flash floods in the affected areas of the Suleman Mountain range. Naalas namely, Darra Kah Sultan, Darra Chachar, Darra Potokh and Darra Surri (streams) over flooded with heavy rains also aggravated the situation in the hill torrent side of District Rajanpur. Being close to the river bed, the eastern part of the district (Katcha zone) is frequently hit by flooding from the Indus River due to heavy monsoon rains in July/August and snow melt in the Himalayas. This riverine flooding inundates a large part of the low lying areas along the river belt in all three Tehsils (sub-districts), namely Jampur, Rajanpur and Rojahn. The western part of the district (locally called Parched) is frequently affected by flash floods which develop in the Suleiman mountain ranges. Both these hazards bring heavy losses in the two areas that cover roughly about 80% of the area and about 60% of the population, damaging houses made of mud, land and crops, livestock and other property.

Shelter need Tents, Tarpaulin Sheets to cover the assets and keep women, children, elderly and disabled from rain and sunlight as well as to give them a sense of protection. Water and sanitation is one of the major needs in both the districts, settlements and IDP Camps.

  • ASA 33/006/2002 Pakistan: Insufficient Protection of Women
    PAKISTAN INSUFFICIENT PROTECTION OF WOMEN “The government of Pakistan vigorously condemns the practice of so-called honour killings. Such acts do not find a place in our religion or law. Killing in the name of honour is murder and will be treated as such”, General Musharraf, April 2000 1. INTRODUCTION For years, women in Pakistan have been severely disadvantaged and discriminated against. They have been denied the enjoyment of a whole range of rights - economic, social, civil and political rights and often deprivation in one of these areas has entailed discrimination in another. Women who have been denied social rights including the right to education are also often denied the right to decide in matters relating to their marriage and divorce, are more easily abused in the family and community and are more likely to be deprived of the right to legal redress. Often abuses are compounded; poor girls and women are trafficked and subject to forced marriage, forced prostitution or exploitative work situations such as bonded labour. In all of these situations they are likely to be mentally, physically and sexually abused, again without having the wherewithal to obtain justice.1 Since publishing its 1999 report, Pakistan: Violence against women in the name of honour2, Amnesty International has found that while few positive changes have taken place in the area of women’s rights, the state in Pakistan still by and large fails to provide adequate protection for women against abuses in the custody of the state and in the family and the community. In fact, the number of victims of violence appears to rise.
