    SIOC – Afghanistan: UNITED NATIONS CONFIDENTIAL UN Department of Safety and Security, Afghanistan Security Situation Report, Week 34, 20 – 26 August 2010 JOINT WEEKLY SECURITY ANALYSIS Countrywide security incidents continued to increase compared to the previous week with the NER, NR, SR and SER, recording higher levels of security incidents. In the ER a minor downward trend continues to be observed over the last three weeks, in the WR and CR records dropped. The dynamics along the south and south-eastern belt of the country vary again with the SR reasserting as the most volatile area. Security incidents were more widespread countrywide with the following provinces being the focus of the week: Kunduz, Baghlan in the NER; Faryab in the NR, Hirat in the WR, Kandahar and Helmand in the SR; Ghazni and Paktika in the SER and Kunar in the ER. Overall the majority of the incidents are initiated by insurgents and those related to armed conflict – armed clashes, IED attacks and stand off attacks - continue to account for the bulk of incidents. Reports of insurgents’ infiltration, re-supply and propaganda are recorded in the NR, SR, SER, ER and CR. These reports might corroborate assumptions that insurgents would profit from the Ramadan time to build up for an escalation into the election and pre-election days. The end of the week was dominated by the reporting of the violent demonstration against the IM base in Qala-i-Naw city following a shoot out at the entrance of the base. Potential for manipulation by the local Taliban and the vicinity of the UN compound to the affected area raised concerns on the security of the UN staff and resulted in the evacuation of the UN building.

  • Highlights Situation Overview
    Afghanistan Flash Floods Situation Report No. 7 as of 1800h (local time) on 15 May 2014 This report is produced by OCHA Afghanistan in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It was issued by OCHA Afghanistan. It covers the period from 24 April to 15 May 2014. The next report will be issued on or around 20 May 2014. Highlights The number of flood-affected people is 115,500 in 17 provinces and 97 districts. Following new assessments, the numbers of people affected by floods has reduced by about 6,000, while increased by one additional province (Khost) and nine new districts. Jawzjan, Faryab, Sari Pul remain the most affected provinces, accounting for two thirds of all the flood affected to date. Assessments and immediate relief distributions have been taken place in 80% of all affected districts. Relief distributions are ongoing in the most-recently affected districts and for some sectors. Sufficient relief stocks remain in country for the response. Constraints on access remain due to ruptured roads. The Mazar-Kabul highway has been repaired in Balkh, allowing only passenger vehicles to use it. There are no material changes on security related access. More and more attention is on the planning for the rehabilitation and rebuilding of damaged and destroyed homes (over 8,300), infrastructure and livelihoods. Land allocation and restitution to areas which are less prone to recurrent floods, is one way of incorporating disaster risk reduction in a meaningful way. The recently endorsed displacement policy provides a template in this regard. Summary of Affected, Needs, and Assessments ‐ 15 May 2014 (Source: OCHA field offices and PDMC) Situation Overview No.

  • Afghanistan: Flash Flood Situation Report
    Afghanistan: Flash Flood Situation Report Date: 27 April 2014 (covering 24-26 April) Situation Overview: Heavy rainfall beginning on 24 April caused flash floods in nine northern and western provinces. Initial reports obtained from provincial authorities indicate that 95 people have lost their lives and many others are still missing. In addition, the flooding has displaced more than 2,284 families and negatively impacted more than 5,565 families. The flooding also resulted in the destruction of public facilities, roads, and thousands of hectares of agricultural land and gardens. IOM, in close coordination with the Afghan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) and Provincial Disaster Management Committee (PDMC) members, mobilized to the affected areas for rapid joint assessments in order to verify the emergency needs of the affected families. Based on the findings of these assessments, IOM and partners are planning interventions for the affected populations. Highlights: • In addition to available stocks prepositioned in the Northern Region, IOM dispatched 787 Family Revitalization Kits, 400 Winter Modules, 150 Family Modules, 550 Blanket Modules, 1,000 Emergency Shelter Kits from its warehouses in Kabul and Paktia on 27 April. • According to ANDMA officials and community elders, the gabion walls recently constructed by IOM in Sar- e-Pul, Sholgara District of Balkh Province and Farkhar District of Takhar Province protected the respective communities from flooding. • IOM field staff, including female staff members, from other regions have been deployed to facilitate Joint assessments and distributions in affected parts of the Northern Region. • IOM is coordinating and actively participating in all assessments in the affected provinces.
