Photo by: UNHCR HIGHLIGHTS • Identification and profiling of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who are moving out the affected areas is urgently needed. Report state that most of these IDPs are leaving through airports and seaports with ( if any ) minimal controls. This situation increases the risk that women and children (especially if unaccompanied ) are exposed to human trafficking. • Power remains cut off in some parts of Regions IV-B, V, VI, VII, and VIII. This lack of electricity/lighting increases protection risk among IDPs both in evacuation centers and house-based. Women and children are particularly at risk in the nights. • The need for plastic sheetings for temporary shelter and roofing continue to increase as damage and needs assessment started to reach more affected-areas. • Damage and need assessment among local government units and humanitarian actors is ongoing however, there are still isolated areas that have not been reached yet. Delivery of humanitarian assistance in isolated areas remains a challenge due to broken bridges and road. • IDPs living in evacuation centers are sharing small spaces and there is no privacy. Tensions are on the rise. • Female police officers are limited in Region VIII – the severely damaged region. • Basic services facilities including hospitals and airports were severely devastated. Primary crisis responders are also affected hence; immediate respond to IDPs is hampered. • Providing information on missing families and persons remain one of the information needs of IDPs.
