Severe flooding and landslides in the first half of 2014 seriously affected over 150 000 people. An estimated 8 850 homes were totally destroyed and 8 345 badly damaged. Significant impact on harvests and rural livelihoods is expected.
The Shelter Cluster, with the support of OCHA, has developed a Shelter Response Plan (SRP) to cover in a coordinated manner the needs for transitional shelters before the onset of winter, i.e. late October in most of the affected area. At least 8 100 units are urgently needed. The total funding requirement taking into account the standardized shelter design is USD 24 million. There is urgency in responding to the needs before the coming winter.
Aditionally new wave of displacement from North Waziristan Agency in Pakistan following the launch of military operations by the Pakistan Army against armed non state actors in North Waziristan has taken place since mid-June. Nearly one million people are now displaced. UNHCR Afghanistan reports an estimated 13 600 families (estimated over 112 000 individuals) displaced into the Khost and Paktika provinces of Afghanistan. A scaling up of relief efforts is urgently needed to provide food, WASH, shelter, health services and medicines to the displaced. Services in Khost and Paktika are reported as overstretched. An joint UN and NGO Preliminary Response Plan (PRP) with an appeal for funding has been launched shortly for an estimated USD 24 million.
