About 400,000 people in the Sindh district have been displaced due to the flooding from the Indus River. Conditions are very difficult in the camps due to the relentless heat, lack of easy access to safe water and an astonishing lack of basic sanitation facilities being available.
AAI staff met with the local government coordinator, who stated that 60 latrines have been established to date - over 10,000 are required.
Basic shelter has been provided to pockets of IDP, however many still remain without tents. The high number of children that are located in the camps do not have organised activities in which to engage, nor do they have access to educational sessions or materials.
AAI are working with its local partners providing technical disaster management expertise to increase their capacity to ensure services to IDP populations are targeted and effective.
