Highlights
According to national authorities, movement of people from the dam basin has been completed.
Currently an estimated 2,800 households (HHs) are staying in Chingwizi camp.
An estimated 1,000 HHs did not receive any tents or tarpaulins and remain in need of urgent shelter assistance.
Water trucking continues with a capacity of 90,000 litres of water delivery per day.
A clinic infrastructure has been set up and a disease surveillance system is closely monitoring the situation at the camp.
Food is reportedly sufficient up to end of March, but additional assistance is urgently needed from April onwards.
Pegging of permanent plots started on Saturday 8 March. It is not clear when the permanent relocation of HHs will be completed at this point.
In view of limited humanitarian funding, permanent relocation of HHs should be accelerated.
