IDP's LIVING IN HOST COMMUNITIES-KOHAT [1/2]

In this video report about Orakzai & Kurram IDP's living in hosting district of Kohat Mr. Amjad Hussain found that a large number of the IDPs are living in rented accommodation and the remainders are staying with host families. A high percentage of IDPs had difficulty accessing distribution points for humanitarian assistance; a large percentage of IDPs are not registered or having difficulties in registering themselves particularly women; food, health, water and education were the main issues of IDPs.

There is a need to speed up registration and verification.Women and girls need access to identity cards,food and NFIs and female doctors. This can be addressed with an adequate number of separate desks at distribution points, mobile NADRA units, mobile food and NFI units,
provision of female doctors.

As the Pakistan Humanitarian Response Plan (PHRP) 2010 was launched less than a month
ago, the donor community is still slow at contributing to the plan. Funds are urgently needed to continue essential humanitarian relief work in the affected areas in NWFP and FATA.
