Situation update:
 This district was severely affected by August 2010 floods. 3781 villages (70 percent of district villages) were
flooded. Over 938,659, 95 percent of the pre-flood populations, were affected. 85 percent of district area got
inundated blocking 1365 Kms of roads (85 percent of total roads) for six weeks. Arial operations were the only
means to provide emergency supplies in the beginning of the disaster. Injuries could be as high as 1,235 people
and the death toll as 173 persons. Nearly 9,300 livestock were lost due to floods.
 142,221 to 156,442 houses were destroyed and farming land was heavily affected. Thousands of households
will recover only with external support given the protracted emergency in this district. Significant needs for
food, shelter, WASH, and health were reported as the winter is in its critical peak; winterization items are highly
needed. As population depend on agriculture, support in agriculture and basic community assists can
accelerate recovery of the communities. Many children are reported not accessing education after floods and
hence and improved access can prevent break down of child education. District authorities were thriving to
restart education system by vacating IDPs from schools and public buildings but many schools are yet not
functioning due to need for repairs or complete reconstruction. Though access has been problem in the first six
weeks, most roads are opened for aid agencies for aid supplies. It is among the least funded districts from ERF
projects.

Key Humanitarian Challenges:
 Shortage of funds for most clusters; Donor priorities not matching on humanitarian context.
 Lack of tracking and monitoring of returning IDPs resulting in lack of guidance for aid actors in terms of
magnitude of needs in the respective UCs or villages of return.
 There is a need to improve coordination at district level between aid agencies and local authorities.
