7 1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY SOUTH ASIA - EARTHQUAKE A 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck south Asia on the morning of October 8, devastating parts of northern Pakistan, India and Afghanistan. The epicentre of the earthquake was located 95 kilometres northeast of the Pakistan capital Islamabad. The earthquake immediately destroyed many buildings, and strong aftershocks threatened buildings already damaged by the initial earthquake. In areas of the Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir and Northwest Frontier Province (NWFP), many villages were almost wiped out. Unverified reports from the region describe 80-90% destruction in the cities and villages in northern Pakistan and in the Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir, particularly Muzaffarabad and Mansehra, towns with populations of over 200,000. The region, home to a population of 4 million, has suffered extensive damage. One million people are in acute need of assistance. Casualty figures are difficult to predict and vary greatly. On the second day, officials stated 18,000 casualties, whereas on the third day, other officials were quoting over 30,000 dead. Neither figure can be confirmed, but higher figures are to be expected as rescue and recovery operations continue. In several parts of Pakistan, schools were in session when the earthquake struck, and many schools collapsed, trapping students inside. The type of stone- and mud-sided construction leaves little hope for survivors inside buildings. Many public-sector workers were among the victims, hampering the ability to rebuild. There are enormous logistical difficulties in the region: landslides have cut off many roads, allowing access only by foot or helicopter. Slowly, roads to the most affected areas are being opened, but remote areas can only be reached by limited air resources. Due to strong and frequent aftershocks, survivors are afraid to go back inside buildings that have been damaged by the earthquake. Many are sleeping in fields. There is an urgent need for tents to house these people, especially winterised tents in the northern areas as the temperatures are beginning to drop. Medical care is also in critical need as most of the hospitals in the affected areas have been destroyed. Food and water are also in short supply. Based on reports from the nine cluster groups, the total amount of money needed in this initial appeal is US$ 311,876,000 for actions up to six months. Given that the disaster occurred 72 hours ago and access is still impossible to many of the areas struck by the earthquake, the projects outlined in this initial flash appeal focus on life-saving issues. The projects are to be adjusted and expanded to include more focus on recovery in the near future as soon as more precise information is available. 1

9 2. CONTEXT AND HUMANITARIAN CONSEQUENCES 2.1 Context At 8:50 on Saturday 8 October 2005 a 7.6 magnitude earthquake struck the northern area of Pakistan, 95 kilometres northeast of the capital Islamabad. Numerous strong aftershocks followed, some registering 5.6 on the Richter scale. Massive destruction resulted from the initial earthquake and the aftershocks. As much as 80-90% of cities and villages in the most affected areas were destroyed. The earthquake also caused landslides that closed roads and limited rescue attempts. The most affected areas are Muzafarrabad and Mansehra, however the effects were felt from India to Afghanistan. The most severely affected areas are also among some of the least developed regions of Pakistan. Communications, already poor, are now severed. In addition, there are some 800,000 Afghans living in settlements and urban areas in NWFP many of whom were also affected by the earthquake. In the first two days since the earthquake struck, numerous governments and relief agencies have pledged support for the survivors. Several countries and rescue organisations have provided search and rescue teams and other relief in the form of mobile hospitals, tents, blankets, food and water. 2.2 Humanitarian Consequences The impact of the earthquake has been catastrophic in terms of the number of casualties and damage to the health care system including human resources, buildings, equipment, vehicles, etc. The chief areas affected are all areas of Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir and NWFP Districts of Mansehra, Abbotabad, Battagram, Kohistan and Shangla. Initial reports are that all health facilities and schools in Muzaffarabad and Rawalakot towns of Pakistan-administered part of Kashmir and Balakot of Mansehra District have collapsed with huge loss of life and resources. In the other towns, facilities have been destroyed and all activities are being undertaken outside under tents. An estimated four million population have been affected, of which one million severely, including Afghan refugees. Initial assessments have been hampered as telephone and road communications have been disrupted by the earthquake and resulting landslides and broken lines. There are reports that thousands of people are homeless with either partial or complete destruction of their houses and damage to the water and sanitation network. The Pakistani authorities have appealed for tents, blankets, medicines, immediate food assistance, water provision equipment, water purification kits and tablets, and field hospitals as well as alternative facilities such as prefabricated or mobile health clinics. Indeed, the immediate impact of the earthquake has been felt at the level of hospitals, where quick and essential surgical care is needed for the injured. With many hospitals destroyed and damaged, existing hospitals are overloaded and surgical teams; supplies and medicines for trauma are needed. The destruction of health facilities, including many hospitals, and the impeded physical access due to landslides will imply a need for transferring patients, re-organising health facilities and allocating staff and resources Based on a very preliminary assessment of the situation, and on a wealth of experience in the region, the priorities for this crisis are: health, nutrition, logistics, shelter, camp management, water and sanitation, protection, information and telecommunications, and recovery. 3
