1 INDIA/GUJARAT: EARTHQUAKE 16 March 2001 appeal no. 04/01 situation report no. 18 period covered: March 2001 The Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) / Federation operation continues to make progress and surveys are being conducted to analyse further needs in relation to relief, health and water and sanitation. Some 430 patients were treated at Red Cross medical facilities over the reporting period and three cases of meningitis have been admitted to the Red Cross hospital. The nutritional survey is taking place according to schedule and data collection is due to be completed tomorrow (17 March). Following distributions in Bhuj town, the villages of Mundra and Mandvi and in Nakhatrana and Abdasa talukas (sub districts), plans for distribution of tents are currently under review. Initial findings of the recovery and rehabilitation planning mission have been drawn up and communicated to participating national societies. The context At hours on Friday, 26 January, a series of powerful earthquakes struck Gujarat state in western India, peaking at a massive 7.9 on the Richter scale, with tremors being felt across several states as well as in Delhi and Mumbai (Bombay) and in neighbouring Pakistan. The epicentre of the quake was 30 km north of the town of Bhuj (population of 150,000), the headquarters of Gujarat s Kutch district while, at the same time, seriously affecting all the area within a range of 100 km from the epicentre including Ahmadabad, the largest city in the state of Gujarat. Infrastructure has been severely damaged, resulting in large scale collapse of buildings, mine cave-ins, train derailments and power failure, cutting off the water supply. A series of aftershocks (more than 400 with 19 measuring over 5 on the Richter scale) has been keeping the population and the authorities on constant alert.

2 India is divided into five seismic zones with respect to the severity of earthquakes. The entire Kutch area lies close to the western margin of the Indian plate and falls into zone 5. It is thus very prone to earthquakes. According to the 1991 census, the population in Kutch district was 1.2 million. It is estimated that the population in the district before the earthquake had reached around 1.6 million. Latest events The demolition of buildings in Bhuj town continues. The population, however, has started showing the first signs of dissatisfaction with the speed of government work in reconstruction. It is considered that the emergency phase has now been completed and that recovery should take place at a much faster pace. According to the state government, 203 of 256 of the most affected villages have been adopted for reconstruction by some 40 NGOs and private companies. The category of most affected villages includes those where 70 per cent of the infrastructure was damaged and which are located in the districts of Kutch, Rajkot, Surendranagar, Mahesana and Jamnagar. The state government has confirmed that the rehabilitation programme should be tailored to suit the lifestyle of the people in the region and it therefore plans to establish 1,000 construction banks in the quake-affected areas where bricks, stones and iron bars will be made available at reasonable rates. For supervision and guidance, some 3,000 temporary engineers will be engaged. The water supply department will provide water to the villages for construction work, as necessary. Quoting meteorological department sources, the state authorities have issued reports through Doordarshan (national television) and other media, stating that there is little chance of another major earthquake in the affected area. Red Cross/Red Crescent action Overview The International Federation has sought CHF 25.6 million in cash, kind and services to assist 300,000 beneficiaries (60,000 families) for four months to support the Indian Red Cross Society activities in the most affected areas in the district of Kutch, state of Gujarat. A revised appeal covering the recovery and rehabilitation phase, will be issued after a partnership meeting in New Delhi on 21 and 22 March Some 40 Red Cross Red Crescent Societies and/or their governments have so far extended their support to the International Federation operation while 19 Red Cross Red Crescent partners have confirmed their participation in the partnership meeting. To date, the main objective has been to provide beneficiaries with essential shelter, health and medical services, safe water and other urgently needed relief items. In support of the efforts of the IRCS, Red Cross Red Crescent Societies responded with relief supplies and emergency response units (ERUs) comprising a 350-bed joint Norwegian/Finnish Red Cross emergency response referral hospital, German and French Red Cross water and sanitation units, a Japanese Red Cross mobile clinic, a British Red Cross logistics emergency response team, a telecommunications emergency response team from the Austrian and Spanish Red Cross Societies and a Spanish Red Cross emergency response primary health care unit. To date, 14,897 patients have been treated in the Red Cross health facilities, 403 operations have been performed and 140 deliveries have taken place. Since 3 February, 1,208 patients have been x-rayed and 1,405 tests have been conducted in the laboratory. Fifty one deaths have been registered so far. Approximately 216,000 blankets, 74,000 tarpaulins, 4,400 tents, 19,000 kitchen s and 18,000 water containers have been distributed since the operation commenced on 3 February Each family assisted receives two tarpaulins and five blankets, with water containers and kitchen s provided to those whose homes have been completely destroyed. 2

3 More than 50 water tanks (storage tanks, collapsible bladder tanks, onion tanks) with capacity ranging from 2,000 litres to 95,000 litres, have been installed by the French and German Red Cross Societies water/sanitation teams in the area of Bhuj, Anjar and Bhachau, totalling 494,000 litres of water storage capacity. The German Red Cross water purification facility in the Red Cross compound in Bhuj produces approximately 70,000 litres of water per day for the Red Cross hospital and the compound in general. The emergency response units operating from the Red Cross compound (medical, water/sanitation, telecommunications) in the town of Bhuj as well as from Sukhpur (medical) and Bhachau (medical) have been increasingly integrating into the Federation s system and structures. Indian Red Cross Society and the recovery and rehabilitation phase Attention is now focused on the forthcoming partnership meeting to be hosted by the Indian Red Cross Society in Delhi on 21 and 22 March At this meeting, the findings and recommendations of the International Federation planning mission which worked in close co-operation with the IRCS, will be presented. A summary of the initial findings of the planning mission, assigned to India to prepare a strategic framework, plan of action and budget for the recovery and rehabilitation phase of the operation in Gujarat has been shared with the participating Red Cross Red Crescent national societies. The partnership meeting in Delhi will address opportunities for longer term support and commitment to the IRCS in the areas of capacity building, reconstruction, health, water and sanitation, disaster preparedness and response and possible unmet relief needs, with the overall objective of achieving a consensus on the planning mission recommendations and agreeing on a coordinated implementation structure with the host national society. Health The local authorities have recently requested that the Red Cross hospital in Bhuj submit regular health reports to facilitate record-keeping. Furthermore, the district health office in Bhuj submitted a list indicating the government health structure in Kutch. The list includes: - 37 primary health centres; - 37 dispensaries (all primary health centres have dispensary facilities); - 8 community health centres; - 3 hospitals at town level (Bhuj, Gandhidham and Mandvi); - 14 mobile dispensaries available from the district headquarters in Bhuj; - 1 tuberculosis hospital and 2 tuberculosis sanatoria (Bharapar and Mandvi); - 1 psychiatric hospital in Bhuj; - 1 district training centre in Bhuj; - 22 ayurvedic hospitals; - 4 homeopathic hospitals. Assessments will be made in the government primary health centres in order to identify needs in terms of medicines and equipment. At the same time, an inventory in the medical warehouse has started and representatives of certain pharmaceutical companies have been contacted as potential longer-term suppliers. Three cases of tuberculoid meningitis have been admitted to the Red Cross hospital. A referral system with the partly damaged tuberculosis sanatorium in Bhapasar has been established. Thus, acute tuberculosis cases (meningitis, pneumonia) will be treated in the Red Cross hospital and then referred to the sanatorium for further treatment. An increasing number of cardiac problems in young patients have been registered. These problems are related to the earthquake trauma with late symptoms. 3

4 The table below shows the number of patients treated in all Red Cross medical facilities during the reporting period: Reporting period March Norwegian/Finnish Red Cross emergency response referral hospital in Bhuj Japanese Red Cross clinic in Sukhpur Spanish Red Cross primary health care unit in Bhachau Treated patients (total) Surgical operations Trauma cases Inpatients Deliveries Deaths X-ray Laboratory tests average Red Cross hospital technicians have started constructing a warming table for prematurely born babies. The decision has been made to close down the isolation ward as no major influx of diarrhoeal cases is expected in the near future. Epidemiological figures on the most prevalent diseases have been received from the WHO and will be used for planning related to recovery and rehabilitation, as well as providing background information for the nutritional survey. The nutritional survey continues according to the established schedule. Data collection has started and is to continue until Saturday, 17 March. In parallel with data collection, four team members have begun data entry. Water and sanitation The water and sanitation team continues to provide sufficient quantities of potable water and good sanitation facilities within the Red Cross compound and in the field. The team continuously assists the local authorities in preventing the spread of disease among the population in Bhuj and Anjar. Following the partnership meeting in Delhi, longer term plans for the construction of sanitation facilities in urban and rural areas will be finalised. More comprehensive assessments of the water and sanitation system in the affected areas show that urban areas in this part of Gujarat obtain drinking water mostly from bore wells, following which it is pumped into water towers. The water coming from the wells is potable only when chlorinated. From the towers, water flows either into the city networks or is delivered to the reservoirs (collective water points) by trucks. As a result of two years of drought in the area, the water authorities have been transporting water to remote areas for some time; however, the earthquake increased the need for water trucks. In rural areas, water from bore wells is either pumped to reservoirs and towers or is trucked to collective water points. There are also hand pumps and open wells in remote villages. Logistics The logistics movements during the reporting period (13-15 March) are as follows: Received Unit National Society 8,000 tarpaulins Australian Red Cross 2,750 kitchen s Federation 4,080 buckets Belgian Red Cross 4,080 kitchen s Belgian Red Cross 4

5 166 tents 1,400 kitchen s 8,190 tarpaulins 5,000 buckets British Red Cross American Red Cross American Red Cross American Red Cross Dispatched 1,750 tarpaulins 840 kitchen s 2,880 buckets 2,040 kitchen s 890 blankets 7,302 blankets 5,350 blankets 2,997 tarpaulins Unit National Society American Red Cross American Red Cross Federation Federation Iranian Red Crescent British Red Cross Japanese Red Cross Belgian Red Cross One flight arrived in Bhuj on 13 March with 8,190 tarpaulins from the American Red Cross. Relief distributions Over the reporting period, distributions took place in Bhuj town, the villages of Mundra, Mandvi, and Nakhatrana and Abdasa talukas. Following the latest assessments in the towns of Bhuj, Bhachau, Anjar and Rapar, the schedule for distribution of tents has been reviewed. The original plan was to distribute 32,400 tents by the end of March. According to the most recent findings, Bhachau should receive 2,000 additional tents and Rapar 5,600. The authorities in Anjar indicate that they would welcome the distribution of tents only if this falls within the retlement objectives of the state government. The authorities in Bhuj consider that distribution of shelter material should not continue beyond March as humanitarian agencies should rather focus on rehabilitation. It was also acknowledged that it would be difficult to continue with tent distributions in Bhuj given the close proximity of the communities and the high value of the items distributed. However, the intention is to continue the distribution of tarpaulins and blankets in Bhuj. To date, approximately 3,500 families have received 2 tarpaulins and 5 blankets. Due to the current situation as regards tents, it was recommended that pending orders for tents be cancelled, whilst the remaining quantities on the ground could be relocated to other districts or rural areas in Kutch which are not covered by other agencies. Nine villages in Rapar taluka have been visited and needs for tents have been confirmed in seven of these villages. The distribution breakdown for March is as follows: Distributed 14,028 blankets 6,874 tarpaulins 3,157 kitchen s 3,157 buckets Unit Tracing Draft tracing criteria to be applied in Gujarat have been prepared by the ICRC for discussion with the Indian Red Cross Society; the ICRC and the National Society are working together in this traditional Red Cross Red Crescent area of activity. A meeting was held with the chief editor of the Kutch Mitra newspaper concerning the data published on the newspaper s website. This data relating to the dead and the missing is collected from individuals and community representatives and does not reflect official information. It was pointed out that the 5

6 number of new entries had decreased considerably over the last two weeks; however, the lists will continue to be published as long as there are new entries. A meeting was also held with the statistics assistant at the general hospital in Bhuj (public hospital) to introduce the IRCS tracing officer and to ensure access to available information covering patients transferred to public hospitals outside the district of Kutch. Additionally, the government of Gujarat has requested the hospital to collect information on patients transferred to private hospitals outside the district. Patients whose identity is unknown are usually registered separately. However, no such patients have been registered or treated in the hospital since the occurrence of the earthquake. Telecommunications Applications for four land lines for the Red Cross compound have been submitted to the local authorities; land line based internet access has been also requested. As VHF radio connections with the Spanish Red Cross team located in Bhachau have deteriorated due to the increasing heat, additional telecommunications equipment has been requested for the Spanish Red Cross team. The operating area is, otherwise, well covered by the VHF system. Changes are expected in the computer network and the radio system when the administrative team moves into a new tent next week. Outstanding needs Additional unearmarked cash contributions remain of paramount importance, particularly in view of the envisaged recovery and rehabilitation phase of the Red Cross Red Crescent operations in Gujarat. The International Federation is urgently seeking a health co-ordinator, an information/reporting delegate, two relief delegates and a construction delegate, all based in Bhuj. External relations - Government/UN/NGOs/Media At the health sector co-ordination meetings, UNICEF has clearly taken the lead in psycho-social issues. Merlin and Save the Children have committed to provide semi-permanent health structures in different talukas. UNICEF, at the same time, plans to cover health sub-centres. There are no plans to build permanent structures. A tent distribution co-ordination meeting was organised by the Federation on 13 March with the objective to identify gaps in the distribution of tents in villages. The meeting was attended by representatives of Islamic Relief, Save the Children, World Vision, HelpAge India and DFID. A follow up meeting was scheduled for today (16 March). Representatives of the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC), UK recently visited Bhuj and held two co-ordination meetings with NGOs operating in the area. A presentation of the Federation operations in Kutch was given on the occasion. A Hello magazine team headed by a public figure from Great Britain visited the Red Cross hospital in Bhuj and is a potential donor for the artificial limbs programme.
