Highlights

• Humanitarian response efforts continue in the wake of the 5.9-magnitude earthquake in the southeast region on 22 June. To date, about 376,000 people have been reached through at least one form of assistance, including 124,000 people through food and agricultural support; 93,000 with emergency shelter and non-food items (NFIs); 66000 with protection; and 90,000 with Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). Another 313,000 people received comprehensive WASH assistance – soap and chlorine tablets – as part of preventive measures to prevent the spread of acute watery diarrhea (AWD); In addition, 152,000 medical consultations were provided.

• Joint Needs Assessment Teams (JATs) assessed 197,000 people (over 29,000 households) in 184 villages across five districts – Barmal and Giyan in Paktika Province, Shamal, Spera and Tani in Khost Province. In total, about 100,000 people (14,000 families) were identified as needing humanitarian assistance.

• Of the 14,052 homes identified as requiring emergency shelter assistance, 53 percent of homes were confirmed destroyed, 46 percent severely damaged, and 1 percent moderately damaged. At the time of the assessment, more than 40 percent of the affected households were found to live in open spaces or temporary settlements, with 98 percent of the affected households reporting loss, damage, or damage to household items. Furthermore, 58 percent of assessed households reported not having enough water, and 95 percent reporting open defecation. Clear signs of acute malnutrition among community members were also observed in half of the villages assessed.

• Following feedback from affected communities in Ziruk and Neka districts in Paktika district and Wazza Zadran district in Paktia, assessments are now launched following delays caused by recent floods.

• To date, 40 percent of the $110 million financial requirement for the three-month emergency response plan has been committed or received. This figure reflects the initial estimated number of people living in highly affected areas, and the “no regrets” approach taken in the initial phase of the response. As the response moves into the next phase of implementation, partners will move from providing immediate relief (provided to all people in earthquake-affected areas) to priority, but more costly, interventions, such as earthquake-sensitive shelter repairs.

• All earthquake-affected areas were considered in the 2022 winter prioritization process, with all areas not including Thani categorized as high priority in intersectoral prioritization, as well as for most cluster-specific priorities.
