The main objective is to tackle the water situation as the priority issue for the region and the aim is to provide five litres per day per person to these small groups of people. On 27th August the MSF team distributed 30 m3 of chlorinated water in Jamshoro town, but in three days our capacity had already reached 180 m3 a day in six locations for approximately 10,000 people.
Daily mobile clinics have also started this week achieving 130 consultations a day per site in the and a further 500 tents have been ordered for the NFI distributions which will also begin this week targeting 5,000 to 10,000 families.
On the Northern axis (from Jamshoro, up to Sehwan, on the west side of the river) MSF has located more than 10,150 people in open settings. There are at least seven small pockets of displaced people who are living by the side of the road.
Only one of these small pockets has received any kind of assistance thus far, while shelter is a high priority as groups of people can be seen actively looking for shade. They have no access to water, and healthcare is an obvious question as they are on the main road, and not getting the same attention as in Jamshoro/Hyderabad camps.
