Here's The Story
* Aug 14 Two Phase Mission: To conduct a survey the area to determine the most neglected area where instant relief is needed, and to establish contacts with local administration and security forces so that their help can be enlisted for our next round of relief work.
* We focused on Kashmore district because it being neglected by private donors and the local administration did not have enough sources to provide food to ALL the IDPS (Internally displaced persons).
* 1800 ration bags were a drop in the ocean compared to what was needed out there, but we knew each bag delivered there would make a difference as people out there were truly destitute. Ration packs were delivered in schools set up as IDP camps and also to IDPS settled on the outskirts of Kashmore city
* Each ration pack had enough food to feed a family of 5 to 7 for a minimum of 7 days. In addition to our Shikarpur trip, we identified a school housing 1000 or so IDPS in most horrible living conditions. With help of local administration we decided to "adopt" this school named Govt High School # 2, whereby we would be responsible for food and hygiene of the inhabitants while local administration would look after their medical needs. However if for any reason the local administration fail in looking after their medical needs then MCP Flood Relief drive will arrange a medical camp in School # 4.
* A system of ID cards has been placed to ensure that there is no duplication of distribution of any item to any one person. On Emergency basis we have employed sweepers, provided soaps and other hygiene products, water coolers, hand fans and milk for children.
* Rations packs to School # 4, will be delivered by an MCP team over the weekend as we felt that the food being provided by the city government was inadequate. The management of the school # 4 will be with MCP using local administration + Pakistan Rangers for monitoring of over all cleanliness and water supply. School #4 will be under MCP management for a duration of 4 to 12 weeks depending on how soon the IDPS can leave.
* MCP will be sending more relief and helping others in distributing their goods with relief pakcs. Three teams will leave Karachi for Dadu, Noshero Feroz and Sukker/ Shikarpur.The Sukker / Shikarpur team's goal is to provide further relief to school # 4 and to establish systems and controls for its management, while Dadu and Noshero feroz teams will be distributing ration packs only.
Our work has just begun, from what we have seen a lot more needs to be done over next 2 to 3 months.
TEAM MCP looks forward
to your continued support
