IRNA Report: Mvolo County, Western Equatoria August Situation overview

Transcription

1 IRNA Report: Mvolo County, Western Equatoria August 2015 This IRNA Report is a product of Inter-Agency Assessment mission conducted and information compiled based on the inputs provided by partners on the ground including; government authorities, affected communities/idps and agencies Situation overview On 9 August 2015, a report by RRC coordinator of Mvolo County indicated that over 10 people had died due to hunger. In response an interagency team was formed to conduct an assessment that could establish the exact cause of suspected deaths with a view of understanding better the underlying issues behind the reported hunger related deaths. The findings would also enable, humanitarian partners make informed decisions regarding provision if humanitarian support to the affected population in Mvolo County. Data collection was conducted through focus group discussions, key informant interviews with community leaders, health workers and individuals from the affected population. Three Payams of Mvolo Payam which host IDPs and are affected most by the food insecurity include Mvolo Payam, Yeri Payam and Kokori Payam. About f 42,723, individuals [18723 IDPs and 23,000 host community members] are affected by the food shortage, which has resulted into both severe and moderate malnutrition among children, pregnant and lactating mothers. Generally men, women and children are all affected by the situation. The Malnutrition has reduced the capacity of some members of the affected community to resist and recover from diseases such as Typhoid, Malaria, and Diarrhea among others. This explains the report of death related to hunger sent by the RRC The late start of rains, followed by dry spell has delayed the availability of green harvest at this time, leading to continued food insecurity. All households have significantly reduced food consumption Households around towns of Mvolo and Yeri depend on the market for food, but many cannot afford the food prices, moreover stocks are low in the market. Other families rely on wild vegetables and unusual consumption of bitter/acidic variety of cassava that is reported to have contributed to some death. The immediate assistance needed includes general food distribution for the months of September and October for about 41,000 people (IDPs and host community), nutritional supplements for malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women. Provision of essential NFIs like mosquito nets and blankets, repair of broken Water hand pumps, hygiene promotion, immunization, restocking of drugs at health centres to reduce the increased incidences of malaria, typhoid, diarrhea that have contributed to the morbidity and deaths reported in Mvolo. For the long term, there is need for crop diversification and introduction of faster maturing varieties of grain crops like Sorghum.

3 Drivers and underlying factors 3 The main drivers of the current crisis include; disruption of agricultural activities and traditional copying mechanisms of the displaced population as result of the multiple displacements from Payams bordering lakes state. Households displaced last a year or two years earlier returned earlier this year to their homelands, but were again attacked, looted of property and displaced by the cattle keepers. In addition, the delayed rain and dry spell have significantly reduced the availability of green harvest that would usually help during the lean season. The cultivation of a traditional variety of sorghum that takes about 6 months to mature worsens the current food shortage. Earliest grain harvest is expected in November and December 2015; this is worsened by limited variety of alternative crops. Even if the rains resume main planting period is past and crops are already affected by the dry spell may not yield well. The dry spell being experienced now will require close monitoring of the food security situation in the coming months and early next year. Scope of the crisis and humanitarian profile Mvolo is one of the ten counties of Western Equatoria bordering Rumbek East county and Maridi County. It has a history of perpetual conflict with armed pastoralist communities of Rumbek East who usually come to graze herds of cattle on lands of Mvolo County Community, who are entirely Crop cultivators. The intrusion often destroys their crops and has been the major cause of inter-tribal clashes between the two communities leading to displacement of population within Mvolo County. The current food insecurity is majorly a result of the conflict that occurred between December 2014 and February 2015, which resulted to loss of lives, serious gunshot injuries and displacement of the population mainly from Bahr-Girindi, Kokori Lesi and Dari. A needs assessment was conducted in the month of February 2015 by RRC and report was shared but none of the recommendations were implemented. Populations cope by reducing meals and consuming wild vegetable, less known food sources such as bitter/acidic varieties of cassava leading to health problems including death. There are also more women involved in selling of firewood to earn money for purchasing grains from the market. More men are trying to sell poles, do fishing in Mvolo and Yeri. Some households have started migrating from Mvolo County to Mundri counties for survival Among IDPs displaced from Bahr-Grindi in Dec. 2014, the men tried to go back in April to cultivate but they were again displaced by the cattle rustlers and have not returned since. Current population figures 1 Payam H/H 0-4yrs 5-17yrs 18-59yrs 60+yrs Total Host population (2008 Census) M F M F M F M F M F HH Individual Mvolo Yeri Kokori 572 4,955 Total Based on best available figures for initial planning purposes, valid until independent registration is completed 3

4 Note: RRC has confirmed that Kokori Payam is not accessible at the moment 4 IDPs as of 16 July 2015 in Mvolo County number 18,723 individuals and affected host population is estimated at 23,000 individuals. This is a working figure and required verification Status of the population in the affected area The affected population consisting of both IDPs and hosting population lives at peace between themselves. They share resources, but due to this increased pressure on resources such as food, clean water and shelter, these resources are now extremely insufficient. All categories of people: Girls, Women, boys and men are suffering from lack of adequate food; however, Children and lactating women are the most affected by malnutrition Search for wild vegetables, firewood for sale from the bushes poses threat of SGBV. Attempts to return the areas of origin earlier this year were frustrated by new attacks by the pastoralists. Key response priorities Food Security and Livelihoods 50% GFD to support the livelihood during the critical period of September and October as they wait for the harvest of the long term sorghum in November and December. Close monitoring of the situation through Cooperating partners who are on the ground especially NPA Nutrition Emergency Provision of both Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSFP) and Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program (BSFP) for IDPs and host population in affected areas for pregnant, lactating and children who are moderately malnourished (MAM) both in Mvolo and Yeri Payam by World Food Program (WFP). Provision of emergency food items to IDPs and Host community affected areas in both Mvolo and Yeri Payam Health Provision of carbohydrate giving food for the displaced families as well as the host community by WFP Provision of non food items such as blankets and other household items. Provide mosquito nets to the IDPs by SMOH/USAID Restock the health facilities with the medicines as appropriate by the health implementing partner- CMMB/SMOH. Supply of Pediatrics anti malaria and oral antibiotics. Nutrition supplementation for the pregnant and lactating mothers and the malnourished children-acef/cmmb Immediate supply of fuel for running the Mvolo CHD EPI refrigerators which have already been installed. By the SMOH/EPI manger/cmmb Supply of all functional cold chain with all EPI vaccines. 4

Intensify health education/social mobilization and defaulter tracing through HHPs and community leaders. By the CIP. Education Provide classroom tents as temporarily classrooms to provide shelter for school children to learn. Provide Emergency School supplies ( school in-a box, blackboards, recreational supplies and ECD Kits) are needed Support with WASH facilities in schools (drill boreholes and dig pit latrines). Protection Urgent food, health, Wash and NFIs support is needed to avoid further deterioration of well-being of the displaced population Provision of legal assistance to the families who were gang raped and killed in Lesi Payam Advocacy with County and State authorities in ensuring patrolling of organized forces in the areas of displacement to ensure safety and security of population to enable return of IDPs Community-based psychosocial support and activities for women and children Specific protective and support activities for women, children, persons with specific needs including persons with disabilities and older persons. Provision of dignity kits and sanitary materials for girls and women of reproductive health Case management, CMR, PSS and dignity kit support for GBV survivors Water and Sanitation Washing soap and some Jeri-cans to the most vulnerable groups in the community like the pregnant women, malnourished children and separated children. Repair of broken Water hand pumps Humanitarian access Physical access Kokori Payam is not accessible by car throughout the rain season due to the bad road condition. Only affected population who come to accessible areas may be accessed. Yeri and Mvolo centres are accessible as they lie along the main road leading to Rumbek. However 4x4 vehicles and trucks of medium sizes can move well on that road Security along this road is currently fair; no insecurity incidents have been reported around the assessment period. No cases of RMG presence, government restrictions, UXO s have been reported For transported of bulky relief supplies, it is better iof we can originate from Rumbek and the distance of shorter than that from Juba Humanitarian access No cases of RMG presence, government restrictions. 5

6 Key findings from the assessment Education Key findings school children (1204 boys and 942 girls) have been displaced into Mvolo and Yeri due to the past insecurity from neighboring Lakes State as indicated in the matrix below. 9 schools (8 primary and 1 EDC) have been affected. Education situation in both Mvolo and Yeri has been affected by impact of food crisis as a result of prolonged drought that has led to poor harvest and thus shortage of food. Classroom attendance started decreasing drastically from May to June, From July, 2015, all school is Mvolo closed down. Pupils were no longer turning up for classes in Mvolo Town Payam. In Yeri, schools are functioning, though the attendance is very low. There are two primary schools accommodating IDPs in Yeri: Dogereng Primary school from p1-p6 and Jebel Mari (P1-P5) with 52 boys and 45 girls who are IDPs. Jebel Mari was created specifically for IDPs. As such, it has no building structure. All classes are operating in open air under tree. There is report of school children dying of hunger related sickness. Almost all schools visited have no WASH facilities. Children have no access to clean water and toilet facilities. They defecate in the bush and take water along the streams nearby schools. One school had a borehole with poor yield of water. All schools have no sufficient learning spaces, with every school having some classes operating under trees.

Food security and livelihoods 6

7 7 Key findings Dry spell in June and erratic rains in May 2015, severely reduced crop performance and harvests as households only cultivated percent of the normal land sizes (1-2 feddan). Further, poor performance of non-farm food sources particularly fish and wild foods whose production below normal due to reduced level of water. This combined with last year s crop yield reductions has exacerbated food insecurity and triggered onset of an earlier than normal hunger season. Currently, local markets do not have the capacity offset the high food shortages and grain demand despite majority of households having purchasing power from sell of fire wood and burning of charcoal. From findings during this assessment, It is estimates that poor households (30-40 percent) including host community will potentially meet percent of their food needs during October- December 2015 when the long term sorghum is expected to be harvested especially in Mvolo Payam while in Yeri Payam, long term sorghum which is in vegetative stage is expected to harvested in January on condition that, the current trend of the rainfall improve. Malnutrition cases among small children have been confirmed in both Payams of Mvolo and Yeri this has been as result of insufficient food diet and reduced meal per day. There is ongoing harvest of Groundnuts in Mvolo Payam while in Yeri Payam; poor rainfall has failed the cultivation of maize and groundnuts. Typical food access conditions of poor households (reference or baseline) Wild foods (wild plants and game), Livestock, fish and crops are the main food sources. Purchase and exchange and kinship and complement these food sources. Wild Foods: The general season for hunting coincides with dry season cattle grazing from December through April, where hunting is concentrated. Main wild food accessed is the green leaves of wild plants. Fish: Fishing is only practiced in River Mvolo. There is no fishing near homes. Normally, when rains are sufficient and well distributed, even poor households can consume fish during most months of the year and the fishing start to reduce when the water level from river starts to recede in April. Crops: Crops grown consist of sorghum, maize and small quantities of beans pumpkins, okra, tomatoes, groundnuts and simsim. Maize is mostly eaten green. Depending on onset of rains, planting occurs during April -June and harvesting takes place in July and December. Green consumption is during July - August-end September. Currently, there is ongoing harvest of groundnut. Sesame is at late maturity stage while other households have decided to harvest it before it is fully mature. Long term sorghum is at advanced vegetative stage and is expected to be harvest between October and December in Mvolo Payam. In Yeri Payam, sesame is at late maturity stage and is expected to be harvested in earlier September while the long term sorghum is at vegetative stage and expected to be harvested in December if the Current rainfall trend improves. 7

8 8 Kinship: Poor households often get kinship support from better off relatives in form of a milking cow or some grain. A milking cow could be given to a poor household during the hunger season peak for six months. Labor: Labor contribution to the entire household food basket is minimal because is mostly communal Laath, where people are invited to work on farms and are rewarded with meals and wine/beer. Current market conditions: Market is functioning well but with limited capacity to support the current population. Discussion with traders in the local market indicated serious grain supply problems to local markets due to lack of credit, poor roads and limited importation of grains. Price of grain here is highest compared to the same time in August Poor household access to cash through the Sale of firewood, Charcoal to purchase food: Currently in Mvolo, 1kg of Maize flour is sold at 4SSP, I kg of sorghum is at 6SSP 1 kg of sesame at 10SSP, 1kg wheat flour 17SSP,1 litre of petrol at 20SSP, 1kg of Meat 20ssp, 1kg of fresh fish at 35, 1 kg of bean 10SSP cooking oil at 30SSP for 1 litre. Food security projections for poor households during September 2015: It is estimated that poor households including the host community will meet their food needs during the period of November and December when the long term sorghum is harvested. However, September October remains a critical period especially for Yeri and part of Mvolo Payam which has been hit by the erratic and dry spell without green harvest. If the current rainfall performance continues, it is likely to affect the production of the long term Sorghum which is at vegetative in Yeri and at advance vegetative stage in Mvolo, and it is projected that, Yeri is likely to have increasing number of malnutrition case as compared to Mvolo because of production is disrupted by poor rainfall. The NGO by name Apt Succor is expressed willingness to participate as implement partner for food distribution in Mvolo, if funding is available to it. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response 50% GFD to support the livelihood during the critical period of September and October as they wait for the harvest of the long term sorghum in November and December. Close monitoring of the situation through Cooperating partners who are on the ground especially NPA Health Key findings Mvolo Payam In Kurbabong, IDPs lacked space and sleeping materials thus exposing them especially the children to mosquitos and communicable diseases. The most common ailments which community complained about were malaria and diarrhea for which they visited Mvolo PHCC. They indicated that many times there were stock out of medicines in the PHCC and prescription was given to them to buy in the private clinics. In Kperi, out of the 7children identified U5 years of age 4 did not have a BCG scar and 2 of them had only Pentavalent 1, indicating a big lap in vaccination amongst the IDPs. Table 1: Health Data from 2 PHCCs (Mvolo and Yeri PHCC) Diseases Number of cases in last 7days Death 1 measles 0 0 8

9 2 Malaria 296 3(children) 3 Diarrhea Acute respiratory infection Cholera Injuries Pregnant related conditions Malnutrition Yeri Payam In Yeri PHCC the nursing officer interviewed said that, there has been an increase in the number of patients seen at the health facility since the month of July, these are from the IDPs coming from Lesi, Dari and Kokori areas. The most common ailment s reported was malaria, ARI and watery diarrhea. There were no reports of any unusual illnesses observed over the previous week There were only 3 births reported in Yeri PHCC.There were no maternal deaths reported.the services offered are free of charge. The health facility is managed by 3 nurses, 2 Cos, and 3 Vaccinators, 3 midwives 1 clerk and 1 lab technician and 1 lab assistant. They had adequate medicines to last one month but were lacking pediatrics suspensions (antibiotics and paracetamol) Antimalaria drugs preparation for toddlers was out of stock. Yeri PHCC has a nutrition program, which only dispenses nutrition supplements (Plumpy nuts) Mosquito nets are distributed to pregnant mothers ANCI and the children who are underfive. They offer EPI services at fixed site and currently were experiencing stock out of some vaccines (BCG and OPV. Vaccines are ordered from the cold Chain in Domeri. Reported failure in conducting outreached due to broken down EPI bicycles. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response Restock the health facilities with the medicines as appropriate (CMMB/SMOH) Immediate supply of fuel for running the Mvolo CHD EPI fridges which have already been installed.(smoh/epi manger/cmmb) Supply the vaccines Strengthen EPI services at fixed sites and outreaches with emphasis on areas with IDP concentrations (SMOH/CMMB/EPI) supervisors and vaccinators. Intensify health education/social mobilization and defaulter tracing through HHPs and community leaders. Nutrition Key findings The assessment findings confirm existence of malnutrition among the infant/children, pregnant and lactating women in the IDPs and Host communities visited villages in both Mvolo and Yeri Payam, which led to the death of about 13 people in both IDPs and host communities Women face significant, especially the breastfeeding mothers who have the natural role of breastfeeding despite inadequate food supply and the added responsibility of looking for vegetables to prepare for the family and children. There was one widowed pregnant woman who looked severely malnourished with Muac 18,5mm. The families had one meal per day sacrificing some meals so as to prepare porridge for the young ones. They Lacked carbohydrates foods since they already exhausted what the hosts could provide. This made their bodies weak and they could not participate well 9

10 10 in the odd jobs. A bunch of firewood sells at 3ssp which is hardly able to buy the cereals in the market. There was no food reserve or stored seen in any of the households visited In one homestead a woman was found preparing premature simsim seeds to mix with pumpkins vegetable and this would be the family meal. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response Emergency Provision of both Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSFP) and Blanket Supplementary Feeding Program (BSFP) in IDPs affected areas for both pregnant, lactating and children who are moderately malnourished (MAM) both Mvolo and Yeri Payam by World Food Program (WFP). Emergency Food distribution to IDPs and Host community in affected areas in both Mvolo and Yeri Payam to prevent the food insecurity situation from further deterioration ACEM is ready to implement the program, if resources are made available by funding partners, as the organization is implementing Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) in Mundri East and West Counties. Protection Key findings There is also the possibility of conflict continuing unless disarmament of Dinka community from Rumbek State and all surrounding areas is done. raiding along the border areas remained a major factor The IDPs fear to go back due to security concerns in their home Payams as they feel protection is not well enforced. The IDPs from Barigrindi and Lessi said that they will not go back unless some forces are deployed on the ground to provide protection for people IDPs have good relationship with the host community and they are well integrated with the host community 8 women were reported to have been raped during the incident by the attackers and 3 died on spot in Yeri Payam. Some cases of domestic violence were reported due to the failure of men to provide food for their families. Among the IDPs there were old people and people living with disabilities including children who needs urgent care and support According to the IDPs interviewed, about 13 children were reported to have lost their parents during the conflict of which 4 were said to be in Kperi, 5 in Badumu and 4 in Yeri. Some unaccompanied children and Orphans were also reported among IDPs. 4 children were also reported to be missing since the time of the incident and their whereabouts are not known. In November 2014, about 7 people were reported to have been killed and others were wounded in the part of Mvolo County. Earlier on in July 2015, 4 people were reported to have been killed and 3 wounded No registration of IDPs has been conducted in Barigrindi Payam both for the previous and new arrivals. Most IDPs found in areas of displacement are women and Children. They reported that abled men have gone back to cultivate and others have gone fishing in their areas of origin but will have to return back to areas of displacement before the start of the dry season. IDPs are displaced from the following areas: In Mvolo: a) Bahr-Grindi to Mvolo Payam. b) Killa to Kperi Boma. c) Bahar Grindi to Baduma Boma. In Yeri Payam IDPs are from Dari and Lessi Payams and they live in Dogereng Boma. Majority of IDPs came to areas of 10

11 11 displacements in late 2013 and have been given land and most of them have built their Tukuls, but some returned to their villages early this year and were attacked again IDPs expressed fear from pastoralists of Yirol County of Lakes state. They reported that the pastoralist normally attack them at the start of the dry season because this is the time they are in search of pasture for their cattle. In the four areas assessed (i.e. Mvolo and Yeri Payams), IDPs reported that they have not received any assistance from any NGO or Government and no registration by RRC or any agency took place. There is need for registration before any intervention of assistance. IDPs have built Tukuls for their accommodation but lack cooking utensils, blankets, mosquito nets and mats. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response There is need to conduct proper registration for the IDPs in-order to establish the exact figure of the affected population. There is need to provide food, NFIs, Shelter, Seeds and tools for both IDPs and host communities There is need to provide security for the people especially at Barigrindi and Lessi including other places There is need to assess the number of women who were raped during the incident such that they can access general medical attentions Support psychosocial support activities & safe spaces for children and youth as well as specialized services for persons with disability There is need for SGBV sensitization to the IDPs including the host community Material assistance for people with special needs i.e old people, the blinds, the orphans etc Shelter and NFIs Key findings Most IDPs have constructed tukuls and are living among the host community Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response Provision of Mosquito nets, beddings, cooking materials and blankets Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Key findings The WASH situation was assessed through interviews, Focus Group discussion, Observation and Field visits. The following water points were assessed.

Water is collect by both women and girls but sometimes by men using bicycles. I borehole is in the area but it is broken down for the past 2 years, several repair work has been done but it breaks down frequently due to over use. Poor hygiene and sanitation in IDPs and some host communities due to inaccessible safe water supply and lack of pit latrine in the community. Priorities for Immediate Humanitarian response Repair broken boreholes Washing soap and some jerry cans to the most vulnerable groups in the community like the pregnant women, malnourished children and separated children. 12
