Main
activities/Achievements: To lessen
the vulnerability of 257 families of
Sanjhoro Union Council of district Sanghar and some families residing at
outside the camps established by Government in Hyderabad Sungi
provided 257 Food Packages after detailed Household level
assessment of affectees. Sungi has supported the Dalat, Kohli, Christian and
Muslim communities through food aid in Sanjhoro union council, Wanrhki Wasi
(Hyderabad) and Sikandarabad (Near Kotri). Sungi ensured the implementation of Humanitarian
Standards and Principles in launching its response and launched Rights Based
Humanitarian Assistance in the mentioned region. The package details were
shared with the beneficiaries and they were encouraged to complain or give
their feedback regarding quality of work as well as the given package, this
developed the sense of ownership and empowerment among the affected
people.
Advocacy issues: Some of the main advocacy issues are as follows:
1. DDMA’s Functionality to ensure efficient and effective
Humanitarian Response. 2. Political
influence/interference in relief distributions. Aid is being used as
political stand point which is increasing the vulnerabilities of marginalized
flood affected communities. 3. Ensure Quality
and Accountability and Transparency in humanitarian assistance to ensure
effective Emergency Response in a dignified manner.
Gender
Issues: Flood severely affected the
women and their access to sufficient food, water and other life facilities.
Women are involved in handling and raring of livestock at household level.
Moreover before disaster cotton picking, cultivation, etc was totally done by
the women in the region. The trend of open defecation was the practice of the
communities in the area but now due to the standing water in the field yards
up to 3 to 5 feet there’s no place for people to use for that purpose. Women
are the most vulnerable in this critical situation. There are a large number
of pregnant women and lactating mothers in the region and there’s no proper
health facility existing in the affected areas.

Future
Recommendations: The affected communities are living
in miserable condition so there’s a critical need of
launching humanitarian assistance programs in WASH, Health,
Food and Nutrition, Shelter and projects to address women
specific needs. The most important intervention is Disposal
of dead livestock as it’s still on road sides which can
cause a secondary hazard in shape of disease outbreak in
livestock as well as humans. Provision of Shelter kits especially
designed for hot weather and including mosquito nets is also
important. The Response is still very slow so there’s a need
to speed up the process to save lives and restore the
livelihoods of the affected communities in
Sindh.
