Situation update:
The floods affected Larkana district along the river banks; between 115 to 204 villages in the district
were affected, fully or partially according to PDMA; 92000 personsi were affected. 141340 persons from
other districts were hosted in 750 IDP camps in Larkana. Currently, many IDPs have returned home,
those remaining are to be integrated into bigger camps. This will allow better services, especially
relating to public health. These are people who cannot return due to interrupted livelihoods or their
villages are being submerged with flood water.
 The district hosted a large proportion of IDPs from within the area but also from other districts.
Some IDPs remain in camps, unable or unwilling to return home.
 Diseases reported include ARI (13%), suspected malaria (14%), skin disease (18%) and diarrhea 17%
and other diseases (38%) in district.
 With the onset of winter, shelter materials, NFIs, sanitation and health services were widely
requested.
 Agricultural activities remain the worst-hit. Rice was ready for harvesting when the floods hit, have
been destroyed. Farmers of some katcha area may not able to cultivated in time for wheat, if timely
assistance is not received. Where some of the flood has receded, salt lies encrusted on the surface.
 There is a critical need for housing structures in all the areas affected, especially in katcha areas. Reestablishment of livelihoods is essential to assist people to become self sufficient.
