February 2014 - Nearly one million people in Pakistan are still internally displaced as a result of natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, as well as ongoing security operations in the north west regions. They have limited access to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities. With DFATD's support, this project is helping to provide emergency health services and income support to 35,090 internally displaced persons in the province of Khyber Pakhtunkwha. Project activities include: (1) deploying mobile medical teams to assist 22,680 people; (2) creating 20 women-friendly spaces for 2,400 vulnerable women; and (3) providing conditional cash grants to 1,430 vulnerable households to pay for rent, food, access to basic services and prepare their return home.
