Situation Report #13, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    December 28, 2001


Note: this Situation Report updates previous Central Asia Task Force
Situation Reports and Fact Sheets.  New information is italicized.

BACKGROUND

Prior to September 2001, two decades of war in Afghanistan, including a
decade-long Soviet occupation and ensuing civil strife, left Afghanistan
impoverished and mired in an extended humanitarian crisis.  Government
infrastructure, including the ability to deliver the most basic health,
education, and other social services, collapsed.  Significant local and
national resources were directed to the war effort.  Severe restrictions
by the Taliban, which controlled as much as 90 percent of the country,
including a restriction on women working outside the home, added to the
impact of poverty, particularly on the many households lacking able-bodied
adult men.

Humanitarian prospects worsened sharply in Afghanistan in September 2001
due to developments both inside and outside the country.  Fears of a U.S.
reprisal to the attacks of September 11 triggered a population exodus from
major Afghan cities, both towards other points in Afghanistan and towards
the country's borders.  The beginning of U.S. air strikes on October 7
caused additional movement.  International staff of all relief agencies
withdrew after September 11, complicating the delivery of humanitarian
assistance.  Even prior to September 11, there were signs that relations
between the international community and the Taliban were worsening
significantly.  These new developments added to an existing crisis of
extensive displacement stemming from civil conflict and a debilitating
three-year drought.

CURRENT SITUATION

Overview

Throughout Afghanistan, the humanitarian and security situations have been
steadily improving in recent weeks.  However, areas of insecurity and
factional fighting remain, and snow and ice in some areas have restricted
the delivery of relief commodities.  In Ghor province in central
Afghanistan, which the International Committee for Red Cross and Red
Crescent Societies (ICRC) has called the least accessible province, the
road from Hirat to Chagcharan continues to be impassable around Shahrak.

At its current rate of distribution, the UN World Food Program (WFP)
expects to meet its targeted distribution level of 100,000 metric tons
(MT) during the month of December.  International agencies continue to
maximize on the capacity of current food delivery corridors as the winter
months progress.  Deliveries from Uzbekistan via the Friendship Bridge at
Termez are proceeding without incident, and WFP estimates that up to
30,000 MT of the monthly food requirement of 52,000 MT could be
transported through Uzbekistan.

Improved security in Kandahar has facilitated the return of two
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have access to a 20- kilometer
security zone around the city. The UN deployed a security assessment
mission into Kandahar via air on December 28.

Effective January 1, 2002, WFP will take over the management of the common
passenger air services for Afghanistan and the region from the UN Office
for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA).


Political/Military

In Kabul on December 27, approximately 5,000 members of the Shiite Hazara
ethnic group, who fiercely resisted the leadership of the Sunni- dominated
Taliban, staged their first public rally in six years.  The group's
leader, Karim Khalili, pledged Hazaras' support for the new interim
administration headed by Hamid Karzai.

On December 27, 300 British military personnel joined 200 British Marines
already based in Kabul as a part of the International Security Assistance
Force (ISAF).  One of their primary tasks will be to repair the
bomb-damaged Bagram airport, north of Kabul.  A contingent of 1,500
British soldiers is expected to lead up to 6,000 multinational troops for
the first three months of the peacekeeping mission.

Tensions in Baghlan province in northeastern Afghanistan are high
following last week's inter- factional fighting around Pul-i Khumri.


Security

As reported in recent situation reports, overall security has steadily
improved in Afghanistan, although tensions between rival factions continue
in some areas.  Improving security prompted the UN to expand zones cleared
for UN personnel in the northeast, northwest, and west this week.
Insecurity has decreased between Kabul, Jalalabad and Torkham, resulting
in heavy commercial traffic in this area.

A UN security assessment mission traveled by road to Jalalabad on December
28. The area south of Jalalabad, in the Tora-Bora region, remains
particularly insecure.

Commercial trucks traveling between Spin Boldak and Hirat have encountered
areas of insecurity between Spin Boldak and Kandahar, and in Farah
province.  Armed groups have been levying a U.S.  $100 tax on trucks
traveling through Spin Boldak, but at least one NGO declined payment and
was allowed to pass.  WFP trucks are not stopping to deliver food in
Kandahar because the UN security team has not yet cleared the city.

UN de-mining teams are working to remove mines and unexploded ordnance
from the main road linking Kabul to the former Soviet airbase at Bagram
(50 miles) and from the civilian airport. Approximately 15 miles of the
road have been surveyed to date.


Logistics and Food Aid

Overview. WFP currently has a stock of 69,474 MT of food commodities in
the Central Asia region, including 16,589 MT in Afghanistan.  On December
27, cross-border dispatches exceeded the weekly average of 3,800 MT, and
reached 4,368 MT.  During December 1-27, total dispatches into Afghanistan
reached 90,098 MT: 38,870 MT from Pakistan; 35,565 MT from Turkmenistan;
5,463 MT from Uzbekistan; 4,823 MT from Iran; 3,458 MT from Kyrgyzstan via
Tajikistan; and 1,175 MT from Tajikistan.

At the current rate, WFP will meet its targeted distribution level of
100,000 MT during the month of December.  Between July 2001 and June 2002,
wheat purchases by WFP are expected to reach one million MT, versus last
year's purchase of 300,000 MT.

Effective January 1, 2002, WFP will take over from UNOCHA the management
of the common passenger air services for Afghanistan and the region.  The
UN currently operates regular flights between Islamabad and the following
destinations: Bagram (near Kabul), Faisabad, Mazar-e-Sharif, Hirat,
Dushanbe, and Termez. WFP will continue to use the two small propeller
aircraft contracted by UNOCHA (one nine- seater and one 18-seater) and
expects to add another smaller craft that will eventually be based in
Kabul.  WFP has placed two additional planes (one 24-seater and one
50-seater) in Islamabad (Pakistan), and plans to base the two higher
capacity aircraft in Islamabad and Turkmenabad (Turkmenistan).

Western Corridors.  WFP reports that 45,000 MT of U.S. wheat has been
successfully bagged and dispatched from port areas of Bandar-e-Abbas,
Chabahar and Bandar-Iman-Khomein, Iran.  WFP reported on December 27 that
as a result of the positive results of the wheat discharge and dispatch,
the Government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is now receptive to
allowing WFP to facilitate a higher number of relief vessels at
Bandar-e-Abbas.

The road from Hirat to Chagcharan continues to be impassable eastward from
the area around Shahrak, Ghor province, as a result of snow and ice.  The
Swedish Rescue Services Agency is currently opening a base camp in
Chesht-e Sharif, and will attempt to open the road with bulldozers, trucks
fitted with snowplows, and other heavy equipment.  WFP estimates that
4,900 MT of the required 6,052 MT for six months reached Chagcharan before
the road closure.

The corridor from Turkmenabad into Herat and the northern regions is
growing rapidly and is currently the most reliable artery into
northwestern Afghanistan.

Southern Corridor.

Between December 3 and 26, 6,780 MT of wheat moved through the Quetta
corridor, primarily to Helmand, Nimroz, Farah, and Hirat provinces.
Dispatches to Farah province through Quetta, rather than from the north,
commenced on December 26.  Farah has received 1,000 MT via the Quetta
route to date.

WFP reports that the new Afghanistan interim government has appointed a
Foreign Affairs representative for Spin Boldak who will reportedly have
the mandate to facilitate the return of humanitarian agencies and
personnel through the city.

International organizations have reported that security and access have
improved in some areas of Kandahar province, but UNHCR reports that
factional violence remains widespread in neighboring Helmand province.

Northern Corridors.  Cross border operations from Uzbekistan have
progressed smoothly since the reopening of the Friendship Bridge at Termez
on December 9.  The Termez to Hairaton corridor remains viable for
increased distributions of relief commodities into northern Afghanistan,
and WFP in Termez estimates that up to 30,000 MT of the 52,000 MT monthly
requirement of food could be transported through Uzbekistan.  UNOCHA
coordination operations have expanded to Mazar-e- Sharif in northern
Afghanistan.

On December 23, the Coalition Humanitarian Liaison Cell (CHLC), the UN
(WFP and UNOCHA), and the Hairaton Chief of railways undertook a joint
assessment of the rail facilities at Hairaton. Four kilometers of rail
spurs leading from the WFP Hairaton warehouse to the Afghan side of the
bridge require some repair in order to expedite transshipments of food aid
via Termez.

Five barges carrying a total of 1,500 MT of wheat crossed the Amu Darya
River from Uzbekistan to Afghanistan between December 25 and 28.

Since December 24, Afghanistan's northeastern region has received up to 70
centimeters of snow, halting food convoys to remote locations north and
west of Faizabad, Badakhstan province.  These convoys follow the 10-day,
1,200-kilometer round- trip route from Osh through Tajikistan, which
averages 182 MT per day.  A Canadian International Development Agency
(CIDA) team is working to open the Ishkashim to Faizabad road in
Badakhstan province.  Poor road conditions have also severed access to
Takhar province from Badakhstan province.


Regional Updates

Countrywide.

Approximately 1.5 million people remain displaced within Afghanistan.
Food and other emergency relief to destitute families in rural areas,
particularly in the central highlands area, is needed in order to prevent
them from fleeing to international displaced person (IDP) camps and
swelling the number of displaced.  In addition to food insecurity,
malnutrition-related deteriorating health is one of the greatest threats
to vulnerable populations.  According to the World Health Organization
(WHO), with the onset of winter, vulnerable sections of the Afghan
population - women, children and displaced people – face increased rates
of respiratory diseases, a major cause of mortality in most of
Afghanistan.  WHO has reported the death of some 164 people, mostly
children in the displacement camps around the northern city of Konduz.


Northern region.

Although security remains volatile in northern Afghanistan, a number of UN
international staff crossed the border from Uzbekistan into Afghanistan
this week.  NGOs report that the coordination of relief operations in
northern Afghanistan has improved over the past week, mainly because
UNOCHA was able to set up operations in Mazar-e- Sharif.  A schedule for
sectoral meetings has been established.  Relief agencies are dividing
responsibility for relief operations geographically.  Coordination should
improve further as more UN staff is allowed back into the area.  However,
information about the region, including relief activities there, remains
limited.


Northeastern region.

According to the International Organization on Migration (IOM), an
estimated 1,887 of approximately 11,200 IDPs in Faisabad, in northeastern
Badakshan province, have returned to their homes between December 23 and
26.  IOM in Kunduz has requested trucks to assist in the return of IDPs.
However, on December 27, WFP reported that the northeastern region
received approximately 70 centimeters of snow at the beginning of the
week, posing difficulties for trucks serving remote locales north and west
of Faizabad, Badakhshan province.  Takhar province is currently cut off
from access by the east through Badakhshan due to poor road conditions. An
exploratory attempt is being mounted to reach the vulnerable districts of
Kalafgan and Rustaq (approimately. 130,000 beneficiaries) from the west,
by barge across the Amu Darya River.


Eastern region.

The security situation in Kabul is positive, and a number of NGOs and UN
agencies continue to return to the city.  However, with the numbers of
people returning there is a growing strain on accommodations and office
space.  UNOCHA has begun holding weekly coordination meetings. It has also
established a system of VHF repeaters in the city.

UNHCR reports that its priority in eastern Afghanistan is to assist IDPs
to return to their districts of origin before the expected large scale
repatriation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan next spring.  According to
UNHCR, some 80 per cent of the 2.5 million Afghan refugees living in
Pakistan for the past 20 years came from eastern Afghanistan.  UNHCR
reports that 30,000 IDPs and refugees have returned to Kabul during the
past month, about 75 percent of them IDPs and the remainder refugees.  In
Kabul, UNHCR has assisted 11,000 IDP families with winterization packages.
UNHCR also plans to facilitate the return of 4,000 IDP families to the
Shomali valley north of Kabul.  Starting on December 29, IOM will
transport 100 families a day from the Panjsher valley back to their homes
in the Shomali valley.  Returnees will be provided kits including water
jugs, kitchen sets, stoves, and plastic sheeting.  Emergency shelters will
be provided to families whose homes were destroyed.

A team from International Medical Corps (IMC)  traveled to Kabul and the
central region of Afghanistan this week to initiate a USAID/OFDA- funded
health program. Under this program, technical teams will work with local
authorities and health officials to identify priorities and establish or
rehabilitate health facilities in Parwan, Bamyan and Wardak provinces. The
teams have already identified several key activities.  In Parwan, IMC will
support local authorities in the Charikar hospital to establish an
emergency operation center (EOC) and a maternal-child health (MCH)
facility.  They will also assist in the rehabilitation of clinics in Said
Khil, Bagram, and Tutum Dara.  In Wardak, IMC will help rehabilitate the
MCH clinic in the Maidan Shar hospital, as well as one clinic and six
mobile clinics throughout the province.  A technical team is currently in
Bamyan province to identify priorities in coordination with the Afghan NGO
Ibn Sina.


Southern region.

Until recently, southern Afghanistan had been cut off from international
aid for nearly three months in addition to suffering from the effects of a
severe three-year drought.  According to UNHCR, relative stability has
returned to Kandahar, but the adjacent Helmand province was still
embroiled in factional strife.  WFP estimates that 238,000 people are
vulnerable and food insecure in Kandahar.  However, the U.N. has not yet
deemed Kandahr secure enough for WFP staff to return and resume operations
there.

Meanwhile, two international NGOs have returned to Kandahar: Mercy Corps
International (MCI) and Islamic Relief (IR).  MCI is one of USAID/OFDA's
primary implementing partners in the southern region.  The NGOs are
currently allowed to circulate within a 20km security zone around the
city.  MCI identified 2,077 IDP families during a rapid assessment in Bust
and Naway Barakzayi districts, Helmand province.  In addition to a lack of
food and medical services, MCI reports that 60 percent of these families
are without adequate shelter.  MCI is preparing to distribute non-food
relief kits including shelter and cooking items.  The first 2,000 kits,
including materials supplied by USAID/OFDA and UNHCR, arrived in Kandahar
on December 27. MCI plans to distribute a total of 16,300 of the kits by
the end of January. MCI also plans to send a team of engineers to Uruzgan
province to begin surveying sites for USAID/OFDA-funded spot
reconstruction projects.  These activities would include a cash-for- work
component aimed at injecting cash into the local economy while
rehabilitating essential infrastructure like roads and irrigation systems.

Meanwhile, IR is planning to begin a food distribution this weekend.
This distribution will target 9,000 families with food that IR brought
into Kandahar city from its stockpile in the border town of Wesh.  In
addition, MCI is beginning a food distribution targeting 10,000 people in
the southern districts of Reg and Shorabak, Kandahar.


Pakistan.

UNHCR-Pakistan is currently caring for over 50,000 newly arrived and
destitute Afghan refugees in new camps in Balochistan and NWFP where
shelter, food, and medical assistance is delivered to all refugees.  On
December 25, UNHCR resumed their relocation efforts to relocate these
newly arrived refugees, transporting 1,100 refugees from Jalozai to Kotkai
in Najour Agency.  UNHCR has relocated 12,000 refugees from North West
Frontier Province.  Seven new sites are to be set up in northwestern
Pakistan in January to accomodate these 50,000 refugees.

UNHCR reports that on December 26, 4,000 refugees returned to Afghanistan
via Chaman.  Thirty-five thousand refugees have returned through Chaman in
the month of December.  UNHCR also reports a steady flow of returns
through Torkham in the north.  Officials there place the rate of return at
over 2,000 people a day.  According to the U.N., the majority of these
refugees appear to be returning to urban areas.  However, due to continued
insecurity and the threat of mines, UNHCR does not encourage repatriation
at this time and estimates that a larger repatriation effort would likely
begin in the spring.


Iran

Large numbers of refugees are also returning from Iran to Afghanistan.
UNHCR plans to re-open its office in Islam Qala (border crossing in Kohsan
district, Hirat) to better monitor this return.



USG HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

Background

On October 4, President George W. Bush announced a $320 million assistance
program for Afghanistan.  Funding will support assistance to Afghans both
inside and outside Afghanistan's borders, with support for food and a wide
variety of other relief needs.

On October 4, Assistant Secretary of State for South Asian Affairs
Christina B. Rocca redeclared a complex humanitarian disaster in
Afghanistan for FY 2002.  To date, FY 2001 and FY 2002 USG humanitarian
assistance for Afghans is provided by the USAID/OFDA, USAID/FFP, Democracy
& Governance (USAID/DG), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration
(State/PRM), Department of State's Department of Defense Demining Program,
the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Affairs (State/INL), and the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).  The assistance includes both assistance inside
Afghanistan and assistance to Afghan refugees in neighboring countries.

In Tajikistan, on October 10, 2001, U.S. Chargé d'Affaires James A.
Boughner declared a disaster due to drought, and requested funds for a
seed and fertilizer distribution program.  USAID/OFDA responded by
providing $998,180 through the U.S.  Embassy to Cooperative for American
Relief Everywhere (CARE) for the purchase and distribution of winter wheat
seeds and fertilizer.



USAID/OFDA ASSISTANCE

Personnel. USAID/OFDA currently has one Disaster Assistance Response Team
(DART) deployed to Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan to
assess humanitarian activities and logistical capacity each area.


NEW U.S. GOVERNMENT ACTIVITIES

Afghanistan.

On December 27, USAID/OFDA funded a grant to ACTED for $750,000 for the
revitalization of livelihoods through income generation, reconstruction,
emergency rehabilitation and agriculture rehabilitation programs in
Takhar, Baghlan, Shamali, Kabul, and Faryab provinces.

USAID/OTI has provided full funding for the International Organization for
Migration (IOM) to launch its Humanitarian Emergency Afghan Radio (HEAR)
project. HEAR bulletins will be short, 15- minute programs, in native
Pashto and Dari languages, broadcast from international radio networks
such as the BBC and Voice of America (VOA). The bulletins will provide
practical information to the population regarding food distribution,
security and other issues particularly relevant to displaced people. As a
part of this program, IOM began distributing radio to members of groups
that perform various civil society functions and IDP populations. To date
2,500 radios have been distributed in Herat and 2,500 in Toloquan.

On December 13, the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) conducted its final
airdrop of Humanitarian Daily Rations (HDRs) to vulnerable populations in
Afghanistan.  Over the course of the operation, DOD provided 2,440,920
HDRs at a total cost of approximately $50.9 million.  DOD closed the HDR
operation because ground access to the affected populations has improved
to the point where HDR airlifts are no longer necessary or efficient.
This decision was made in consultation with United Nations and other
humanitarian relief organizations.
