Situation Report #26, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    March 29, 2002


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

BACKGROUND

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.  Severe restrictions by the Taliban,
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.  A devastating regional drought compounded the crisis, drying
up wells, parching agricultural land, killing off livestock, collapsing
rural economies, and eventually exhausting the coping mechanisms of many
ordinary Afghans, forcing them to leave their homes in search of food and
water.

International relief agencies, with support from the United States (U.S.),
have long been active in providing humanitarian assistance to the Afghan
people, even during the restrictive years of the Taliban.  On October 7,
2001, a U.S.-led campaign against al-Qaeda and Taliban forces began, and
by December 2001, the Taliban had collapsed.  The new Afghan Interim
Authority (AIA) was sworn in on December 22, 2001, increasing humanitarian
access to the country and beginning the process of reconstruction.  Tens
of thousands of refugee and internally displaced families have started to
return to their homes to assist in the rebuilding.  USAID/DART/Islamabad,
which began its emergency coordination work in response to the regional
drought in June 2001, continues to assess the humanitarian needs of
vulnerable Afghans, and to monitor the relief programs of its implementing
partners.

CURRENT SITUATION

Overview.  Organizations operating under existing USAID grants are
redirecting assistance to help meet the needs of the victims of an
earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter Scale which struck in Nahrin
District, Baghlan Province on the evening of March 25.  The United Nations
(U.N.) Security Council voted unanimously on March 29 to establish the
U.N.  Assistance Mission to Afghanistan (UNAMA).  The United Nations
Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA) is concerned
about reports of harassment of relief workers in northern, western, and
eastern regions of Afghanistan.  According to the U.N. Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO), there are tentative signs that the drought
may be easing in the north, while rainfall remains below normal in the
south.  According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more
than 100,000 Afghans have been assisted in returning home from Pakistan
since March 1.  While internally displaced persons (IDPs) continue to
return home in all parts of the country, a smaller number of new IDPs are
reportedly fleeing continued drought or minority persecution.  The World
Health Organization (WHO) is investigating a suspected meningitis outbreak
in the Waras District of Bamiyan Province, where 82 people have died.
Political/Military.  On March 29, the United Nations Security Council
voted unanimously to establish the U.N. Assistance Mission to Afghanistan
(UNAMA), following the recommendation of Secretary General Kofi Annan.
UNAMA would fulfill all of the tasks entrusted to the U.N. under last
year's Bonn Agreement.  The mission would also promote national
reconciliation, while managing all U.N.  humanitarian activities in
coordination with the current AIA and successor administrations.  The
anticipated return this week of Afghanistan's exiled king, Zahir Shah, was
delayed due to security concerns.  The king is expected to return to his
homeland once adequate security measures can be taken to protect him.
Several thousand supporters of Zahir Shah marched in the southern city of
Kandahar on March 27 calling for his speedy return from exile.  ?he U.S.
and France officially informed the U.N.  Security Council on March 26 that
the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) would not expand its
geographic mandate beyond Kabul.  The U.S.  announced on March 25 its
intention to help train an Afghan national army, a process estimated to
take up to 18 months to complete.

The new U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan was sworn in at a ceremony on March
22, and said his appointment demonstrates the U.S.'s commitment to
Afghanistan.  Robert Patrick Finn, a former U.S.  Ambassador to
Tajikistan, took the oath of office at the U.S. Embassy in Kabul.

Security.  UNOCHA is concerned about reports of harassment of relief
workers in the northern, western, and eastern regions of Afghanistan.
Both local and international workers of NGOs and UN agencies have been
affected.

Factional fighting has contributed to insecurity around the cities of
Gardez, Khost, Kunduz, and Mazar-e-Sharif.  Fighting has also been
reported in the northwest and in the Kandahar area.  Armed theives have
reportedly entered IDP camps and robbed IDPs in the vicinity of Herat.

Coalition forces reported an al-Qaeda plot to car bomb or kidnap soldiers
from the ISAF based in Kabul.  Norwegian soldiers and an ISAF soldier
reportedly came under fire in northern Afghanistan and in Gardez,
respectively.

Earthquake. On March 25, at 7:26 pm local time, an earthquake measuring
6.1 on the Richter scale struck Baghlan Province in northeastern
Afghanistan, approximately 100 miles north of the capital Kabul.  The
initial earthquake was followed by a series of strong aftershocks,
including one of 5.0 on March 25 at 8:15 pm local time, a 5.0 aftershock
at 2:15 am local time March 26, and a 5.6 on March 27 at 1:22 pm local
time.  According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), the earthquake and
its aftershocks occurred at a shallow depth of 8-10 kilometers, increasing
the likelihood of damage to structures in the affected area.

According to the AIA, the estimated number of deaths decreased from
initial reports, as rescue workers provided more accurate information from
the field.  The most recent estimates from UNOCHA indicate 600 confirmed
dead, with that figure expected to rise to between 800 and 1,000 people
dead once all areas have been reached.  Approximately 500 people have been
treated for injuries, and it is estimated that up to 20,000 families
(100,000 people) may have had their houses damaged or have been otherwise
negatively affected. The area worst affected was Nahrin District
(estimated population: 82,000), Baghlan Province where the epicenters of
the earthquakes were located.  Reports indicate that nearly all of old
town Nahrin and half of new town Nahrin were destroyed, with 42 outlying
villages on the Nahrin plain affected.  Aerial reconnaissance over a
radius of 15 km from Nahrin City indicates 25 percent of buildings totally
collapsed, and another 60 percent with serious damage.  Neighboring Burka
District was also affected, with half of the homes in eight villages
destroyed, impacting 800 families.  In the Panjshir Valley, six villages
with 3,000 people were completely destroyed, and in Lakankhel District an
estimated 70 percent of homes in seven villages were destroyed, affecting
935 families. The region at the epicenter of the earthquake is one heavily
impacted by the ongoing drought, with an estimated 80 percent of the
population already receiving relief supplies because of vulnerability to
malnutrition.  The area was also on the conflict line of the civil war and
had generated a number of IDPs.  The relative inaccessibility of the
region, landslide-induced road blocks, the danger of landmines left over
from the civil war, and rainy weather which began March 29 are all factors
which complicate damage assessment and the delivery of humanitarian
assistance.

Organizations operating under existing USAID grants are redirecting
assistance to help meet the needs of the earthquake victims: The
International Rescue Committee (IRC) is sending a health team, as well as
tents, blankets, and adequate supplies of sugar, beans, and vegetable oil
to feed 4,750 families (23,750 people) for six months to Baghlan Province.
Concern Worldwide is sending shelter supplies and household kits.
USAID/OFDA partner GOAL dispatched ten 3,000-gallon water bladders.  The
International Organization for Migration (IOM) is providing blankets and
fuel and providing ground transportation for relief commodities.  The U.N.
Children's Fund (UNICEF) is providing water and sanitation assistance
under an existing USAID grant.  USAID/OFDA, in response to a disaster
declaration issued by U.S. Ambassador Finn, provided a grant to the Agency
for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED), who had an office in
Nahrin and began responding immediately.  USAID/OFDA is also airlifting
37,500 blankets to UNICEF in Mazar- e-Sharif.  UNOCHA, which received over
$3 million from USAID this year to coordinate humanitarian relief,
established a coordination cell in Kabul and a base of operations in
Nahrin.

UNOCHA reported on March 28 that the immediate needs of the
earthquake-affected population are being met. Food distribution systems
and medical assistance in Nahrin are adequate, and 15,000 tents and
100,000 blankets have been distributed or are en route. An assessment of
the availability of potable water is underway.  Trucks carrying relief
supplies, medical assistance, engineers, mine clearance experts, and
logistics teams have arrived in Nahrin, after a team of U.S. engineers
unblocked the Salang Tunnel on the road from Kabul.  No further supply
flights to Kabul airport are planned, though helicopter flights will
continue to transport essential equipment.  Several U.S. helicopters were
delivering relief supplies from Bagram airfield north of Kabul.

Food Aid and Logistics.  According to UNOCHA, FAO believes the drought may
be easing in the north of the country, with rain levels this year better
than last year in all parts of the country except the south.  According to
FAO, there have been normal rainfall levels in both the north and west.
However, FAO reports that less than one-half an inch of rain fell in
Kandahar during the "rainy" month of February.  Half of the fruit trees in
the south have been lost over the course of the drought, and wheat crops
fed by rain, not irrigation, have disappeared completely from six southern
provinces.  UNOCHA cautioned, however, that it is too early to tell
whether the precipitation trend will continue, and what the impact will be
on the prospect for continued drought.

Since October 2001, WFP, with support from USAID, has delivered 376,657 MT
of food into Afghanistan, of which 309,797 MT has been distributed
throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million food-insecure Afghans.

IDPs and Refugees.  UNHCR, the AIA, and the NGO community are preparing
for the anticipated return home this summer of up to 1.2 million Afghan
refugees and IDPs (approximately 400,000 refugees from Pakistan, 400,000
refugees from Iran, and 400,000 IDPs in Afghanistan).  According to UNHCR,
the Takhtabaig Voluntary Repatriation Center near Peshawar in Pakistan,
which began operations March 1, has facilitated the return of more than
100,000 Afghan refugees to their communities of origin.  The center is now
processing an average of 10,000 returnees a day, after having reinforced
its staff for registration and verification, hired and trained 75
additional people, and assigned staff to two working shifts.  UNHCR
reported that nearly half of the returnees are going to the eastern
province of Nangarhar, a quarter to Kabul Province, and more than 20,000
to eastern and central Afghanistan.  UNHCR plans to open a second
voluntary repatriation center April 1 in Bajaur Agency at Nawa Pass in
Pakistan, and establish mobile teams to process more than 12,000 refugee
families in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province.

On April 9, UNHCR expects to begin the voluntary assisted repatriation
process from Iran.  Registration centers have already been set-up in
Teheran and elsewhere throughout the country. UNHCR and the Iranian
authorities have been working to prepare facilities at the Dogharoun and
Milak border crossing points.  Afghans participating in the voluntary
repatriation initiative will receive transport up to the frontier with
Afghanistan. UNHCR will give returnees a cash stipend to finance their
transport homewards, plus the same family reintegration package already
being distributed to Afghans repatriating from Pakistan.

UNOCHA reports that assistance will be phased out to IDPs who have
remained on the Pyanj River islands along the Afghan-Tajik border since a
September 2000 Taliban offensive, while UNHCR is assisting with voluntary
returns. Of the estimated 12,000 Afghans living on two islands in the
river, all 2,000 of those living on the island known as Site 13 have
returned to their homes in the northern Afghan province of Konduz, only 15
km across the border.  Others living on the second island, known as Site
9, intend to stay permanently on the island where they have built houses,
and will travel to and from their villages for visits.  MERLIN will
continue to provide health care.

On March 27, IOM began a three-day operation to return 1,200 more
displaced families from camps in and around Mazar-e-Sharif.  On the first
day, IOM- hired trucks transported a group of 300 families from Mazar to
Dehi, in the Dar-e-Suf District of Samangan Province.  In Dehi, the Czech
NGO People in Need Foundation was providing returnees with overnight food
and accommodation. The second leg of their journey will be carried out
with the assistance of some 3,000 donkeys.  Each family will be given
three animals to transport the reintegration assistance, which includes
150 kgs of wheat, an agricultural kit of seeds and tools, plastic sheets,
jerry cans, blankets and mats.  The IOM office in Mazar-e-Sharif has
assisted more than 12,000 IDPs to return home over the past months.

IRC reported the return of some 2,530 IDP families (12,650 people) from
the Mazar-e-Sharif area to 17 villages in Alborz in Balkh Province.
UNOCHA reported that to date, some 4,200 people have returned from Herat
to Qala-i-Naw, Badghis Province under an ongoing assisted return program.
In Faisabad, Badakhshan Province an unspecified number of IDPs are
registering to return to their home villages.

There are reports of new IDPs leaving their areas of origin due to drought
and minority persecution.  There are some 3,000 new IDPs in a camp in
Jalalabad, according to UNOCHA.  UNOCHA also reported that some 368 IDP
families (roughly 2,300 people) have arrived in Herat since the beginning
of March.  The new arrivals are from Ghor and Faryab provinces.  The IDPs
from Ghor Province are mainly leaving because of drought, while most of
the IDPs from Faryab Province are reportedly Pashtuns fleeing persecution.
There have been reports of intimidation directed at Pashtuns in Herat as
well, according to UNOCHA.  UNOCHA believes that some of the Pashtun
population arriving in Herat are only transiting there, and intend to
continue on southwards to Farah Province.

According to UNHCR, more than 30,000 Afghans are awaiting registration and
entrance to Pakistan outside the Killi Faizo transit camp on the Afghan
border, where there are inadequate basic services and makeshift shelters.
A third of the waiting Afghans indicated they would be willing to stay in
Afghanistan with additional assistance, while the rest of the group, which
includes Kuchi nomads and ethnic Pashtuns, cited drought and ethnic
persecution as reasons for wanting to leave Afghanistan.

Health.  The World Health Organization (WHO)  reported on March 26 that
Action Contre la Faim (ACF) has reported a suspected meningitis outbreak
in the Waras District of southern Bamiyan Province that has killed 82
people.  WHO is investigating and has not confirmed that the disease is
indeed meningitis.


USG HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE

Background.  On October 4, 2001, 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 USAID/OFDA, Food for
Peace (USAID/FFP), Democracy & Governance (USAID/DG), Office of Transition
Initiatives (USAID/OTI), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA),
Department of State's Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration
(State/PRM), Department of State's Demining Program, the Department of
State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs
(State/INL), the Department of Defense (DOD), and the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC).  The assistance is for displaced persons
inside Afghanistan and 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) based in Pakistan to assess humanitarian activities and logistical
capacity in the region.  USAID/DART members are traveling into Afghanistan
to coordinate with the humanitarian relief community and assess the
humanitarian situation.

New Actions.  On March 26, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Robert P. Finn
issued a disaster declaration due to the earthquake in Baghlan Province.
On March 26, USAID/OFDA responded by providing an additional $25,000 in
Disaster Assistance Authority to ACTED, who is one of many USAID-funded
grantees providing immediate humanitarian assistance to the affected
population.  Relief commodities, such as shelter material, blankets,
mattresses, water containers, clothing, fuel, and food already in country
as part of the $150 million in humanitarian assistance provided by USAID
since October 2001 are being directed to the affected area.  USAID-funded
grantees active in providing earthquake relief include ACTED, FOCUS, GOAL,
Concern, IOM, the UNOCHA, UNICEF, and WFP.  USAID/OFDA, working with the
U.S. Mission in Kabul, the Afghan Interim Authority, and NGO partners in
the region, will continue to assess damage and needs as a result of the
earthquakes.


USAID/FFP ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  USAID's Office of Food for Peace (FFP) is contributiing
31,050 MT of P.L. 480 Title II food assistance, valued at $25,418,500, to
the WFP's Food for Civil Servants Program in Afghanistan.  The food
contribution, which includes lentils and vegetable oil, will be used to
supplement the salaries of the approximately 270,000 civil servants in
Afghanistan over the next six months.


OTHER USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  The U.S. Department of State's Office of Humanitarian
Demining Programs (HDP) is providing $3.3 million to the NGO HALO Trust to
support more than 2,000 Afghan deminers working in its programs.  In
addition, the HDP purchased demining equipment worth $3 million and
donated it to the UN Mine Action Program in Afghanistan.  The HDP also
supports mine awareness and risk education through a $700,000 grant to
UNICEF.  HDP is providing experts in unexploded ordinances (UXO) through a
$2 million contract with RONCO, an U.S. consulting firm.
