Situation Report #30, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    April 26, 2002

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 Coalition-led military 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.  The U.S. Agency for International Development's Disaster
Assistance Response Team (USAID/DART), 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.  The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued this week,
as 11 more districts convened to select representives.  Outbursts of
factional fighting were reported in several areas of the country.
Insecurity and the crisis of refugees waiting in no man's land continues
at the Chaman border crossing.  On April 23, heavy rains in Badghis
Province caused flooding, killing two and disrupting programs of assisted
return.  Locust eradication, supported by USAID/OFDA, continued in the
north of the country.  In Maslakh camp in Herat, food aid distribution
switched from wheat bags to daily rations, as returns accelerated.
International agencies have assisted in the return of more than 90,000
internally displaced person (IDPs) since January, with 51,000 of these
returns made to nine northern provinces.  The polio immunization campaign
last week exceeded the initial targeted number of vaccinations, due to a
larger than expected returnee population.

Political/Military.  The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued
this week, as 11 more assemblies (shuras) convened to select district
representives in the provinces of Badakshan, Balkh, Kunduz, Bamiyan and
Kapisa.  These representatives will in turn meet at the end of May to
select their district's delegation to the Loya Jirga, to be held June
10-16 in Kabul.  Over the coming weeks, each of the county's 381 districts
will hold shuras.  Eventually, 1,051 Afghans will be chosen to attend the
Loya Jirga, with an additional 450 seats reserved for various Afghan
institutions and groups.  Members of the Special Independent Commission
for the Convening of the Emergency Loya Jirga traveled to Pakistan and
Iran this week to organize the selection process for 100 seats that are
reserved for Afghan refugees.  The first woman district representative was
selected this week in Balkh Province.

Security.  According to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR),
the AIA mission dispatched by Chairman Hamid Karzai to investigate
persecution of minority Pashtuns in northern Afghanistan reported that the
situation had improved.  UNHCR is dispatching its own staff to monitor the
situation in Badghis, Faryab, Balkh, Jawzjan, Samangan, Baghlan, Kunduz,
and Takhar provinces.  Authorities in Herat Province reportedly changed
guards at Maslakh camp in response to allegations of harassment of Pashtun
IDPs.

Outbursts of factional fighting were reported in several areas of the
country.  On April 24, fighting broke out in Khost city between rival
provincial police officials, killing three and injuring several others.
On April 23, the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA)
reported that UNHCR was forced to delay return plans for IDPs to Laghman
Province, due to armed clashes that killed two people in the provincial
capital Mehtar Lam.  On April 21, UNAMA reported ongoing factional
fighting in Daikundi, Uruzgan Province causing disruption to the polio
vacccination campaign.  According to UNHCR, factional tension in Nimruz
Province continues to delay the opening of the Milak- Zaranj border
crossing with Iran.  The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) reported that
threats targeted at U.N. staff reduced WFP movements to a minimum in the
eastern provinces.

On April 22, three mortar rounds exploded near U.S.  troops stationed in
Gardez, Paktia Province, according to a U.S. military spokesman.  No
injuries were reported.  On April 20, British military officials reported
a suspected assassination plot against Zahir Shah, the recently returned
former king, in which the potential killers planned to pose as
journalists.  On April 19, a French soldier was wounded during a gun
battle between the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) and four
unidentified men who had been engaged in suspicious activity near the
Kabul airport control tower, officials from ISAF reported.

Mercy Corps recently notified UNHCR that it will stop its distribution of
UNHCR-supplied non-food items to camps in the Chaman border area at the
end of April due to a generally poor security situation, a lack of UNHCR
protection officers in the area, and a concern about the overall UNHCR
strategy for dealing with the crisis.  Mercy Corps provides assistance to
75,000 of the 85,000 camp residents in the area.  According to UNHCR,
there are 40,000 Afghans in no man's land waiting to enter Pakistan at the
Chaman border crossing outside the Killi Faizo transit camp. Other NGOs
have similarly announced plans to withdraw from the Chaman area because of
insecurity.

On April 19, a spokesman for the U.S. military announced that its
personnel in Afghanistan will modify their clothing when conducting relief
work to include identifiable articles, patches, or pins distinguishing
them from NGO humanitarian workers.  The new policy follows a request to
the U.S.  by humanitarian organizations expressing concern that
humanitarian workers could be targeted if mistaken for soldiers.

Flood.  According to UNAMA, on April 23 the heaviest rains in five years
in Badghis Province caused flooding in Qala-i-Naw and Ab Kamari districts,
killing two, leaving five missing, and resulting in the destruction of 500
homes and shops.  In Qala-i-Naw and eight surrounding villages, the
flooding affected some 1,200 people, with another 3,000 Afghan IDP and
refugee returnees temporarily stranded at the Qala-i-Naw reintegration
center on their journey home.  The road between Herat and Qala-i-Naw, a
major supply route to Badghis Province, was initially cut off by flooding,
but is now passable, though heavily damaged.  Several lesser roads to
surrounding villages have been destroyed.  Non-governmental Organizations
(NGOs), such as the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and World Vision,
have responded to the flooding by providing 800 tents, 4,000 blankets,
2,000 family packs, 2,000 pieces of clothing, 4,000 sleeping bags, 300
soap bars, and 30 metric tons (MTs) of food.  The U.N.  World Health
Organization (WHO) and Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) have provided
emergency medical supplies.  A WFP assessment of flood- affected areas
found 80 percent of irrigated land submerged by floodwaters, jeopardizing
the upcoming harvest.  UNAMA reported that humanitarian assistance in the
region is sufficient to meet the relief needs of victims of the flood.

Locusts.  UNAMA reports that locusts have been hatching in Baghlan,
Samangan, and Kunduz provinces, traditional locust areas in what is the
most severe case of infestation in 30 years.  In Faryab, Takhar, and
Badakshan provinces, eggs have not yet begun to hatch due to the higher
altitude, and in Jowzjan Province, egg beds were destroyed this year by
sandstorms.  The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), with
USAID/OFDA support and in cooperation with the AIA, local authorities, and
international organizations, is coordinating a program of manual and
chemical eradication to minimize damage to crops.  Manual eradication
involves digging trenches around the infested areas, herding the locusts
in, and burying them.  Up to 20,000 Afghan volunteers are active in the
effort. The manual operation will be followed up by chemical spraying,
especially in rocky or inaccessible areas.

Food Aid and Logistics.  Since October 2001, WFP, with support from USAID,
has delivered 430,586 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 342,651 MT has
been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
food-insecure Afghans.

WFP has conducted more than 60 rapid assessment missions in Afghanistan
over the past few weeks.  The findings indicate an increased need for food
aid in the pre-harvest hunger period of April, May and June. WFP reported
that malnutrition persists, the sale of household assets continues, and
more children are being pushed into the labor market to support their
families. WFP's target is to provide 280,000 MT of food assistance to an
estimated nine million people until the harvest in July.

According to WFP, the final distribution of bags of wheat at Maslakh Camp
near Herat took place last week.  In the future, IDPs remaining in the
camp will receive daily bread supplied by WFP bakeries inside the camp, as
well as oil and pulses, and porridge for the children.  IDPs choosing to
return to their homes from the camp will receive a reintegration package
including 100 kgs of wheat, 50 kgs of seeds, 40 kgs of fertiliser, and 30
high-energy biscuits.

More than 100,000 of the most vulnerable people in central Nuristan
Province in the east will receive a distribution of three months' food
aid, following the completion of a WFP survey in the area.  The survey
revealed that over 90 percent of the total population possess less than
one jerib of land and have lost roughly half its livestock.  Cereal
production this year failed in this area.  Some 40,000 people are
scheduled to receive food aid next week through food-for-work projects.

IDPs and Refugees.  UNHCR, the AIA, and the NGO community are preparing
for the anticipated return 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,
more than 353,000 Afghans have been assisted in returning home in the
eight weeks since UNHCR and the AIA began their voluntary repatriation
program in coordination with neighboring governments.

UNHCR reports that more than 327,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan
since its program began March 1.  Ninety percent of the returnees pass
through the Takhtabaig voluntary repatriation center near Peshawar,
Pakistan.  An estimated 40 percent are destined for urban centers in
Afghanistan.  There are three official border crossing points, at Nawa
Pass and Torkham in the north and Spin Boldak in the south.  UNHCR
reported that 39.0 percent of the returnees from northern Pakistan are
going back to Nangarhar Province in eastern Afghanistan, 38.7 percent to
Kabul Province, 5.7 percent to Parwan Province in central Afghanistan, 3.5
percent to Jowzjan Province in the north, 2.9 percent to Laghman Province
in the east, and 9.2 percent to other provinces.  This week a record
number of Afghans were processed through the Puli-Charki returnee
distribution center outside Kabul.  Some 21 percent of the Afghan refugees
from southern Pakistan are returning to Kunduz Province in the north, 20
percent to Kabul, and 16 percent to Kandahar Province in the south.  The
NGO Mercy Corps reports that up to 90 percent of the returnees arriving in
Kandahar Province are only transitting the area, while the remaining few
are settling in Kandahar city.  The rural areas in the south are not
reporting large numbers of returns.

According to UNHCR, more than 17,000 Afghans have returned from Iran
through the northern Islam Qala crossing point at Dogharun since its
program began on April 9.  Each day at the Soleimankhani center in Tehran,
more than 1,000 Afghans refugees are registering to leave Iran and return
home.  UNHCR is working to identify a second registration site in Tehran.
Other centers in Iran are located in Mashad, Zahedan, Qom, Esfahan,
Kerman, Shiraz, Yazd and Arak.  An estimated half of the returnees are
traveling to Herat Province, around 20 percent to Kabul, and the remainder
to Ghazni, Kunduz, Loghar and Wardak provinces.  The Milak-Zaranj border
crossing in the south remained closed due factional unrest in Nimruz
Province, although UNHCR reported this week that the crossing may open
shortly.

Afghan refugees in Turkmenistan, estimated to number 6,000, are also being
assisted in returning home.  UNHCR reported that 18 refugees returned home
from Turkmenistan this week, ahead of the anticipated rate of 50 per
month.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM), through its completed
program of voluntary return from the islands of the Pyandj River along the
Tajik- Afghan border, assisted 8,918 Afghans to make the short journey by
barge back to Kunduz Province.

IOM and UNHCR have assisted the return home of more than 90,000 IDPs since
January, with 51,000 of these returns being made to nine northern
provinces.  IOM this week completed the return of 14,625 IDPs from the old
Soviet compound in Kabul to the Shomali Plain.  Since April 1, IOM in
Mazar-e-Sharif has assisted 11,958 persons to return to their homes in
northern Afghanistan, bringing the total number of IDPs returned from
camps in and around Mazar-e- Sharif to 29,306.

In Herat, IOM has assisted 34,525 IDPs from Maslakh, Shaidayee and
Rawzabagh IDP camps and from the former Central Policlinic in the centre
of Herat to return to their homes in Herat and Badghis provinces.  An
additional 20,000 IDPs living in Maslakh Camp have registered with IOM to
return home.

>From the central Bamiyan Province, more than 2,000 mostly ethnic Hazara
Afghans have returned to 13 villages in the Shaighan Valley, Baghlan
Province since April 22, following a campaign to clear area villages of
land mines and unexploded ordnance.  Over the coming days, UNHCR and its
partners expect to return 7,500 persons from Bamiyan during the first
phase of a three phase operation.

This week, the first group of 2,000 IDPs began moving out of their tents
at Hesar Shahi camp near Jalalabad, home to nearly 24,000 Afghans who fled
war and drought.  Some 13,000 camp residents have expressed a desire to
return home immediately, some 3,600 said they would like to return at a
later date, while 7,300 said they did not want to leave.  The IDPs are
returning to their villages in Kabul, Nangarhar, and Kunar Province.
Returns to Laghman Province had to be put on hold due to security concerns
in the region.

On April 18, some 585 IDPs left the southeastern border town of Spin
Boldak for Ghazni and Paktika provinces, despite continuing reports of
instability in parts of these provinces.  IDP camps in Spin Boldak
currently shelter 40,000 Afghans.

Health.  With USAID/OFDA support, the United Nations Children's Fund
(UNICEF) oversaw a three- day nationwide polio vaccination campaign April
16- 18 targeting 5.8 million children younger than five years old, with
the aim of eradicating the disease in Afghanistan by the end of 2002.
Some 40,000 medics and volunteers trained by the AIA Ministry of Health
and WHO went door-to-door seeking out children, with teams also operating
at refugee and IDP camps, border crossings, and airports.  Initial data
from days one and two in major cities, such as Kabul and Mazar-e-Sharif,
indicate that the number of vaccinations administered exceeded the target
goal, due to a larger than expected returnee population.  All districts
around Gardez and Khost cities were covered, despite military action in
that area.  In Daikundi, Uruzgan province the immunization effort was
hampered by factional fighting.  The next national immunization campaign
is scheduled to take place on May 26-28.


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 Humanitarian Demining Program
(State/HDP), 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.

On March 26, 2002, U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan Robert P. Finn issued a
disaster declaration due to the earthquake in Baghlan Province.
USAID/OFDA responded by providing an additional $25,000 in Disaster
Assistance Authority to ACTED, one of many USAID-funded grantees who are
providing humanitarian assistance to the affected population.

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 Kabul to assess humanitarian activities and logistical
capacity in the region.  USAID/DART members coordinate with the
humanitarian relief community and assess the humanitarian situation.

New Actions.  USAID/OFDA is providing $1,574,756 to AirServ in support of
transportation services for the humanitarian community in Afghanistan and
Pakistan.

USAID/OFDA is providing $600,000 to GOAL in support of its shelter
assistance, distribution of non- food items, and water and sanitation
programs for IDPs in Samangan Province.  The grant also supports GOAL in
its locust eradication efforts in this province.

USAID/OFDA is providing an additional $130,000 to the NGO Shelter for Life
to complete their temporary shelter project for 21,000 beneficiaries in
Maslakh camp in Herat.

In March, USAID/OFDA provided a grant of $201,868 to Tufts University in
support of Sue Lautz's mission to assess humanitarian conditions in
southern and western Afghanistan.

USAID/OFDA has provided an additional $93,467 to the NGO Save the Children
Fund (SCF/US) in support of the assessment of humanitarian needs in
southern and western Afghanistan.

OTHER USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  On April 26, the U.S. Department of State's Bureau for
Population, Refugees, and Migration (PRM) announced a new $4.8 million
contribution to the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in
support of programs assisting refugees and IDPs to return to their homes
and reintegrate into their communities.
