Situation Report #33, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002 May 17, 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. Loya Jirga preparations continued, with nearly half of the
country's 381 districts completing the first phase of assembly meetings.
U.S. soldiers began training the first group of Afghan soldiers for the
Afghan national army. Coalition forces seized numerous large weapons
caches. Missile attacks were directed at Coalition forces, while
factional fighting disrupted humanitarian operations in the north. Aid
groups continued to battle a locust infestation in northern Afghanistan.
In the northeast, heavy rains caused floods and landslides. Food
assessments in central Afghanistan revealed increasingly drastic coping
mechanisms in communities dependent on farming. The U.N. High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) began returns of internally displaced
persons (IDPs) and refugees from the Chaman and Spin Boldak sites along
the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Political/Military. The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued
this week, bringing to 181 the number of assemblies (shuras) convened to
select district representatives. Over the coming weeks, each of the
county's 381 districts will hold shuras. These representatives will in
turn meet at the end of May in nine regional centers across the country to
select their district's delegation to the Loya Jirga, to be held June
10-16 in Kabul. Eventually, 1,051 Afghans will be chosen to attend the
Loya Jirga, with an additional 450 seats reserved for various Afghan
institutions and groups. Under the Bonn Agreement, the Loya Jirga will
determine a two-year transitional government until elections are held.
On May 14, U.S. troops began training the first 240 enlisted Afghan
soldiers who will comprise the Afghan national army. The final size of
the army has not yet been determined. The first phase of the training will
take two and a half months.
British forces brought the two-week Operation Snipe in eastern Afghanistan
to a close on May 10. The operation destroyed several caves between the
cities of Khost and Gardez that contained large al-Qaeda or Taliban
ammunition stores. Over the weekend, U.S. forces found two large caches
of weapons near Herat and Gardez. The cache near Gardez included 1.8
million rounds of ammunition, 600 rounds of rocket-propelled grenades,
more than 700 mortar rounds, and five tanks. The cache near Herat
contained 1,500 mortar rounds and more than 600 rounds of howitzer
ammunition. A portion of the ammunition will be used by the Afghan army
for training, and the rest will be destroyed.
A new Coalition operation, Operation Condor, was launched on May 16
following an attack on an Australian patrol in the mountains of Paktia
Province.
Security. On May 14, Hamid Karzai warned warlord Padshah Khan that a large
military force was poised to capture him if he did not comply with an
ultimatum issued by Paktia Governor Wardak to surrender. The ultimatum
expired on May 15. Khan fired hundreds of rockets on Gardez on April 27
in an attempt to reclaim the governorship after Karzai replaced Khan with
Governor Wardak last month.
On May 12, two rockets were fired near U.S. military positions at an
airport in Khost. There were no injuries in the attack. A similar attack
was carried out last week with the firing of three rockets in the
direction of U.S. forces in Khost.
Also on May 12, two Chinese-made rockets connected to crude timers were
discovered four miles from a supply and refueling base for British troops
in Paktia Province. The rockets were dismantled, and there was no
information about the potential attackers.
A convoy of seven buses carrying 400 Afghan refugees was fired on and
robbed in Shikarpur District, Sindh Province in Pakistan. The buses,
which were transporting spontaneous returnees, were accompanied by the
non-governmental organization FOCUS. Injured passengers were treated and
released at a nearby hospital, and the buses continued to the border in
Pakistan's North West Frontier Province. UNHCR is encouraging daytime
travel on this route due to the threat of robberies.
Following the resumption of inter-factional fighting in the northern
region, particularly in Sar-e-Pul Province, several non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) have evacuated their staff and suspended their
programs until the security situation improves. The U.N. World Food
Program (WFP) distributions in Chiras, Kohistanat District, Sar-e-Pul
Province were disrupted following the recent security developments. The
International Organization for Migration (IOM) was also forced to
temporarily suspend IDP operations in Mazar-e-Sharif due to the security
situation, which is reportedly improving.
Locust. The U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) reports that
the most severe case of locust infestation in 30 years is threatening
crops in northern Afghanistan. The provinces most affected are Kunduz,
Sar-e-Pul, Baghlan, Samangan, Faryab, Jowzjan, and Badghis. The U.N. Food
and Agriculture Organization (FAO), with USAID/OFDA and British Department
for International Development (DFID) support, and in cooperation with the
AIA, local authorities, and international organizations, has been
coordinating a program of manual and chemical eradication since the early
spring. On May 9, helicopters began releasing pesticides to control locust
infestations in Badghis and Faryab provinces. FAO reports that it has an
adequate stock of pesticide for its eradication requirements.
Floods and Landslides. Heavy rain caused flooding in the northeastern
province of Badakshan and claimed 30 lives in the northern province of
Takhar. Three days of continuous rain damaged nearly 100 homes in the
Teshkan, Khash, and Argu districts of Badakshan. U.N. officials warned
that continuing rain could cause significant damage. The May rains follow
record setting rains in April, when Afghanistan experienced the highest
monthly precipitation in three decades.
The U.N. Children's Fund (UNICEF), in partnership with GOAL, dispatched
160 cooking sets, 160 basic hygiene kits, and a supply of soap to Khulm
District, Samangan Province to assist an estimated 600 families in five
villages displaced by landslides that followed heavy rains.
A landslide in Rostaq District, Takhar Province destroyed approximately
562 hectares of cultivated land and killed 2,000 head of cattle. More than
100 families moved to the districts of Yangi Qala and Deshta Qala, while
NGOs in the area are providing the remaining 280 families with food and
non-food items. Flooding has also impacted Bilkashan village, where 40
houses were destroyed.
Food Aid and Logistics. Since September 11, 2001, WFP, with support from
USAID, has delivered 455,257 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 364,337
MT has been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
Afghans.
The Rapid Emergency Food Needs Assessment (REFNA) finished evaluations of
12 villages in Day Kundi, Bamiyan Province. Next week, assessments will
focus on 10 to 15 villages in Sharistan District in Uruzgan Province. Both
areas, located in the center of the country, have a total estimated
population of 308,000 people, 60 percent of whom are considered
vulnerable.
Preliminary REFNA findings indicate that residents of Day Kundi and
Sharistan Districts have slowly exhausted coping mechanisms over the last
three years, during which time the scarcity of agricultural production has
threatened the livelihoods of these farming communities. In order to
survive, residents have sold livestock, become increasingly reliant on
food from outside sources, and have supplemented their diets with wild
grass grains and roots. Men in the villages have migrated in search of
work in the larger urban areas or in Iran and Pakistan. The coming months
leading up to the harvest are expected to be especially difficult,
particularly in remote areas that did not receive food aid. WFP is
working to provide 275,000 MT of food assistance to an estimated nine
million people in Afghanistan until the July harvest.
WFP and FAO are planning a crop assessment that will be completed before
the July harvest. The assessment will provide an overview of the food and
agriculture situation, summarize the food production forecast for
2001/2002, and summarize the cereal supply and demand and food aid
requirements for 2002/2003.
IDPs and Refugees. UNHCR, the AIA, and the NGO community are preparing
for the anticipated return this summer of more than 1.2 million Afghan
refugees and IDPs. According to UNHCR, more than 616,000 Afghan refugees
have been assisted in returning home in the eleven weeks since UNHCR and
the AIA began their voluntary repatriation program in coordination with
neighboring governments. IOM reports more than 160,00 IDPs have also been
assisted in returning home.
UNHCR reported that 32 repatriation centers will eventually be open across
Afghanistan to provide start-up packages of assistance to returnees, with
18 currently operating. Although these centers were designed to serve the
voluntary repatriation program, spontaneous returnees are also permitted
to receive start-up packages from the centers.
UNHCR reports that more than 550,000 Afghans have returned from Pakistan
since its program began March 1. UNHCR originally planned for 400,000
returnees from Pakistan this year, a number that was exceeded in the first
two months of the program. UNHCR has now more than doubled planning
figures to 850,000 returns for the year. 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, with roughly three in every four returnees going back to
Nangarhar and Kabul provinces.
According to UNHCR, more than 44,000 Afghans have returned home from Iran
since its program began on April 9. The majority of Afghans returning
from Iran have crossed at the northern Islam Qala border at Dogharun, and
have gone on to areas outside Herat Province, mainly to Kabul and other
urban centers. The Milak-Zaranj border crossing in the south, closed due
to factional fighting since the voluntary repatriation began, reopened on
May 5.
UNHCR reports that approximately 10,000 Afghans have been assisted in
returning home from the northern Central Asia states, including Tajikistan
and Turkmenistan.
UNHCR this week noted the strain that the hundreds of thousands of
returnees are putting on collapsed infrastructure and the generally
unstable security situation, and asked host countries like Australia to
not pressure the large number of Afghans living there to return home.
UNHCR began voluntary return operations this week for the 80,000 displaced
persons at the Chaman and Spin Boldak sites near the Afghanistan-Pakistan
border. Only a portion of the population is expected to take part in the
returns. Drought-affected nomads and farmers, along with ethnic Pashtuns
who fled persecution in the north, are not yet willing to leave the border
area to return to their homes. UNHCR assisted 670 Afghans in Spin Boldak
return to their homes in Kandahar Province in the first three days of the
program. In recent weeks, more that 1,500 refugees left the Chaman site
just inside Pakistan for Afghanistan. UNHCR is advising the displaced
population at both border sites about return options, conditions, and
assistance. IDPs returning from Spin Boldak receive a transport
allowance, a UNHCR family kit, and three months of food aid from WFP.
IOM announced that it would have to suspend all of its Internal Transport
Network operations for IDPs in Afghanistan on May 27 if it does not
receive pledges of $10 million. Most of IOM's IDP operations were
suspended last week due to a funding shortage.
Since late February, IOM has transported thousands of IDPs to their home
provinces in cooperation with UNHCR. IOM-assisted returns have included
1,300 IDPs from Kabul to Bamiyan Province; 55,000 IDPs from Herat IDP
camps to Herat and Badghis provinces; 48,000 IDPs in Mazar-e-Sharif to
several provinces in northern Afghanistan; 8,200 IDPS from Bamiyan
Province to the Shaigan Valley, Baghlan Province; and 13,000 IDPs from the
Hesar Shahi camp near Jalalabad to their villages in Nangarhar, Laghman,
and Kabul provinces.
Health. Medecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) warned of an increase in the
spread of infectious diseases as the number of returning Afghans grows.
Health experts have witnessed a rise in cases of diarrhea and in the
overall number of patients treated since large-scale returns started.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has expressed concern about crowded
living conditions that encourage the spread of tuberculosis, a disease
affecting 80,000 Afghans every year. Only an estimated 20 percent of the
Afghan population has access to proper treatment for tuberculosis. 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 that 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. OTHER
