Situation Report #35, Fiscal Year (FY) 2002    May 31, 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 is nearing completion, and
progress continues on the second phase.  An increasing number of incidents
have impacted Loya Jirga participants, and terrorist threats to the Loya
Jirga have emerged.  The U.N.  World Food Program (WFP) continues to make
adjustments to its programs to account for pipeline shortages.  Funding
constraints threaten programs of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR)  and led to the suspension of the Internal Organization for
Migration's (IOM) Internal Transport Network for internally displaced
persons (IDPs).  A three-day national polio immunization campaign this
week targeted children under the age of five.

Political/Military.  The first phase of the Loya Jirga process continued
this week, and there are 22-25 districts remaining that need to conduct
assemblies (shuras) to select district representatives.  Ultimately, each
of the county's 381 districts will have held shuras.  Second phase
selections for the district's delegation to the Loya Jirga on June 10-16
have been completed in Mazar, Bamiyan, and Ghazni, and should conclude in
Jalalabad soon.  Herat began their second phase on May 29, leaving
Kandahar, Kunduz, Gardez/Logar area, and Kabul to start their second
phase.  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.

British troops launched Operation Buzzard this week in the plains south
and east of Khost near the Pakistan border.  The mission of the operation
is to locate al Qaeda and Taliban safe havens in Pakistan and curtail
their movement back into Afghanistan.  President Musharraf of Pakistan
announced on May 30 that he would begin withdrawing Pakistani troops on
the Afghanistan border, who have been assisting Coalition troops in the
effort to block movement of al Qaeda and Taliban fighters.  Musharraf is
redeploying the troops to the contested Kashmir region.

Security. There are increasing reports of incidents targeting participants
in the Loya Jirga process.  U.N. officials have reported that eight
Afghans (one in Kabul, four in Kandahar, and three in Ghor)  associated
with the Loya Jirga preparations were killed in May, though a motive for
the killings has not been confirmed.  In the past week, two local
representatives selected during phase one of the Loya Jirga process were
arrested in Herat Province, though one was later released.  Another
representative was detained.  A teacher elected as a delegate in phase two
in Badghis Province was also arrested.  Six other representatives in
Karukh District, Herat Province received death threats from a local chief,
and declined participation in phase two of the Loya Jirga process.  The
U.N. has dispatched investigators to the region, and asked for cooperation
from the provincial government and the AIA.

In a greater threat to the process, the commander of U.S. forces in
Afghanistan cited intelligence reports indicating that al Qaeda and
Taliban leaders operating in Pakistan are planning terrorist attacks in
Kabul to disrupt the Loya Jirga.  Officials in southern Afghanistan also
believe that Taliban supporters in the Kandahar area are organizing a
coordinated campaign against the Loya Jirga. Letters and leaflets have
appeared in Kandahar that offer a reward for captured or dead Americans,
including Afghans working for U.S. organizations.  The brutal murder three
weeks ago of four Afghan soldiers north of Kandahar appears to be linked
to their involvement in the Loya Jirga.  U.N. officials claim that only
0.5 percent of the Afghan population is opposed to the Loya Jirga.

Security incidents this week impacted humanitarian organizations and
Coalition forces.  A non- governmental organization reported that its
office in Mazar was robbed at gunpoint on the evening of May 29.  There
were no international staff present in the office, but a national staff
person was badly injured in the assault.  On May 29, three rockets were
fired at a Coalition military camp three miles east of Gardez.  No one was
injured in this first attack on the camp.  On May 23, an unidentified
assailant fired on a UNHCR vehicle traveling from Ghazni to Kabul.  U.N.
staff investigated the incident and do not believe that the U.N. or UNHCR
were specifically targeted.

In the north, fighting between minor warlords in Sar- e-Pul continues, and
several NGOs have evacuated their staff and suspended programs until the
security situation improves.  Generals Dostum and Atta reached a peace
agreement in Mazar and have agreed to move their heavy weapons outside of
the city.  In the south, the Kandahar-Kabul road remains open but is
considered very dangerous after dark.  In Gardez, a stalemate continues
since warlord Padshah Khan refused to surrender after firing missiles on
the city in late April in an attempt to reclaim the governorship.  It is
reported that warlords are fighting north of Jalalabad, and that the U.N.
has suspended all ground movement between Kabul and Jalalabad.

Locust.  Locusts have reached the flying stage in Baghlan and Samangan
provinces.  In addition to crop areas, mature locusts have emerged from
breeding grounds in the hills.  The U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization
(FAO) reported that 5,827 hectares out of 219,187 hectares of planted
wheat in Samangan Province had been destroyed by locusts as of May 1, less
than three percent of the crop.  Since that time, Samangan Province
experienced a ten-day pesticide shortage due to transport problems, and
Baghlan Province experienced a similar shortage.  Further survey data will
be available in late June.  FAO is continuing its locust campaign into
July for the duration of the wheat harvest.

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.

Food Aid and Logistics.  Since September 11, 2001, WFP, with support from
USAID, has delivered 477,101 MT of food into Afghanistan, of which 373,765
MT has been distributed throughout the country, assisting some 6.6 million
Afghans.

WFP continues to experience constraints in their food pipeline due to
insufficient supply.  WFP has managed to significantly reduce the impact
of pipeline lags on key programs, and has reallocated existing stocks and
incoming commodities through July to reflect changing requirements in each
of the regions.  WFP has also carefully prioritized allocation of stocks
to drought-affected, displaced and returning populations.  Expansion of
Food For Work, Food For Education, and urban vulnerable programs will be
delayed until the pipeline improves.

WFP's school feeding program, which provides fortified bread to students,
reached 47,878 new students in May in Jalalabad and Kandahar.  The program
is expected to reach 250,000 students by the end of the summer.

This week, WFP completed Rapid Emergency Food Needs Assessments (REFNA) in
Bamiyan, and will conduct assessments in Farah Province next week.  The
REFNA missions have been conducted by helicopter in rural areas since
February, and are being used to assess food needs, health conditions, and
to improve food distribution.

A USAID-funded vulnerability assessment of 1,100 households indicates
continuing food insecurity throughout Afghanistan.  In the survey's sample
group, food secure families decreased from 59 percent to nine percent over
the last three years.  Although high rates of mortality or malnutrition
were not observed, coping strategies have become drastic, including the
selling of daughters into marriage.  Of the families surveyed, assets had
declined by 70 percent, while debt increased by 75 percent.

WFP and FAO have been preparing for a crop and food supply assessment that
will be completed before the July harvest.  More than 60 national staff
surveyors began fieldwork in early May, and a team of international
experts will conduct limited field surveys and analyze field team findings
in mid-June.  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.  Preparations for the annual Vulnerability
Analysis and Mapping (VAM)  are also underway.

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 815,000 Afghan refugees
have been assisted in returning home in the three months since UNHCR and
the AIA began their voluntary repatriation program in coordination with
neighboring governments. An average of 13,000 Afghan refugees returned
daily to Afghanistan during the month of May.

UNHCR reports that more than 730,000 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 60,000 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 stated this week that the pace of returns has strained its funding
sources, which are expected to last until the end of June if no additional
funding is provided.  UNHCR reports that two-thirds of its budget for
Afghanistan is currently funded. Due to funding and pipeline shortages,
returnees in Jalalabad, Kabul, and Herat have received 50 kg.  bags of
wheat instead of the standard 150 kg. three- month ration.  Family kits in
Jalalabad are low, and some returnees are being given redeemable coupons
to collect supplies when they are restocked.

UNHCR has changed its system of cash grants for Afghan returnees.  Cash
will now be distributed to individuals rather than families so families do
not separate in order to receive extra funding.  The grants will also vary
depending on destination to better cover travel costs.

UNHCR and local authorities are finalizing plans for 10 settlements in
Kandahar province as longer-term sites for up to 50,000 IDPs currently
sheltering in Spin Boldak and Chaman along the Pakistan- Afghanistan
border.  Relocation to the sites, which will shelter no more than 5,000
people each, may begin in late June for those IDPs unwilling to return to
their homes because of drought or ethnic persecution.  Since May 16, UNHCR
has assisted 2,402 IDPs from Spin Boldak wishing to return to their home
areas. UNHCR is advising the displaced population at both border sites
about return options, conditions, and assistance.

After temporarily suspending its Internal Transport Network operations for
IDPs in Afghanistan on May 13, IOM announced on May 31 that it has
indefinitely suspended the program due to lack of funding.  IOM is
consulting with partners to ease the impact of the end of the program, and
emphasized that a solution will need to be found for returnees from Iran
via the Islam Qala border crossing.  New donor support has enabled IOM to
continue its care and maintenance activities in IDP camps in the north and
west of Afghanistan.  It is anticipated that these care and maintenance
activities will be handed over to other organizations in the coming
months.

Between mid-January and the end of May, IOM assisted more than 144,000
IDPs through its Internal Transport Network. IOM has transported IDPs to
their home provinces, including 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
15,538 IDPs from the Hesar Shahi camp near Jalalabad to their villages in
Nangarhar, Laghman, Kunar, and Kabul provinces.

Health. On May 27, UNICEF, the Ministry of Public Health, and the World
Health Organization (WHO)  launched a three-day national immunization
campaign against polio, part of an effort targeting 5.8 million children
under the age of five.  The campaign is the second of four rounds, and the
final rounds will be conducted in September and October.

WHO expressed concern about the risk of a cholera outbreak and an increase
in diarrheal diseases due to the volume of refugees returning to urban
areas and poor drinking water and sanitation conditions.  Diarrheal
diseases cause the death of 85,000 Afghan children each year.  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 has been 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 USG ASSISTANCE

New Actions.  As part of its contribution to UNHCR's annual appeal,
State/PRM provided $4.6 million to UNHCR to assist Afghans in Afghanistan,
Pakistan, and Iran.  This contribution was part of a larger sum provided
to UNHCR for its activities in South Asia.

USAID/FFP approved 38,000 MTs of P.L. 480 Title II wheat for WFP's relief
and reconstruction activities in Afghanistan.  The estimated value
including transport is $17,530,400.
