Humanitarian Situation report No.16

(Rohingya influx)

Highlights The humanitarian situation for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh remains dire,

with some 655,000 refugees newly arrived since 25 August 2017. At least 58% of them are children. Even if the pace of arrivals has slowed down, thousands of refugees continue to arrive every week, adding pressure on already heavily stretched resources on the ground.

As of 21 December 2017, 2,071cases of suspected diphtheria were reported with 24 deaths. Over 50 per cent of these deaths occurred among children younger than five years of age. As of 20 December, a total of 66,119 children between 6 weeks and 6 years were vaccinated with Pentavalent, bOPV and PCV vaccine. Among the older group, 44,022 children were vaccinated with Td vaccine. To support the vaccination effort UNICEF trained 880 partner staff and volunteers and informed/mobilized 114 Imams and 103 majhis.

UNICEF pursues its support to the WASH sector to scale up the hygiene promotion, a component that has been lagging in the response. 70 trainers from the WASH sector received training on hygiene promotion.

Last week, UNICEF opened 97 new learning centres, trained 137 new teachers, and enrolled 9,960 new students (aged 4-14 years).

Thanks to the generous funding support from donors, UNICEF’s current appeal is 92 per cent funded. UNICEF will need an estimated US$ 144 million for its Rohingya response in 2018.

Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs The influx of Rohingya refugees from northern parts of Myanmar’s Rakhine State into Bangladesh restarted following attacks at Myanmar Border Guard Police posts on 25 August 2017. As of 21 December, the Inter-Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) reported that 655,0001 Rohingya refugees have entered Bangladesh since the attacks. According to ISCG’s rapid needs assessment, 58 per cent of new arrivals are children and 60 per cent are girl children and women including a high number of pregnant (3 per cent) and lactating women (7 per cent). With the new influx, the total number of Rohingya who have fled from Myanmar into Bangladesh, coupled with the affected population in the communities, has reached an estimated staggering 1.2 million.2 There are 720,000 children among the new arrivals, existing Rohingya populations and vulnerable host communities who are affected and need urgent humanitarian assistance including critical life-saving interventions. The inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2017-2018 identified the areas of WASH, health, nutrition and food security and shelter for immediate scale-up to save lives in both settlements and host communities. As per the HRP, the Rohingya population in Cox’s Bazar is highly vulnerable, many having experienced severe trauma, and are now living in extremely difficult conditions. The limited WASH facilities in the refugee established settlements, put in place by WASH sector partners including UNICEF prior to the current influx, are over-stretched, with an average of 100 people per latrine. New arrivals also have limited access to bathing facilities, especially women, and urgently require WASH supplies including soap and buckets. Given the current population density and poor sanitation and hygiene conditions, any outbreak of cholera or Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD), which are endemic in Bangladesh, could kill thousands of people residing in temporary settlements. Urgent nutrition needs have been prioritized for children aged under five (including infants), pregnant and lactating women and adolescent girls. These include close to 17,000 children under five suffering from severe acute malnutrition (SAM) to be supported over the next six months. Nutrition sector partners plan to cover 70 per cent of the identified needs in the makeshift and new settlements, host communities and official refugee camps. Moreover, children, adolescents and women in both the Rohingya and host communities are exposed to high levels of violence, abuse and exploitation including sexual harassment, child labour and child marriage and are at high risk of being trafficked. Finally, more than 450,000 total Rohingya children aged 4-18 years old are in need of education services.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination The overall humanitarian response for the Rohingya refugee crisis is facilitated by a sector-based coordination mechanism, the Inter-Sectoral Coordination Group (ISCG), established for refugee response in Cox’s Bazar. The ISCG is guided by Strategic Executive Group (SEG) that is designed to be an inclusive decision-making forum consisting of heads of international humanitarian organizations to ensure effective humanitarian response to the Rohingya refugee crisis.3 On the government side, a National Task Force (NTF), established by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MoFA), leads the coordination of the overall Rohingya crisis. However, after the August 2017 influx, the Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief (MoDMR) has been assigned to coordinate the Rohingya response with support from the Bangladesh Army and Border Guard Bangladesh (BGB). In this structure, the roles of the Refugee, Relief and Repatriation (RRRC) Commissioner and the Deputy Commissioner (DC) of Cox's Bazar district are critical for daily coordination and information sharing. UNICEF and all other humanitarian organizations operating from Cox’s Bazar are required to provide daily updates to keep district authorities informed. At sub-national level, UNICEF continues to lead coordination in the nutrition sector and child protection sub-sector and co-lead the education sector with Save the Children. UNICEF also co-leads the WASH sector along with Action against Hunger (ACF). It is important to note that the cluster system has not been officially activated. A needs analysis and strategic framework workshop was held in Cox’s Bazar with participation of SEG, Heads of sub-offices and sector coordinators. The workshop reached consensus on the humanitarian needs analysis, the most likely scenario for 2018 and

1 Situation Update: Rohingya Crisis, Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG), 21 December 2017 2 The 1.2 million also includes 200,000 Rohingya before the new influx, 54,000 for contingency and 300,000 affected host communities. Prior to August this year, around 33,000 registered Rohingya refugees lived in two camps officially recognised by the Government located in Kutupalong and Nayapara in Ukhiya and Teknaf upazilas respectively, which have been functioning since 1992 under the care of UNHCR. In addition, more than 60,000 undocumented Rohingya resided in makeshift settlements (in Leda, Kutupalong, Shamlapur and Balukhali) and an estimated 300,000-500,000 lived scattered within the host communities through the district and across the country. 3 The SEG is chaired by the Resident Coordinator with the IOM Head of Mission and UNHCR Representative as co-chairs. At this stage of the crisis, the SEG will be meeting on a weekly basis. The membership includes UN agencies, INGOs (ACF, MSF and Save the Children), and the Red Cross/Crescent movement (ICRC, IFRC). The SEG is a flexible coordination structure which will be adjusted as the situation evolves.

on how to accommodate contingencies in the strategic plan. In addition, it defined the overarching objectives, strategy and framework of the Response Plan.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF’s comparative advantage is its ability to work simultaneously in refugee camps and host communities with the government, local, international NGOs and civil society organizations, in coordination to mobilize their support as appropriate. UNICEF is working in close coordination with all the humanitarian actors at national and sub-national level including government line ministries and departments, such as the Department of Public Health Engineering, to effectively scale up WASH interventions, with the Ministry of Social Welfare for provision of child protection services and with the Civil Surgeon’s Office at the Ministry of Health to organize mass immunisation campaigns.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Nutrition

An estimated 564,000 people are in urgent need of nutrition services. Among them, 16,695 children under 59 months of age need treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM); 198,868 children aged 6-59 months need Vitamin A supplementation; 50,780 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) need counselling on infant and young child feeding practices in emergencies. Since 25 August, a total of 227,968 children under the age of five have been screened for malnutrition and, out of them, 10,179 children were identified with SAM. In just last week, we have reached 38,337 children and screened them for malnutrition. Among them, 638 children were identified with SAM - 586 of these children are now receiving treatment. This makes a total of 9,785 children receiving treatment for malnutrition since 25 August 2017. In addition, total 228,269 children between 6-59 months have received vitamin A supplementation and 6,226 children between 6-23 months of age received micronutrient powder (MNP) supplementation. In past one week, we reached 306 children between 6-23 months of age and provided them micronutrient powder (MNP) supplementation. UNICEF has also reached out 39,370 pregnant and lactating women to provide infant and young child feeding (IYCF) counselling along with communication to reduce undernutrition among infants and young children. Last week the number had been 3,866 pregnant and lactating women who received IYCF counselling and related communication to reduce undernutrition among their children. The Nutrition team is working on finalising the monthly reporting tools for all nutrition partners to enhance reporting quality and performance indicators. This is set to be effective from January next year. Additionally, the supervision check-list for the outpatients feeding centres was finalized and endorsed by the Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) technical working group. CARE Bangladesh will start applying the check-list in the UNICEF-supported centres first and then expand to all sector partners. Discussions on preparing an in-depth IYCF assessment is in the pipeline. The assessment could help understand the exact IYCF needs and interventions required to prevent undernutrition among the infants and children. A coordination meeting with C4D will be arranged to ensure collection and generation of complementarity of qualitative data from both the IYCF assessment and the planned Knowledge, Attitude and Practices (KAP) study. Nutrition sector working closely with partners to strengthen outreach component of the CMAM program. All sector partners were oriented the issued during the week to improve follow up of program beneficiaries, tracing of defaulters and early detection of malnourished children and their subsequent referral. In addition, monitoring and evaluation tools for the CMAM and IYCF-E programs were drafted and to be finalized this week and this will enable partners to be able to evaluate nutrition program performance based on international standards.

Health

As of 21 December 2017, 2,071 cases of suspected diphtheria were reported with 24 deaths. Over 50 per cent of these deaths occurred among the children who are younger than five years of age. The number of new diphtheria cases may have declined slightly in the third week of December. Balukhali makeshift settlements remain the most affected area but there have been cases reported from other locations. Over 74 per cent of all the cases are identified among children below the age of 15 years, with 55 per cent of the cases among females. In addition to diphtheria, diarrheal disease, acute respiratory tract infections and unexplained fevers remain common among children and represent the main reasons for consultations.

In response to the diphtheria outbreak, UNICEF is currently supporting the Government of Bangladesh and partners in a large vaccination campaign comprising of pentavalent vaccine, bOPV and pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV) for children aged between 6 weeks and 6 years, and Tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccine for older children aged between 7 and 15 years. As of 20 December, a total of 66,119 children between 6 weeks and 6 years were vaccinated. Among the older group, 44,022 children were vaccinated with Td vaccines. UNICEF also organised a customized training of integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI) that incorporated a diphtheria module and reached over 50 health workers from various partners. A UNICEF-supported training on case management for AWD was completed by ICDDR b. and an additional 32 health workers from national and international agencies were trained. Earlier, around 350 health workers were trained. UNICEF is also providing support to the host community focusing on the provision of life-saving new-born care. 51 new-borns are currently receiving care in the UNICEF-supported three Special Care New-born Units (SCANU). The SCANUs are located one each at the district hospital in Cox’s Bazar, Ukhiya upazilla health complex and Teknaf upazilla health complex. UNICEF continues to strengthen the quality of health services provided through a structured monitoring of indicators including availability of human resources and supplies in the camps and makeshift settlements.

WASH

An estimated 1.2 million people from the Rohingya and host communities are in need of WASH assistance. This is further complicated by the continuing influx of new arrivals. The WASH sector is targeting to reach at least 887,000 people for water and 950,000 people for sanitation. UNICEF has planned to reach at least a half of the total target of the WASH sector. Since 25 August, 222,600 people have been reached with safe water supply through the provision of 519 tube wells, water trucking and a surface water treatment plant. A significant number of the people have been reached through improved sanitation facilities. UNICEF has provided direct support in developing these facilities. Overall, 337,150 people, representing 75 per cent of the total 450,000 targeted population have gained access to sanitation facilities through the construction of 11,735 toilets. Last week, 228 latrines have been safely emptied, benefitting 11,400 people. Also, significant progress has been registered in the past one week for the construction of 10,000 latrines by the Bangladesh Army as the number of completed latrines is now 8,445. Since 25 August, through UNICEF’s support, 4,396 hygiene promotion sessions were conducted to disseminate key hygiene and safe water handling messages, reaching 189,895 women and children. To provide enabling environment, a total of 22,688 hygiene kits were distributed, reaching 113,440 people. UNICEF’s support on strengthening the capacity of the WASH sector on hygiene promotion and faecal sludge management has made it possible for the sector to scale up these two critical areas for the prevention of AWD outbreak. Last week, UNICEF focused on supporting the WASH sector to scale up hygiene promotion which has been lagging in the response. 70 trainers from the WASH sector received training on hygiene promotion. This training was facilitated by UNICEF in partnership with Oxfam and IFRC. A contract with REACH has been signed with a start date of early January to provide mapping and monitoring of access to and use of WASH services as well as monitoring of WASH infrastructure functionality. Consultations with all UNICEF partners is ongoing to develop new agreements for next year and all partners are made aware of ensuring quality and sustainability of the services besides providing adequate and appropriate levels of service. The new agreements should include the provision of bathing spaces for women, approaches to menstrual hygiene management (MHM), approaches on improving community involvement in planning, operation and management of WASH facilities and services by the refugee communities themselves. UNICEF is working with DPHE to develop a full water quality testing laboratory in Cox’s Bazar to strengthen the government’s capacity to conduct water quality surveillance. Negotiations are in the early stages with DPHE in coordination with JICA for the construction of deep boreholes equipped with storage facilities, solar powered pumping and a distribution network. Last week the WASH Sector Coordination Unit focused on drafting the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), WASH sector strategy and response plan for the 2018 Joint Response Plan (JRP). The JRP will be covering the period from March-December 2018.

Child Protection

The child protection sector is targeting 200,000 children, of which UNICEF is targeting 180,000 for provision of child protection services. As of 21 December, at least 1,917 unaccompanied and separated children have been registered and 114,603 children have received much-needed psychosocial support and community-based child protection services through the support of UNICEF and implementing partners since 25 August.

UNICEF continues to register unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) every week. Last week, 24 UASC were registered and received support through referral and follow up. This illustrates that there is continued need for targeted support for these highly vulnerable children. UNICEF and partners also provided much needed psychosocial support to 7,163 children in the past one week. Adolescents face specific risks and are often amongst the most vulnerable to sexual exploitation, child marriage, abuse and child labour. UNICEF and partners have been working towards supporting the adolescents through life-skill based education. With our partners, we made a significant progress in addressing the specific risks and vulnerabilities of adolescents through providing life-skill based education and referrals, reaching a total of 27,262 adolescent girls and boys since 25 August. During the reporting period, UNICEF reached 194 adolescents with this critical service. Additionally, to enhance the quality of services in the life-skills based education and referrals, UNICEF also provided training to 31 staff from partner organizations. The training covered topics such as child rights, life-skills, gender reproductive health, child marriage, child abuse, trafficking and coping with stress and emotion. Initial results from the rapid inter-agency Child Protection in Emergencies assessment was shared among the partners in the sector. Amongst the other findings, the assessment indicated that the girls face the greatest risks of trafficking and child marriage. Violence at home also emerged as a concerning factor amongst the refugee and host community population. UASC continue to be amongst the most vulnerable children with the risks of getting lost in the camps, compounding the ongoing key problems. UNICEF will continue to work with partners to address these concerns. In response to the diphtheria outbreak and to prevent the spread of the disease, the Child Protection Sub-Sector developed practical guidance for the Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS), in collaboration with the Education, Health Sector and C4D teams. This guideline has been shared widely to partners in the sub-sector. The Child Protection Sub-Sector has developed the Child Protection Focal Point system, which has designated child protection actors as the focal points for the referral of child protection cases in 32 locations in the camps, zones and host communities. Training for the focal points has been planned.

Education

A total of 453,000 Rohingya and Bangladeshi host community’s affected children aged 4–18 years urgently need access to education, including 270,000 newly arrived Rohingya children. In response, UNICEF aims to reach at least 201,765 children aged 4–14 years, including 50,000 children in host communities. To provide learning opportunities to these children, UNICEF aims to train 3,500 teachers and construct 1,448 learning centres in refugee settlements and camps.

Since 25 August, UNICEF has reached 60,780 children through the learning centres, and among them 7,000 children are from the host communities. The current age groups for all the learning centres are between 4 and 14 years old. A total of 769 teachers received training on early learning and non-formal education, and are conducting teaching, learning activities in the learning centres. So far 53,780 refugee children are enrolled in 494 learning centres across the different settlements. Last week, 9,960 new students were enrolled in learning centers, 137 new teachers were trained and 97 new learning centres were established and functional across the different settlements. The Education Sector Advisory Group has been launched on December 9 and UNICEF is playing an active role in the formalization of teachers’ salary standards and other actions to ensure quality services to affected children. UNICEF Education team is in constantly monitoring the education activities in the learning centres and interacting with the partners to improve the services. The team is working on developing short videos on good teaching practices from the learning centres. Such videos will be used in other learning centres through smart phone devices to show teachers good examples and better teaching techniques as well as how to use educational supplies effectively.

Communication for Development (C4D), Community Engagement and Accountability Considering the urgent humanitarian assistance needed, including critical life-saving interventions, and the demands of the refugee community, UNICEF C4D has introduced several feedback mechanisms including the establishment of Information Feedback Centres (IFC) for communities to provide critical life-saving information as well as to respond to queries, complaints and feedback. So far, the target reach is 180,000 people, including 3,000 community/opinion leaders. Since 25 August, from eight established IFCs a total number of 8,742 feedback, complaints and queries have been recorded. 80 model mothers and 800 CMVs are disseminating key life-saving messages through door to door interventions in the camps. Moreover, broadcasting of key life-saving messages is ongoing through Bangladesh Betar, Cox’s Bazar and Radio NAF. In addition, 32 massive campaigns have been conducted in camps so far to raise awareness on various concerns, including health and hygiene issues. As of 20 December 2017, 1,050 community/opinion leaders were sensitized to provide life-saving information and referrals.

Last week, a total of 555 feedback, complaints and queries have been recorded in 8 IFCs. 196 local community leaders, mainly Imams and majhis ( designated community leaders) were oriented on diphtheria. In addition, a total of 3,571 community members were reached through Community Dialogue and IPT shows. Approximately 200,000 people were reached with life-saving messages through 880 community volunteers conducting door to door awareness as well as through regular radio programmes. On spot checking of quality of information, feedback and queries are done regularly through UNICEF field monitoring team and partners’ senior management. In addition, recently introduced Online Data Kits (ODK) for IFCs are being used to monitor real-time data entry and analysis of the progress and feedback are provided by the UNICEF and partner’s (PULSE) senior management. A very systematic and structured planning and reporting system is in development which will be introduced soon. The most remarkable story of the week is the successful response to the diphtheria outbreak through effective mobilization, engagement and outreach activities in three camps. Thousands of children aged between 6 weeks and 7 years were vaccinated after the implementation of the diphtheria communication strategy and conducting seven advocacy campaigns with key influential persons. In the past one week, UNICEF informed and engaged 880 partner staff and volunteers, mobilized 114 Imams and 103 majhis for the diphtheria campaign. UNICEF developed and disseminated thousands of leaflets, banners and flash cards on diphtheria, delivered public messages through megaphone announcements by Imams and volunteers from 74 spots, reaching a cumulative number of 104,531 people from 17,341 households.

Supply and Logistics Over 3.5 metric tonnes (17 cubic metre) of supplies were dispatched to partners supporting WASH, Health and Nutrition programmes during the reporting period. The current value of supplies in the warehouses exceeds US$650,000 with more supplies both offshore and locally procured incoming this week. Work is ongoing in expanding warehouse storage in Cox’s Bazar and UNICEF is also utilizing the common storage provided by the Logistics Sector. The procurement of supplies locally is underway with winterisation clothing and blankets for mother and baby and the distribution is due to commence by late December.

Media and External Communication In the past week, UNICEF has been providing support to the Associate Press (AP), New York Times and Reuters covering exclusive stories on the Rohingya children and mothers. Regular communication asset collection is ongoing along with updating of Humanitarian Situation Report, communications engagement, and press notes. The nutrition assessments related press note has gone out which is now receiving worldwide coverage in the media.

Security The security situation has remained stable although marked by ongoing minor crime, drug-related criminality, reports of domestic violence, prostitution and other sexual exploitation. Bangladesh security forces, including the army, border guards, and police, remain deployed within the camp locations during daylight hours and represent a robust presence, which provides safety and security not only for the camp occupants but also reassurance and support to ongoing humanitarian operations. Road traffic accidents due to limited driving skills plus road movements after dark remain a major safety concern for UN/UNICEF personnel. This, coupled with poor mobile and VHF communications, could challenge the effective response to an incident.

Funding UNICEF’s 2017-2018 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) appeal for the Rohingya refugees requires US$ 76.1 million to provide life-saving and other services to over half a million children, which includes both the existing, new influx and the vulnerable host community children. UNICEF wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all resource partners who have contributed generously to the humanitarian response in 2017. Given the scale of this crisis, UNICEF has allocated US$ 8 million of its regular resources for the critical response. In addition, US$ 11 million was advanced as a loan to the Country Office using the internal Emergency Programme Fund mechanism to ensure timely response and allow for the scale up of UNICEF’s humanitarian assistance. UNICEF is estimating that US$ 144 million will be required for the Rohingya crisis response in 2018.
