UN OCHA Koshi Floods Situation Update February 2009
Abstract:
Following the Government of Nepal’s (GoN) recent Detailed Damage Assessment/verification process, approximately 42,807 Nepalis (7,572HH) are recorded as being affected by flooding in the Saptari and Sunsari Districts in August 2008, in addition to an estimated 11,000 Indian nationals (2,328HH). The Return and Rehabilitation Unit (RRU) was established in Sunsari on 19 January, chaired by the Assistant Chief District Officer (A.CDO) to make recommendations on implementation of the GoN Return Strategy. Following the release of the first public information notices for flood-affected Nepalese and Indian nationals, there has been an influx of applications. The District Administration Office (DAO) in Sunsari had recorded 2,670 applications of flood-affected Nepalese by 18 February (including 44H from Jhumka Camp), approximately 35% of the total displaced. The Government has subsequently extended the application period by 7 days. In Sunsari, 431 Indian HH of 755 have received the GoN Return Package, with 1,356 of 1,805 Indian HH in Saptari. In Saptari, Camp A and C have less than 10 shelters remaining, with Camp B completely vacated. Camp D is expected to be vacated on completion of the distribution of the Return Package in the coming week. #FLOODS #NEPALFLOODS2009
