EQ Phase 1 [Restoring WASH services functionality for earthquake affected people in Aleppo and Idleb] ltpgtltbrgtIHR’s aim with this project is to assist with the humanitarian response in the areas affected by the recent earthquake in NWS. We focus on addressing the urgent needs of vulnerable groups such as the elderly, women, children, people with disabilities, and newly displaced families. Based on the latest report from ACU, 64 percent of those affected by the earthquakes have WASH needs, and over 80 percent require hygiene kits ,the IHRs RNA had reflected the similar findings. Public networks have reportedly stopped pumping water, and many private and public wells have stopped working—long queues of water trucks. The extent of the damage and resulting needs are still being documented, and the potential consequences of the earthquake could be catastrophic.ltbrgtThe project aims to support 40524 beneficiaries of IDPs, and host communities affected by the earthquake in NWS in Dana, Atareb, Idleb, Sharan, Jandairis, and Suran subdistricts.ltbrgtas urgent sustain interventions, The delivered activities in areas affected by the earthquake will be as follows:ltbrgt·nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Quick maintenance of Katmeh community High-Water tank.ltbrgt·nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Establishment of High-water tanks in Harjalah and Bayada communities.ltbrgt·nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Rehabilitation/ Upgrade of 3 water stations (Katmeh, Haji Hasanli, and Martien) and operational support with chlorination and WASH tariff collection and cost recovery mechanism.ltbrgt·nbsp nbsp nbsp nbsp Full Emergency WASH package in five camps (Islamuna 1 and Kamounet Homs in Dana and Atareb subdistricts in Idleb Al Amal, Al sawamie, and Katmeh 1 camps in Sharran subdistricts in Aleppo).
