Emergency Assistance to Disaster-Affected Populations in East Sepik and Highlands Provinces in Papua New Guinea The humanitarian situation in Papua New Guinea (PNG) is dominated by recurring natural hazards and climatic shocks. Such events, including earthquakes, floods, storms, and volcano eruptions, frequently result in population displacement, injuries, and death. The situation is exacerbated by the poor security situation particularly in the Highlands provinces, which over the years have provoked civil unrest and tribal violence, further increasing the humanitarian needs in this region. In the early hours of 24 March 2024, an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 and a depth of 40.15km struck the East Sepik province. This has caused loss of lives, and significant damage to property and infrastructure, causing population displacement. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is working with the East Sepik provincial authorities to respond to the disaster. Through this project, IOM is addressing urgent shelter, non-food item, water, sanitation and hygiene, protection and logistical needs to improve the living conditions of households affected by the earthquake, flooding, and landslides in East Sepik and Highlands provinces of PNG. In addition to this, IOM continues to collect, process, and disseminate information on displacement trends and the most pressing multisectoral needs through its Displacement Tracking Matrix.
