WASH Rehabilitation required of 1061 damaged tube wells Temporary latrines required in areas of displacement Health Anecdotal reports of an increase in water borne and skin diseases Expected increase in snakebites Expected decrease in access to health facilities during the water logging (including access safe child birth) Immediate Needs (Upto 3 Months) Nutrition The long term impact of water logging could be seen in a reduction in nutrition status due to the interface between food insecurity, lack of dietary diversity, inappropriate Infant and Young Child Feeding practices, and poor sanitation and hygiene.

Medium-Term Needs (Upto 12 Months) Sustainable Livelihood Recovery programmes in the form of incoming generating activities and alternative livelihood solutions could be undertaken by the relevant humanitarian actors. Climate and Disaster Resilient Permanent Shelter assistance should be undertaken considering Build Back Better approach for the fully and partially damaged houses Rehabilitation of water sources and latrines as well as emergency supply of water and sanitation facilities should be expanded to minimize the high risk of diseases including Cholera GoB and Other Organization’s Response during 2011-13 Food Items 41,000 families covered by GOB GR Rice (1,675 MT), GR Cash (BDT 1,680,000) and VGD 27,000 MT rice by USAID targeting 40,000 families 26,500 families covered with food support by INGO/NGO WFP is currently providing food support to 25,900 families at Satkhira.

Programmatic interventions are needed in food security and nutrition, livelihood recovery, water and sanitation and hygiene and shelter. Strengthened coordination and monitoring mechanism in water logging response and recovery under the auspicious of local administration.
