(MENAFN- QNA) Qatar Red Crescent (QRC) dispatched an assessment delegation to India to explore the humanitarian conditions and urgent needs in the flood-stricken parts of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, in preparation for a potential relief intervention.
The humanitarian response priorities are as follows: six-month food assistance after the agriculture was destroyed, domestic animals died, and food stock ran out with most households; nonfood items including kitchenware, hygiene kits, mattresses, building and maintenance material for partly damaged homes, and dewatering pumps; sheltering, particularly with the approach of snowfall, accumulating to form possibly 10 meter high blocs, as well as winter needs such as heavy clothes, heaters, and blankets; drinking water, as the water station was destroyed; rehabilitation of hospitals and supply of medications; and sanitation services such as dewatering and garbage collection to prevent infections and waterborne diseases.
