Findings of Food &  Water

  • There is high level of food insecurity in three Talukas as their lands & crops are inundated.
  • Water supply situation in the flood affected areas is inadequate as the people have no access to clean and safe drinking water. There was no piped water supply system prior to floods in most of the affected areas. a cases are increasing.
  • Presently, the water is supplied to the communities through tinkering.
  • Water is insufficient given drinking, cooking, washing, bathing and other uses. It is also of low quality.
  • There was no water testing system.
  • The communities were also lacking clean utensils’ for storage of this potable water as most of their belongings were washed away in the floods.

Recommendations

  • There is need for food supplies on priority.
  • Water quantity and quality should be increased to cater the needs. This will also decrease the incidence of disease outbreaks in the area.
  • Distribution of water purification tablets and PUR sachets in flood affected communities. Orientation on their usage should also be conducted.
