HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE IN SINDH H umanitarian R esponse in S indh Overall Situation Analysis and Needs Permanent WASH solutions at the village level are required and the majority of agencies are working towards delivery of these services. Some camps are still open and while WASH facilities have been established they require on-going management at these locations. Early Recovery Activities

HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE IN SINDH H umanitarian R esponse in S indh Provision Equitable and sustainable access to safe water used for domestic purposes including, drinking, cooking, cleaning and other domestic uses will remain a priority objective for WASH cluster during the early recovery phase. Sanitation is one of the basic necessities which contribute to human dignity and quality of life. Sanitation intervention during the early recovery phase will aim at achieving cleanliness, hygiene, collection and environment friendly disposal of liquid and solid waste in the flood affected areas in the Southern Sindh. WASH Cluster strategy treats hygiene promotion as an integral part of water and sanitation service provision, without which the water and sanitation infrastructure is not sufficient to achieve the health related WASH objectives. Hygiene promotion is therefore is a priority intervention in the early recovery phase. Early Recovery Activities
