- Road Access
All main roads in the earthquake affected area are open. However, caution is advised as many roads are at risk of further landslides caused by rains. The coming Monsoon season will exacerbate this risk.
As road conditions are expected to depreciate in the coming months, some organisations, for instance WFP and Premier Urgence, are planning on prepositioning stocks in forward bases. From these bases, goods could be further dispatched by Jeeps, which are able to negotiate roads under difficult circumstances. Suggested sites for forward locating of stocks are contained in the UNJLC Monsoon Logistic Planning Snapshot available at www.unjlc.org/pakistan/infosheets/snapshots - Muzaffarabad IDP Update
A total of 31 villages has been identified to be at risk of landslides and floods during Monsoon season. 22 of these villages are located in the Tehsil of Muzaffarabad and 9 in the Tehsil of Hattian. The Camp Management Organisation (CMO) has announced that a total of approximately 1400 families or 8,500 persons will have to be relocated.
In Tehsil Muzaffarabad, approximately 300 of 1000 families identified to be housed in a high risk zone have already left for existing camps. This leaves a number of 700 families to be relocated.
Relocation is planned to start before the end of this week and to be finished by 1 July. The CMO is due to ensure that all families are informed. Discussions are ongoing between CMO, IOM and UNHCR on the organising of transport for the relocation. UNHCR will continue to support the CMO until at least the end of this year. - UNJLC Ceases Operations
UNJLC will cease operations on 30 June. Field offices in Muzaffarabad, Bagh and Mansehra will close. A presence will be maintained in Islamabad until 31 July.
A Road Atlas of the earthquake affected area which consists of a series of detailed (1:100,000 scale) road maps will be distributed in the second half of July to those authorities and Agencies/NGOs who plan to continue humanitarian operations in the affected area.
UNJLC is also preparing a Logistics Capacity Assessment (LCA) which will be distributed with the Road Atlas.
In line with the phase-out of UNJLC's operations, the last bulletin will be published next week.
