Report as of 22 November 2013, 1700 hrs, Issue No. 7 PROTECTION ASSESSMENT: Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)

HIGHLIGHTS • Access to the island barangays of Homonhon and Suluan in Guian Municipality remains difficult. Distribution of

assistance could only be done through airlift. • In Marabut Municipality, approximately 50 Mamanwa families have not been registered and receiving food

distributions on a consistent basis. Other indigenous communities in the municipalities such as, sitios of km22, 11, 15, and 26 of Barangay Tinabanan have received limited assistance. Remote location of these indigenous communities hampers regular goods distribution to these communities.

• IDPs living in evacuation centers are sharing small spaces and there is no privacy. Tensions are on the rise. The situation is compounded with the lack of water supply, lack of functioning bathing facilities, and lack of sanitation.

• Local government unit in Guian has limited understanding on gender-based violence and child protection. Capacity building is needed.

• Local government of Salcedo Municipality expressed the need for roofing materials for school repair so that classes will resume.

• In Salcedo Municipality, there are 36 unaccompanied and separated children. • Power remains cut off in some parts of Regions IV-B, V, VI, VII, and VIII. This lack of electricity/lighting increases

protection risk among IDPs both in evacuation centers and house-based. Women and children are particularly at risk in the nights.

PROTECTION ISSUES PROTECTION RESPONSE/S Destroyed infrastructure creating severe protection problems • Electricity has still not been restored in most parts of

Region VIII. IDPs need lighting source urgently. The lack of electricity, especially in the evening and night is creating more risks for families, and especially women and children who are at greater risk of gender based violence, both inside and outside evacuation centres.

• Uprooted trees, broken glasses, damaged dwellings and other remains of the typhoon still pose physical risk to IDPs.

• Some of the IDPs prefer to stay at their partially damaged houses rather than in evacuation centers. Others have put up makeshift tents out of salvaged

Report as of 22 November 2013, 1700 hrs, Issue No. 7 PROTECTION ASSESSMENT: Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)

BACKGROUND Considered as the strongest typhoon to hit the Philippines in many years, Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Yolanda) made six landfalls on 7 November affecting more than 6.9 million people. As of 22 November, a total of 4.3M persons have been displaced. Power and communication lines were down in majority of the areas in Visayas. Strong winds resulted to storm surge resulting to flooding in coastal communities. On 8 November, a total of 22 areas were placed under Signal No. 4 while 12 areas were placed under Signal No. 3. Some local government units have declared a state of calamity. Protection Cluster In the Philippines, the protection cluster has been established by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC) Circular No 5 series of 10 May 2007 (Institutionalizing Cluster Approach in Philippine Disaster System). The cluster approach is part of a global response aimed at providing more timely and consistent help to the internally displaced and other affected people in complex emergencies and disasters. The Protection Cluster in Mindanao meets in Cotabato, Iligan, Davao and other cities on a regular basis. Currently there are over 100 participating agencies including from the Government, State, Civil Society, national and international NGOs and agencies, as well as the United Nations.
