Complex Emergency |
Pakistan |
As of 29 August, over 570,482 Afghans are estimated to have been internally displaced since the start of the year (2021) out of which 80 percent are women and children. These circumstances have resulted in an increase in humanitarian needs and assistance to the internally displaced population and initialized a new wave of displaced people fleeing to neighbouring countries (primarily Pakistan and Iran) to seek refuge and safety. With the situation evolving rapidly and remaining uncertain, UNHCR predicts over 515,000 additional people to flee across the borders as displaced refugees.
According to local media sources, Afghans seeking safe refuge from Taliban rule poured in from all corners of the country to form jostling queues at the doorstep of neighbouring Pakistan, with which Afghanistan shares its longest border. Afghans nationals have already started arriving in Pakistan via the shared border across the Durand line covering 2,670 kilometres. Traffic at the border crossing at Chaman in Pakistan has also risen four-fold with as many as 20,000 entering the country each day. |

Drought |
Tuvalu |
The national EARWatch, suggests the climate outlook for next three months is forecasting normal rainfall, however the regional RCRC EARWatch indicates Tuvalu is in ‘Dry Warning’ as rainfall for the last three months is in the lowest 25% of the historical record. The likelihood of proceeding to seriously or severely dry conditions in the coming months is increased and suggests preparedness and early actions are advisable given the past and future seasonal data. Tuvalu’s reliability almost solely on rainwater for consumption indicates that continued monitoring and data collection would be of high value, as the situation can deteriorate rapidly.
From Tuvalu Met Services EARWatch: ‘During the month of June, Nanumea, Funafuti and Niulakita was at drought, Nui was at drought warning. Tuvalu National Drought Committee (DC) was activated on 5 July and outcome was to meet weekly to provide updates on both thresholds (rainfall received, government water reserves). |

Drought |
Iraq |
Iraq is frequently at odds with regional neighbours over water issues. The country depends on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for nearly all of its water. Millions of Iraqis face an intolerably harsh summer, which is causing alarm and creating major water shortages in the country. The rivers, which account for more than 90 per cent of Iraq’s freshwater, were at historically low levels due to a lack of winter rainfall in the region and snowmelt, primarily in the mountains of southern Turkey, which feeds into the rivers. |
