چکیده

Five major disasters in Pakistan affected close to 8 million people from 2005 to 2009. The 2008–09 humanitarian crisis in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) of Pakistan resulted in 2.76 million internally displaced persons (IDPs), of whom 88% were off-camp IDPs hosted by the local population. The service delivery challenges posed by the IDPs, their sparse geographical distribution and phased displacement were managed through a successful health response strategy, which focused on 13 major interventions supplemented by a set of standard guidelines for field implementation. This study evaluates the process and results attained by this coordinated health cluster strategy that has guided the mobilization and implementation of a colossal humanitarian response to an unprecedented crisis in Pakistan’s history. 1World Health Organization, Country Office, Islamabad, Pakistan (Correspondence to K.M.

En 2008-2009, la crise humanitaire qui a touché Khyber Pakhtunkhwa et les zones tribales sous administration fédérale du Pakistan ont fait 2,76 millions de personnes déplacées, dont 88 % se trouvent hors des camps et sont hébergées par la population locale. En termes de prestations de services, les problèmes posés par les personnes déplacées, leur dispersion géographique et leurs déplacements par étapes ont été gérés grâce à une stratégie de riposte sanitaire couronnée de succès, comprenant treize interventions principales et un ensemble de directives standard de mise en œuvre sur le terrain. Cette étude évalue les processus et les résultats obtenus grâce à cette stratégie de groupe Santé coordonnée, qui a guidé la mobilisation et la mise en œuvre d’une impressionnante riposte humanitaire à une crise sans précédent dans l’histoire du Pakistan. طسوتلما قشرل ةيحصلا ةلجلما شرع سداسلا دلجلما فىاضلإا ددعلا
