For 2013, United Nations
Children Fund has planned to continue supporting humanitarian support in
Pakistan in coordination with the government, other UN agencies and
non-governmental organizations in order to respond to the needs of the millions
of children and women affected by lack of confidence and floods.
According to UNICEF’s
Humanitarian Action for Children, 2013, the organization will deliver an
integrated package of maternal, newborn and child health and nutrition services
at the community level.
All through the current year, UNICEF
is to provide water, sanitation and hygiene services to 1.5 million people in
the affected areas, to make sure the supply of lifesaving drinking water and
reduce the risk of water-related diseases throughout hygiene promotion.
In addition, as
Pakistan is prone to recurrent natural disasters, emergency preparedness
activities and response in 2013 will be of supreme importance, and must
include efforts to strengthen pliability though national
capacity development and attentiveness.
