UNICEF issues Yushu Earthquake One Year Report
One year ago, a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Yushu Tibetan Autonomous County in northwest China's Qinghai Province. In the year since the earthquake, UNICEF support has helped to save lives, restore hope and create opportunities for emergency-affected children and women.
Immediately after the earthquake, UNICEF's support focused on responding to the emergency needs of children and women and protecting the lives of survivors, who were vulnerable to cold, hunger and psychological distress. UNICEF rushed warm clothing, wool blankets, medical equipment, hygiene kits and winterized school tents to the emergency zone.
In the ongoing recovery and reconstruction phase, UNICEF has helped students return to safe classroom environments with quality learning materials, established Child Friendly Spaces to provide community-based protection and psychosocial support services, supported the reestablishment of maternal and child health services, and improved hygiene and sanitation conditions in schools and communities.
Highlights of the UNICEF response include:
? 25,000 children provided with warm winter clothing, including jackets, pants and boots
? 7,500 schoolchildren provided with classroom tents 12 days after earthquake
? 5,000 children provided with psychosocial support and a safe environment in which to recover
?? through the establishment of four Child Friendly Spaces
? 4,500 schoolchildren provided with prefabricated classrooms in the medium-term response, to be used until new school buildings are constructed
? 21,500 schoolchildren provided with educational and recreational materials, including student
?? kits, Chinese and Tibetan language library kits and sports kits
? 5,000 children vaccinated through the UNICEF-supported emergency vaccination campaign
? Medical equipment provided to support the reestablishment of maternal and child health services, covering a population of 100,000
? 600 babies safely delivered with the support of UNICEF-provided medical equipment
? 120,000 people provided with hygiene kits to maintain personal hygiene
? Construction of UNICEF-supported school latrines nearing completion, benefiting 14,500 students
? Increased capacity to provide community-based child services and social work among Child
? Friendly Space staff
To date, UNICEF has provided US$ 4.3 million dollars for earthquake relief and recovery. This assistance was made possible through the generous support of donors, including the Hong Kong Committee for UNICEF, the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA), the Japan Committee for UNICEF, the US Fund for UNICEF, and others.
Much work remains to be done. As massive reconstruction kicks off with the one year? anniversary, and the government begins to rebuild schools, homes, hospitals and other public service facilities, UNICEF will continue to reach out to the? most vulnerable populations, support local capacity-building, and work to enhance the quality of services for children and women.
About UNICEF in China
UNICEF first assisted China between 1947 and 1951, providing emergency services, food and nutrition, health and hygiene training during and after the war of liberation. In 1979 UNICEF officially commenced its cooperation with the Government of China to support child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is on the ground in over 150 countries and territories to help children survive and thrive, from early childhood through adolescence.?
