HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN SOUTHERN PHILIPPINES AS VIOLENCE UPROOTS TENS
OF THOUSANDS – UNNew York, Sep 25 2013 10:00AMThe situation in
Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines is now a humanitarian
crisis, as tens of thousands of people remain forcibly displaced, the
United Nations said today, calling for support to the victims of the
recent wave of violence in the country.

"We are increasingly alarmed by the situation and the growing needs of
people caught up with violence," said the UN Resident and Humanitarian
Coordinator in the Philippines, Luiza Carvalho. "We are particularly
concerned for the most vulnerable, especially the well-being of women
and children."

Earlier this month, armed clashes erupted between Government forces
and non-State actors in Zamboanga City. Some 132 people have died as a
result of the standoff and the UN Office for the Coordination of
Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) estimates that some 158,000 people have
been affected by the violence and more than 10,000 homes have been
destroyed. In addition, over 109,000 people are now displaced in
Zamboanga City and nearly 19,000 are displaced in the Basilan
province.

Ms. Carvalho expressed concern over the plight of those displaced,
many of whom are struggling to survive. Some 70,000 people are
currently staying in the main sports complex in Zamboanga City in
overcrowded conditions and insufficient sanitation facilities. OCHA
warned there is a real risk of a disease outbreak and an urgent need
for food, drinking water, health services, cooking utensils, tents and
other necessities.

"We are particularly concerned that aid is delivered in an impartial
manner, with the needs of the most vulnerable met and those outside
the evacuation centres not forgotten," Ms. Carvalho said.

"We expect that all humanitarian workers providing support to the
victims of violence are protected and respected, and their safety is
ensured by all actors."

She also reiterated OCHA's commitment to the humanitarian response as
well as its support for Government efforts to respond and provide
assistance to civilians.Sep 25 2013 10:00AM
