information to the IDPs. Humanitarian assistance is mostly coming from DSWD Humanitarian assistance is provided by the DSWD and DOH. Those IDPs with or without DAFAC were given food and non-food assistance, scheduled once a week. Resource distributions were unequal in all of the ECs. Resulting to some camps not having enough resources compare to other camps. Humanitarian Assistance The available health assistance comes directly from the barangay health workers. There were medical missions by various I/NGOs Private donors were also sending food and non-food assistance. Security Peaceful CoExistence Camp Administration Security For camps that are near the conflict zone, IDPs are well aware of the necessity of safety and security measures being employed in the EC. There were various systems established for having peaceful coexistence within the camps. Initiatives coming from the IDPs themselves, camp leaders and managers, local government units, up to the highest level of authority – the local police. Some ECs have strict policy implementation for coming in and out of the camp. There were stationed police outside the EC. There were visible government authorities in the camps. There were daily and weekly meetings and updates in the ICS. Information Dissemination Site Planning Most of the camps do not have information on the policy of safety and security inside the camps. There were no systematic pre-emptive programs provide in addressing internal conflicts. Some, camp managers that were interviewed state that they don’t know have knowledge on the protocols if conflict between IDPs arise. There were arbitrary camp implementations and administrations. Some EC do not have assigned police personnel outside. Not all camp managers are aware of the security protocols in the EC. There was unclear chain of commands. Some ECs were well organized and some are not. There was no available referral pathway widely disseminated to the IDPs within the EC. Most of the site planning were conducted by the LGU and DSWD, one site was donated by the barangay chairman. HUMAN RIGHTS ASSESSMENTS: Human Rights Assessments Strengths Gaps & Challenges The food the people have is sufficient and adequate. In quite a number of instances, food was also given to non-DAFAC holders. Due to sudden need to escape the conflict zone, IDPs were not able to bring some food for consumption. Right to Food Most of the food provided were culturally sensitive – some were served in halal. The same amount of food or relief supplies are provided to each family, regardless of the size or number of its members. In some ECs the distribution of food is not regular. 21
