gave t-shirt for adults. Maranao residents from Manila donated hijabs and other culturesensitive apparels. Clothes provide to the IDPs were also segregated, for adults and children. IDPs were staying in various shelters (e.g. tents, barangay halls, gyms, school buildings and corridors). Various beddings were also visible (e.g. foldable plastic beds, banig or rattan mats, and cartons) Right to Shelter The tents were provided by DSWD. There were allotted rooms used as Muslim prayer rooms, spaces for women and children. Right to Work There were planned incomegenerating activity mentioned at the ICS meeting. Majority of the ECs have health care facilities run by DOH and DOH-ARMM. Usually under 24/7 operations. Barangay health clinics are also in operation. Right To HealthCare The centers and clinics have enough medicines There were Doctors and Nurses onsite. Number of ECs were very crowded. Allocation of beddings were arbitrarily given, not all ECs were provided with beddings. Some shelters were experiencing flooding; some roofs have big gaping holes; and walls needs insulators to protect the IDPs with changing weather. Two to three families are staying per tent, where privacy is a common problem. Some shelters were inside a campus area. On-going classes were held while IDPs were sleeping at the corridors. There is a need for cash-for-work activity for IDPs. One out of six ECs do not have an on-site clinic or near hospital. There were not a lot of psychologists or medical experts addressing psychological health. Basic necessities or supply (e.g. chamber pot, wheelchair, kettle, and thermos for hot water) for PWDs or CWDs were not addressed. P ROTECTION FROM A RBITRARY D ISPLACEMENTS Based on assessments culled by the IDP general and government cluster teams during the mission, there were no dialogues, information dissemination, and/or efforts to prevent or avoid conditions leading to displacements. As the onset of the armed conflict was abrupt and unexpected, many IDPs were forced to leave their habitual residence – specially those within or near ground zero. For those who are far from ground zero, most IDPs evacuated after three (3) days at the start of the conflict. Some thought that the numerous gunfire was rido (clan feud) related, therefore some chose to stay and waited to let the conflict subside; but they were proven wrong. According to the informants there were no disaster preparedness plan publicized by the LGUs. Also, the informants have no knowledge of any installation of warning devices or mechanisms set in place in case of disaster. The assessment also shows that (1) the perpetuated criminal offenses and other unlawful acts of violence, (2) direct destruction of property and material possessions, (3) and gross negligence and willful violation of the rights of the IDPs were some of the reasons that forced individuals and communities to evacuate and be displaced. Lastly, there were no consultations made to secure a free and informed consent to the community due to the rapid-onset of the disaster. 23
