In order to physically verify the damages and collect the data TRDP is conducting an assessment in all the UCs of district Tharparkar and Umerkot. Simultaneously TRDP is registering IDPs at various locations in Tharparkar and Umerkot. The assessment in the villages of Tharparkar is initiated whereas in Umerkot it is delayed due to the great number of IDPS and because 14 UCs of the district are still inaccessible. The assessment is being carried out through TRDPs 13 field unit offices from TRDPs own resources.
So far, 437 villages of 38 UCs have been covered; the data shows that in these villages 122,259 individuals have been affected. The assessment in Tharparkar shows the magnitude of damages from monsoon rains as follows:
