Ultimately, in a wanted pregnancy, the fundamental task of this first stage is the viagra tablets available in bangalore acceptance of the pregnancy (Sandelowski and Black 1993). During this stage, as new and often uncomfortable physical symptoms develop in the expectant mother, ambivalence about the pregnancy is common. Once pregnant and into the postpartum, the woman is faced with increasing information about the fetus, herself, and her husband, and so the internal representations of these individuals evolve (Stern 1993).
Once conception has occurred, there are three distinct psychologic phases that most women pass through during their pregnancies. At approximately 5 1 ⁄ 2 months, the first stage of pregnancy is usually thought to begin when the woman realizes she is pregnant and to last until she experiences quickening. As Morris (1995) pointed out, a familiar scene is that of young girls fighting over who will play the mother in a simple game of "house." Stern (1995), writing from the perspective of an infant psychiatrist, suggested that long before conception occurs, the young girl or woman imagines herself as a mother as well as imagining her infant and child.
When the woman finds a partner, these "representations" and "schemas," as Stern calls them, undergo further elaboration because she now has new information about the child's future father. These stages roughly correspond to the three trimesters of pregnancy and appear to be triggered by various psychologic, biologic, and cultural influences.

"Where there is sorrow, there is holy ground." ~ Oscar Wilde
Is it possible that grief is not just wretched sorrow? If so, to experience anything more than destruction in grief, what is asked of us?
Moving through loss is to not bypass the transformation it has in store for us. But to move through it, we first have to let it in. Once we allow it to settle in us — seeming to occupy every cell of our body — grief leaves us when it's ready. So, in reality, we let grief occupy and move through us, leaving us changed to the degree we allow it to do its work.
At the center of grief is a strange sweetness, the tenderness of what we loved, that has left us now. So afraid we are of feeling wretched pain, we push our sadness away. This is a learned behavior, as we want to protect ourselves from what hurts. We can unlearn it and move counter-intuitively, and wisely, into our longing and heartache.

Multi-sectoral Rapid Assessment Report Rapport Timbuktu d'Êvaluation rapide multisectorielle Emergency Team Leader Pacifique Kigongwe Tombouctou firstname.lastname@example.com Acknowledgements
International Medical Corps' Emergency Response Team would like to thank all the actors that facilitated the collection of information in this rapid assessment. In particular, thank you to the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department, partners and NGOs involved in the Timbuktu region: MSF, Solidarités, Handicap International, AVSF, the ICRC; and investigators who provided data collection at the household level as well as key informants and community volunteers who participated in the focus groups.

Summary In the current crisis in northern Mali, International Medical Corps conducted a multi-sectoral assessment in the Timbuktu region between February 1st and February 4th, 2013, the main points are summarized below:
Health Serious failures of the health system have occurred during the period when the Northern district was controlled by rebel groups, for the following reasons:
The Regional Health Department was looted and health personnel and members of communities health associations (ASACOs) have fled; Disruption of the supply chain for medication, nutritional inputs, and fuel; Disruption of the cold chain; Pillaging of buildings and equipment (ambulances, solar panels)
The access to health services was deeply compromised for the inhabitants of the districts of Timbuktu, Goundam, GourmaRharous, and Niafunké. Three partners support the health services: MSF (since February 2012), Alima (mainly for the district of Diré) and the ICRC. However, they do not cover all the needs, and the access to health care remains a problem for the populations given the distances and difficulty of access.
Recommendations: 1. Support the health centers that are no longer receiving any assistance from the partners in the districts of Timbuktu, Niafunké, Goundam, and Gourma-Rharous: restore the facilities (buildings, WASH equipment); restore the supply chain for medication and nutritional input; restore the cold chain; recruit/reassign qualified personnel; pay the wages of active health employees (who haven't received their wages); train and monitor the employees; 2. Strengthen the ASACOs and reassign the community health workers; 3 ©2013 International Medical Corps
3. Provide mobile policies for the health posts; 4. Restore and replace the equipment at the Regional Directorate of Health; reassign the personnel; Restore the epidemiological surveillance capacities; 5. Restore the epidemiological response capabilities (surveillance, personnel training, inventory prepositioning).
Food Security and Nutrition Malnutrition screening - available in the structures supported by the partners - is not always provided at all the health centers. Care is also available in the centers supported by the partners. Severe malnutrition care is available in the Intensive Nutritional Education and Healing Units (URENIs) at the Reference Health Centers (CSREFs) of Goundam, Niafunké, Diré, and at Timbuktu's hospital, or through mobile teams (thanks to the NGO "Agronomes et Vétérinaires Sans Frontières" (AVSF) at three sites in the towns of Ber and Salam). In the five districts of Timbuktu, the families identified based on vulnerability criteria have received assistance with commodities from several stakeholders (PAM, ICRC, Handicap International, AVSF) during the crisis: the last distributions occurred in December 2012 and other distributions are scheduled in February. The distributions were specifically for children under five years old (Plumpy'Sup for malnutrition prevention for children aged 6 months to 59 months) and pregnant and nursing women.
Recommendations: 1. Plan and implement a nutritional survey in five districts to get a complete picture of the nutritional situation in the district of Timbuktu; 2. Provide the systematic screening of malnutrition at the Community Health Centers (CSCOMs) and at the mobile clinics; 3. Provide moderate malnutrition care at the CSCOMs and URENAS (Severe Ambulatory Nutritional Education and Healing Units); 4. Strengthen the training of personnel and the quality of malnutrition care.
Education During the period when rebel groups controlled the area, all the public schools of the district were closed and some buildings were destroyed or looted. Teachers fled and students accumulated a one

year disruption in their schooling. An urgent intervention is required to restore the school activities in the district of Timbuktu. No outside partner was active in the education sector at the time of the evaluation.
Recommendations: 1. Restore and re-equip the school facilities (buildings, WASH facilities); 2. Reassign teachers and professors; 3. Evaluate the adjusting requirements for the courses, and the need for support and remediation programs for children whose schooling was disrupted.
Protection The Timbuktu district was used as a battle field and explosives and weapons are still hidden in some living areas and on main roads. The populations also endured several types of traumas (physical violence, sexual assaults, enlisting of children in armed forces). Important needs for psycho-social support have been identified during the assessment. No support from partners was identified during the evaluation.
Recommendations: 1. Lead awareness campaigns on explosives and behavior to adopt in the areas that were used as battle fields; 2. Identify the psychosocial support mechanisms at the community level; 3. Train and strengthen the role of key stakeholders in the communities (for example, community health workers); 4. Implement psychosocial support interventions for the victims of violence based on gender, physical assaults, or for the rehabilitation of children soldiers.
Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) This rapid assessment exposed a situation of vulnerability for the inhabitants of Timbuktu in terms of water and sanitation. Improving water and sanitation is vital especially since the Timbuktu region experienced a cholera epidemic between July and September 2011. The health sector partners are able to respond to epidemics in the districts that they cover (Alima, MSF, and SolidaritĂŠs for cholera emergencies).
Recommendations: 1. Diffuse the results of the WASH study conducted by Handicap International in December 2012 (facilities and practices status report);
5 Š2013 International Medical Corps
2. 3. 4. 5.
Restore the destroyed water and sanitation facilities at schools and health centers; Restore the water supply for the city of Timbuktu; Plan and lead hygiene promotion campaigns; Restore the health facilities' ability to respond to cholera emergencies.
Shelters This assessment has identified two specific points:  
The population movements from the outskirt to the center of Timbuktu - families occupying the houses left empty by those who fled the district (displaced, refugees); A phenomenon of looting and destruction during the period of uncertainties in the last weeks.
This situation induces a conflict potential at the local level, including when refugees and displaced individuals will return (rent payment, reclaiming of houses).
Recommendations: 1. Estimate the number of families who left their huts in the outskirts and move them to occupy houses in Timbuktu; 2. Evaluate the potential risks of conflicts and establish an intelligence system; 3. Accompany the local authorities and the crisis management unit in case of disputes regarding housing and property disputes.

Introduction On January 10, 2013, the armed groups in control of the North of Mali moved towards the south to conquer the strategic town of Konna. In response to the appeal by the Malian President, the French army has been intervening since January 11, 2013 (Operation Serval). Using air support from the French Army, the Malian army were able to regain Konna. Following the French Intervention, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) began to deploy troops consisting of soldiers from Senegal, Niger, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. Chad equally participated in the operation. The intervention was initially designed to stop the progression of the armed groups to the south past Mopti, the de facto border between the north, under the control of the Islamists, and the south, controlled by the Malian governmental authorities. The Interim president of Mali, Dioncounda Traore, declared a state of emergency across the whole country on January 11 and called for a "general mobilization" to defend against the progress of the radical Islamists. On January 16, ECOWAS regrouped at Bamako to start discussions to speed up the deployment of the International Mission for Mali Assistance (MISMA), the force authorized under resolution 2085 to support the Malian authorities. On January 18, the Malian army regained control of Konna and Diabaly. Certain neighboring countries of Mali have taken precautionary measures – including closing or reinforcing the borders with Algeria and Niger. The city of Timbuktu, following 10 months under the control of the Islamists was regained on January 28, 2013. The period under the control of Islamists was marked by disruption of public services (schools were closed, difficulty in maintaining minimal health services), the imposition of strict interpretation of Sharia Law by the fundamentalists (executions, amputations, wearing of the hijab/veil, banning of music), the recruitment of child soldiers, the reinforcement of ethnic tensions (Bambaras versus the Arabs/Touaregs). The region of Timbuktu, an area of 497,926 KM2, represents 40% of the national territory and is the biggest region in Mali. It is divided into 5 districts: Timbuktu, Goundam, Gourma, Rharous, Niafunké and Diré. The main ethnicities are the Sonrhais (35%), the Tamasheq and Arabs (30%), the Peulhs (20%) and the Bambaras (15%). The main industries are agriculture, herding, fishing, trade and craft. It is difficult to estimate the number of current inhabitants at the time of the evaluation due to the number of the displaced population, and the nomadic lifestyles of certain groups who are only occasionally in town. Some of outlying households are also inhabitants of Timbuktu city. The key informants interviewed during the evaluation estimated that the number of inhabitants of Timbuktu city is 60,000, and that 20% of the population (12,000 people) has left the area.

Methodology Internation Medical Corps' Emergency Response Team lead a multi-sectoral rapid assessment in Timbuktu between February 1 and February 4, 2013. The information was collected using qualitative and quantitative methods. The qualitative data was collected through: - Focus groups with key informers from Timbuktu: one group of men composed of nine individuals and one group of women composed of five individuals, took part in these discussions1 - A focus group with the community health workers from Ballafarandi (Timbuktu district) - The visit of 4 CSCOM2, 1 CSREF, and the Regional Hostipal of Timbuktu, - The meeting with partners operating in Timbuktu such as MSF, Handicap International - Phone conversations with Alima, Solidarité, ICRC, AVSF. The information collected in the health sector also came from a study lea by Dr. Ibrahim Maïga3, the only representative of Timbuku's Regional Health Administration who remained on site. The quantitative data come from a study of 120 households, organized by the International Medical Corps' team. The information was gathered in 9 neighborhoods in Timbuktu: Djingareiber, Sareïkeina, Hamabargou, Abaradjou, Badjinde, Bellafarandi, Koyerataywa, Kabara, Sankore. Based on the questionnaire developed by OCHA4, International Medical Corps' team developed a questionnaire covering the following sectors: health, nutrition, food security, protection, WASH and shelters. A MidUpper Arm Circumference (MUAC) screening of children aged under 5 was also performed within the families interviewed. Twelve team members (9 men and 3 women), speaking French and Sonrhaï, were recruited to gather the information and were trained on the questionnaire and the use of the MUAC tape. The data collection was executed on Sunday, February 3rd, and Monday, February 4th, 2013. The data analysis was executed under "Numbers" (Mac OS X). Limitations: The quantitative data collected does not provide an overview of the situation outside of the city of Timbuktu. However, the geographical and service access conditions make it more difficult to access this service in the outskirts. International Medical Corps' team was not able to interview key informants residing outside of Timbuktu. 1
See annex for the list of focus groups participants The CSCOM that were visited are: Bellafarandi, Kabaya, Toya, Houndobomo Koina 3 The Acting Head of the Regional Health Department was present throughout the crisis in Timbuktu and followed the situation and gathered information on the status of the sanitary system in the Northern districts. The hereby report is based on several data shared by the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department. 4 International Medical Corps' team carried out two studies (in Konna and Duentza) using the information collection tool offered by OCHA. Based on these experiences, the tool was revised to adjust the collection of data. See annex for the questionnaire used during the study. 2

Health Sector Key Stakeholders: Acting Head of the Regional Health Department, MSF, Alima. Active Partners: MSF, Alima, ICRC Timbuktu's area is divided into 5 health districts: Timbuktu, Diré, Niafunké, Goundam, and Gourma-Rharous. The area possesses a regional hospital in Timbuktu, 5 CSREFs and 94 CSCOMs5. Diré's district is completely supported by Alima (16 CSCOMs and 1 CSREF). The resumption of armed conflict did not cause an influx of the wounded: since mid-January 2013, MSF counted about forty wounded at the Regional Hospital of Timbuktu6. However, the regional health system was deeply and negatively affected by:
The fleeing of health personnel, of ASACO members, and of community health workers; The disruption of supply chains of medication and vaccines; The destruction of facilities; The looting of material resources and equipment;
The collection of epidemiological data was scarce during the period of crisis, and the information remain incomplete throughout the area. However, the main reasons for medical consultation remain: malaria, severe respiratory infections, and diarrhea. Over the year 2012, a peak of malaria was observed in the district of Diré in December 2012, and an epidemic of measles occurred in May 2012, for which a vaccination campaign was organized. Regional Health Administration Status The Regional Health Administration is not functional: buildings were pillaged, and the key personnel, including the regional health director, left town. Dr. Maïga temporarily replaced the Health Administration during the crsis.
Recommendations: 1. Restore and re-equip the Regional Health Administration, reassign the personnel; 2. Redistribute the capabilities in terms of epidemiological surveillance and epidemics and natural disasters response.

Basic services remain available thanks to the support of different NGOs (MSF, Alima) and of the ICRC, as well as within some structures thanks to the health structures' personnel who did not leave the town. However, the coverage is insufficient and access to health care remains difficult, mainly for the populations living outside of the city of Timbuktu. Mobile clinics are provided by Alima and MSF: although appreciated by their users, they nevertheless remain insufficient. The key informers report the absence of epidemiological response capacity (cholera7, malaria8) in public structures. Only MSF and Alima can respond in the areas they cover, and Solidarités for cholera emergencies in the district of Gourma-Rharous9. The fleeing of the personnel trained to epidemiological surveillance also weakened the system. Inventory shortages of medication and vaccines vary from one structure to the other. Timbuktu's Regional Hospital status MSF has supported Timbuktu's regional hospital since February 2012 where: outpatient consultations, pediatrics, surgery, emergency services are available. However, specialty services are not available. Hospital capacity is 80 beds. MSF's team is composed of 7 expatriates (regional). Over the last year, the hospital registered 50,000 outpatients, 1,600 hospitalized patients, and 400 surgeries. CSREF Status MSF supports 2 CSREFs: Niafunké's CSREF on URENI activities and pediatrics hospitalizations, and Gourma-Rharous' CSREF (but only on CSCOM-level activities). Timbuktu's CSREF is not functional. The building is new, but hasn't been delivered formally. Consequently, no activities have been implemented yet. CSREF-level activities are provided at the Regional Hospital supported by MSF. Alima supports Goundam's and Diré's CSREF, including URENI activities on these two sites. The cold chain is functional for the CSREFs. CSCOM Status Information gathered show a critical situation for the CSCOMs, which cannot operate at full capacity without the support from external partners due to issues identified above. According to information collected by the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department, the absence of health professionals10 is a critical issue. The data below show the status of districts of Timbuktu, Niafunké, Goundam, and Gourma-Rharous only (Diré's district being covered by Alima).
The last cholera epidemic stroke in 5 regions in Mali: Mopti, Timbuktu, Gao, Kayes, and Ségou between July and September 2011. A total of 1,308 cases and 57 deaths were reported overall. In Timbuktu, 413 cases and 20 deaths were reported 8 In December 2012, a peak of malaria was confirmed in the district of Diré, and the response was provided through the NGO Alima in partnership with the National Health Administration, WHO, and Unicef. 9 Solidarités has a response capacity to cholera emergencies in the cistrict of Gourma-Rharous, with two pinasse boats equipped with water treatment stations 10 See annex for the types of qualified personnel on site providing services.

Outside of sites supported by external partners, the cold chain could not be preserved in most of CSCOMs. In Niafunké, at least 9 CSCOMs11 had to stop their EPI (Expanded Program on Immunization) activity because the cold chain was broken by fuel shortage since April 2012. In Goundam, all CSCOMs without external support have also the vaccination activities due to fuel shortage.
Mobile clinics MSF organizes a support by mobile clinics within the CSCOMs of Doro, Gossi, and Elkat since October 2012. However, since January 10th, 2013, the activities have been interrupted due to the security and access conditions. These activities will resume as soon as possible. Alima operates 5 mobile clinics n the district of Goundam, once a week, at 4 health care posts (Fatankara, Hangabera, Bougoumera, Tondigame) and 1 CSCOM (Douekhire). AVSF supports three health care posts in the communities of Ber and Salam through mobile intervention. In the district of Diré, the cold chain is preserved thanks to the support from Alima. In annex of this report, the health structures needs are based on the internal evaluation conducted by the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department as well as visits of the health centers executed by International Medical Corps.
Recommendations: 1.
2. 3.
Support the CSREFs and CSCOMs which currently receive no support from partners in the districts of Timbuktu, Niafunké, Goundam, and Gourma-Rharous; restore the facilities (buildings, WASH equipment); restore the supply chain for medication and nutritional input; restore the cold chain; recruit/reassign qualified personnel; pay the wages of active health personnel (who haven't received their wages); train and monitor personnel; Strengthen the ASACOs and reassign the community health workers; Enforce mobile policies at the health care posts.
State of Community-Based Interventions Community health associations (ASACOs) The ASACOs are in charge of managing the CSCOMs. The Ministry of Health provides the initial equipment and supply in medication and basic medical equipment, and provides the training and monitoring of health professionals. The ASACOs are in charge of recruiting the personnel and managing the funds provided by CSCOMs for the payment of the wages of CSCOM's teams, of renewing the inventory of medications and medical equipment, and maintaining the health center. The ASACOs provide the day-to-day management of the CSCOMs, as well as the recruitment and monitoring of community health workers.
The CSCOMs quoted in the Regional Health Department report are: Aradébé, Nounou, Gayé Maoundé, Konkobougou, N'Gorkou, Koumaïra, Sumpi, Attara, and Dofana.

The ASASCOs are officially set up, but several members fled from towns, and they are currently dysfunctional. Meetings are not regularly scheduled, and only small activities are maintained. It is critical to consider that these dysfunctions occurred prior to the crisis situation. The household survey shows that the ASACOs members are not known by most of the households. When asked "What do you do if you discover an issue at the health center", only 11 persons (9% of surveyed individuals) answer that they report to the ASASCOs or discuss it with ASASCOs members or the NGOs supporting the health structure.
Do you know the members of the ASASCO? 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 Yes
Individuals surveyed
Some ASASCOs continue to manage the services in most of health structures in which users pay. These user contributions are considered critical for the operation of the CSCOMs, although they have an impact on the access to health care in a context of limited access to financial resources for the populations. The information extracted from focus groups has actually shown that households still have important financial difficulties due to the rise of unemployment and slow-down of commercial and handicraft activities. Some complementary health systems or health area subscription systems are in place at some centers. For example, the cost of a subscriber card covering 5 family members is FCFA 1,000 at the CSCOM of Ballafarandi. This subscription gives access to health care at a cost of FCFA 250 (valid for 5 individuals per subscriber). Non-subscribers pay the medical consultation FCFA 500. If some structures organize the community health workers per association (example of Bellafarandi's RC association), the activities within the communities are minimal due to the fleeing of community health workers and shortage of material supplies (for example: inventory shortage of contraceptives). However, the community health workers received a financial compensation partly thanks to the sale of these products. The remaining community health workers guarantee that they can provide a minimal activity in the sectors of pre-natal and post-natal consultations, sanitation, water treatment (promotion of Aquatab), malaria prevention (promotion of the use of mosquito nets), information and awareness campaigns regarding HIV. They also provide the referencing of pregnant women and children to the CSCOMs for the vaccination and monitoring of the children.
13 Š2013 International Medical Corps
The main issues voiced by the community health workers are the inventory shortage of contraceptives, isolation of the families, the reluctance of some men regarding their messages, the lack of sanitation material (shovels, rakes). They also expressed their worries regarding the return of refugees, representing a potential increase of the numbers of families to cover, in a context of limited resources. The community health workers also mentioned that they need continuous training on psycho-social assistance in preparation of the role that they will play during this period of crisis.
Recommendations: 1. Strengthen the Community Health Associations (ASACOs) and reassign the community health workers; 2. Provide training to the community health workers on psycho-social support; 3. Equip the community posts with material for the promotion of hygiene and sanitation. References The community health workers and the Acting Head of the Regional Health Department highlighted the difficulties in referring their patients: Timbuktu's CSREF ambulance is out of service due to engine failure. In 2011, Handicap International gave pinasse boats and ambulances to the CSCOMs located on the river in the districts of Timbuktu and Gourma-Rharous. Two ambulances are available and operational in the CSREF of Goundam and DirĂŠ, as well as two pinasse boats supplying the CSCOMs located by the river.
Recommendations: 1. Establish the status of the operational ambulances/pinasse boats 2. Support the costs of repair of the non operational ambulances Household status (results of the household survey) The results of the household survey in the city of Timbuktu are analyzed below. Again, it is critical to remember that the key informers insisted on the existence of real differences between the city of Timbuktu and the outskirts, the latter suffering from great difficulty of access to health services because of the distances. Seventy-nine percent of the households surveyed (95 individuals) declare that they required health services over the last year, for themselves or for a family member. Eighty per cent of the households surveyed prefer using CSCOMs' services and Timbuktu's Regional hospital.
14 Š2013 International Medical Corps
User choice regarding health care access 7%
Not Known
Among the households using CSCOMs and the hospital, 87% of households (76 individuals) declare that they had access to free health care and medication and 83% of the households (72 individuals) declare that they are satisfied with the quality of the health care. Twenty-nine percent of the individuals surveyed (35 individuals) declare that women do not feel safe going to the CSCOM or to the hospital. Eighty-five per cent of the individuals surveyed (102 individuals) declare that the children possess a vaccination card. Seventy-four per cent of the individuals surveyed (86 individuals) declared that they slept under a mosquito net, and 63% (74 individuals) declared that they were informed about HIV.
Conclusion The health system in the district of Timbuktu is going through serious difficulties with the crisis situation. The qualified personnel is absent in 52 out of 78 CSCOMs in the districts of Timbuktu, Niafunké, Gourma-Rharous, and Goundam. The ASACOs are dysfunctional; the policies established are interrupted; the cold chain is broken at many sites and the minimum activity package cannot be delivered to all the sites. The CSCOMs also face inventory shortages of critical medication due to the disruption of the supply chain. Some buildings were pillaged and require restoration work. Over the year 2012, several alerts were triggered (malaria in Diré in December 2012, measles in May 2012): the health system's response capacities are inexistent outside of the teams supported by the partners. Despite this support and the implementation of mobile strategies, the response capacity remain insufficient to cover the whole district and to ensure health care access to the populations of the district of Timbuktu.

WASH Sector: Key Stakeholders: Handicap international, Solidarités, AVSF Active Partners: Handicap International in the district of Gourma-Rharous, Solidarités in the district of Diré, Goundam and Niafunké The discussions started with the key informers (men and women) and the household study made it possible to identify the main sources of supply of drinkable water: drinking water conveyance system for 84% of individuals surveyed, handpumps (4% of surveyed households), surface water (river) for 3% of surveyed individuals, and water sellers (3% of surveyed individuals). Two per cent of the individuals surveyed declare that they buy water bottles for their own consumption. Eighty-six percent of the individuals surveyed declare that they do not treat the water because it is already treated at the source of the conveyance system (chlorine). The individuals using water from the river declare that they treat their water before consumption, by boiling it. The female key informers participating to the focus group highlighted that handpumps are usually out of service because of maintenance problems prior to the crisis. The two groups acknowledged that the quantity of water per household is insufficient due to the shortage of fuel to feed the pumping station. Electricity comes 4 hours per day and water is available from 8am to 4pm everyday in the city of Timbuktu. Both groups declared that the households have water storage capacities, which remain insufficient. This was confirmed by the household study showing that 93% of the surveyed individuals (111 individuals) declared that they had storage recipients (buckets, pots, containers). The schools, markets, and health centers are equipped with latrines but they are not in good condition according to the focus groups. For the households, the groups of key informers guaranteed that there was a good cover of latrines in the city of Timbuktu and the quantitative data of the household survey confirm that 81% of the surveyed individuals have latrines at home. The key informers estimate that the situation is different in the outskirts. Sixty-nine percent of the individuals surveyed (83 individuals) in the city of Timbuktu declare that they wash their hands with soap, and among them, 65% (54 individuals) declare that they wash their hands more than three times a day. In the outskirts, the use of soap remains scarce due to its cost, and the latrine coverage at the family level remains an issue. Women also expressed needs in terms of sanitation and waste water management inside the city of Timbuktu, where there is no sewing and waste management system. At the time of the evaluation, Handicap International has implemented hygiene promotional activities and distribution of hygiene kits (Aquatab, soap, cans) at the health areas of Gourma-Rharous that are also endemic areas for cholera. Handicap International also conducted an evaluation of the WASH facilities at the community, school, health center level, and a household study on WASH practices in December 2012, whose results will be distributed and shared by the end of February with the WASH cluster. In the districts of Diré, Goundam, and Niafunké, Solidarité works on the restoration of WASH facilities in the health centers where Alima operates, on waste management, on hygiene promotion, and on training of community health workers. A diagnostic is also pending in the districts of Diré and Niafunké.

Solidarités plans to extend this WASH intervention to 5 new CSCOMs of the district of Goundam with WASH activities and training, as well as to the MSF intervention sites in the districts of Niafunké and to 3 CSCOMs in Timbuktu. AVSF is active in the communities of Der and Salam in northern Timbuktu through mobile teams for the distribution of family hygiene kits (Aquatab, soap) to families with kids suffering from severe malnutrition, and of NFI to displaced families. AVSF also works on wells and drilling projects (16 sites).
Conclusion: The data collected highlight a situation of vulnerability regarding the water supply and hygiene practices. The city of Timbuktu, which is supplied mainly by a drinkable water conveyance system, is going through a limited supply of water between 8am and 4pm only. This vulnerability is judged more important by the key informers for the areas outside of the city of Timbuktu. The data provided by Handicap International will give a complete picture of the situation in the district regarding the facilities and practices.
Recommendations 1. Diffuse the results of the study conducted by Handicap International in December 2012 (status of the facilities and practices); 2. Restore the destroyed water and sanitation facilities at schools and health centers; 3. Restore the water supply for the city of Timbuktu; 4. Plan and lead hygiene promotion campaigns; 5. Restore the health facilities' ability to respond to cholera emergencies.

Food Security and Nutrition Sector Key Stakeholders : Acting Head of the Regional Health Department, MSF, Alima, Handicap International, ICRC Mopti, AVSF, Solidarités. Active Partners: MSF, Alima, ICRC / Red Cross Mali, PAM, Handicap International, AVSF, Solidarités The information collected from the groupes of male and female key informers and the household study are similar and show the difficulties of the families to find foodstuffs on the markets. Fifty-eight percent of the surveyed individuals (70 individuals) declare that the quantity of foodstuffs on the market is not enough. The main limitations identified are described in the following diagram:

The key informers highlighted that massive purchases of foodstuffs by rebel groups and limited road access caused disruption of the supply chain. Eighty-three percent of the individuals surveyed (99 individuals) declare that they have difficulties to feed their family due to a lack of resources (47%), high prices (27%), low-level of family inventories (15%), lack of access to the market (10%), and lack of kitchen utensils (1%). Sixty-one percent of the surveyed individuals (73 individuals) declare that they own a family inventory of foodstuffs. Sixty-four percent of the families owning an inventory estimate that their family reserves can feed the household for a few days, 21% for a few weeks, and 15% for a few months.
Estimated Duration of Family Food Stocks 60 40 20 0 Days
Number of Households with Family Food Stocks
The key informants surveyed mentioned that the price of basic foodstuffs has increased over the last year, including that of millet, which became very expensive. The survey revealed that 34% of the households rely on purchases, 14% on their own production, and 14% on family donations.

The households in Timbuktu received food support from ICRC/Red Cross Mali: two food distributions were organized last year, the last in November 2012. The families received rice, oil, millet, beans, and small peas. The key informers also declared that the use of credits and loans were more and more common due to the lack of resources of the households. The surveyors also screened children using the MUAC tape. Three hundred and fourteen children were screened. The two children suffering from severe acute malnutrition and the 18 children suffering from moderate acute malnutrition were referred to the health center to receive appropriate care. MSF and Alima provide health care to malnutrition cases referred to the centers they support. Moderate acute malnutrition care is provided at the CSCOM level (URENAS) and severe acute malnutrition at the CSREF level (URENI). Alima also provides malnutrition screening and health care at two health posts in Goundam: Zouera and N'bounan. Handicap International operates in the districts of Gourma-Rharous and Timbuktu. They provide malnutrition screening at the community level, referring to the appropriate centers supported by MSF for adapted treatment, and organize food distributions based on vulnerability criteria (25% of the population in the district of Timbuktu). The latest distribution of Plumpy'Sup for children from 6 to 59 months was organized at the end of December 2012, together with a distribution of general food for pregnant women. The next distribution was scheduled for the months of January and February, but it was canceled for security reasons. It was rescheduled for the week of February 17th for the district of Timbuktu, subject to the stability of the security conditions. Handicap International also has a support program for agricultural inputs and fuel, and provides advice and support to the owners of small arable surfaces. ICRC and PAM organized food distributions for all the 5 districts of Timbuktu. The latest distribution dates back to December 2012, and the next one is scheduled for March 2013. The products distributed are: rice, semolina (for some communities depending on their food habits), beans, oil, and salt. ICRC also organized the distribution of seeds to vulnerable families in the district of Timbuktu and has a breading program in the northern districts (cattle feeding, vaccination, and livestock wells). AVSF works in the livestock areas of the northern districts of Timbuktu and provides screening of the severe and moderate malnutrition cases through mobile teams, as well as health care at 3 health outposts: 2 health posts in Ber and one in Salam. AVSF provides direct on site health care since the populations (of Moorish and Tuareg origin) refuse to move to Timbuktu. To date, the activities have been interrupted for security reasons, among others. The mobile teams are composed of personnel of Tuareg and Bambara origin. The Bambaras refuse to go to the livestock areas, and the Tuaregs refuse to go to Timbuktu. A new team is being constituted for the activities to resume. AVSF organized a food distribution based on vulnerability criteria (very poor families with displaced individuals) at the end of December 2012, with a donation covering a period of two to three months. They are planning another distribution for the month of May 2013, for a period covering three months. Solidarités and PAM plan food distributions in the district of Diré in the towns of Diré, Dengha, Garbakoira, Tienkour, Haibongo, Binga, Sareyamou, and Tindirma, starting on the week of February 17th, 2013. Five thousand and one hundred and forty-five households (5,145) will benefit from this
20 ©2013 International Medical Corps
distribution (PAM ration: cereals, oil, legumes, salt, and super-cereals), and 1,286 pregnant and lactacting women will benefit from a general food distribution (oil and super-cereals). Finally, 4,630 children aged from 6 to 59 months will receive Plumpy'Sup for malnutrition prevention (1/2 pack per day per child).
Conclusion: The families and key informers highlighted their difficulties to guarantee the food consumption of their family due to the disruption of the supply chain, shortage of some foodstuffs, and also lack of resources. During the crisis, vulnerable families from the 5 districts of Timbuktu received food support from several stakeholders: PAM, ICRC/Red-Cross Mali, Handicap International. The latest distribution dates back to December 2012, and other distributions are scheduled for the weeks/months to come.
Recommendations 1. Plan and implement a nutritional study in the five districts to get a complete picture of the situation in the district of Timbuktu; 2. Provide systematic malnutrition screening at the Community Health Centers (CSCOMs) and at the mobile clinics; 3. Provide moderate acute malnutrition care at the CSCOMs (URENAS); 4. Strengthen the training of personnel and the quality of malnutrition care.

Education Sector No active partner has been identified in the education sector. Timbuktu has 12 primary schools, 8 second education schools, 3 high schools, 5 vocational high schools, and several private schools. The exact number of private schools has not been disclosed by the key informers. The education sector was heavily hit by the crisis and is a critical preoccupation for the leaders and households in Timbuktu. The fleeing of teachers, partial destruction of buildings, pillaging, closing and occupation of schools are the issues quoted that led to the interruption of education for a majority of Timbuktu's children. Public schools are all closed since April 2012. Some schools, including a high school, were occupied by armed groups. The leaders consider that it is the State's responsibility to ensure that teachers return to their position. School equipment and school material are also on the priority list regarding rebuilding and restoration of sites. Part of the Koranic schools are operational. However, several of them closed with the fleeing of marabouts during the crisis. Women expressed their worries regarding the education of the children, but also their lack of understanding of the situation: no explanation was given to the children regarding the closing of schools. The household study revealed that, of all the households surveyed, 93% of the households (111 households) had school-age children. Twenty-two percent of the households (24 households) with school-age children educate their daughters in a Koranic school and 36% of the households (40 households) with school-age children send their boys to the Koranic school. Children sent to public schools have stopped their education because their school was closed and/or occupied by armed groups.
Conclusion The education sector suffered heavily in this crisis, with the closing of all public schools. Leaders organized a symbolic ceremony to inform about the reopening of schools, but this will only be effective with the return of teachers and professors, restoration of buildings, and equipment in school materials.
Recommendations 1. Restore and re-equip the school facilities (buildings, WASH facilities); 2. Reassign teachers and professors; 3. Evaluate the adjusting requirements for the courses, and the need for support and remediation programs for children whose scholarship was disrupted;

Protection Sector Both groups of informers interviewed acknowledged that the protection sector is important since land mines have been reported in the city, including the mosque, where the presence of land mines is confirmed, and the Ministry of Culture, where it is unconfirmed, and in the outskirts. The case of a child wounded by a grenade was also reported by the community health workers in Bellafarandi. Leaders also expressed their worries regarding the children and the traumas caused by the crisis. In fact, the leaders report the enlistment of children into armed groups, especially for Tamashek families who had to pay the armed groups, take up arms themselves, or to give their children. Violences and traumas caused to women should also be noted. One case of rape was reported to the crisis management committee, and the convict was beaten by the Islamists in Timbuktu. But women state that various assaults against women are known outside of the city, and perpetrated by MNLA fighters. Women also experience living in fear. At the time of the interview, they still expressed this fear and the uncertainty regarding their future ("Will they come back? "). Women especially expressed traumas linked to confinement, miscellaneous prohibitions (to group, to talk to men of their family in public), and wearing the veil. Women were beaten up in front of their husband if they were not covered enough by their veil. Women also highlighted they young women and teenagers espacially suffered outside of the city, where there are rumors of rape. No psychosocial support system is implemented in Timbuktu, and only medical care is available as part of the services offered by MSF. No case of lost children was reported. Telecom Sans Frontières (TSF) implemented a telecommunication service at the city hall to facilitate the restoring of family links in the case when some family members have left the town. These services are operational since February 14th, 2013. The household survey reports the following items: on 120 households surveyed, 40% (48 individuals) declare that they had issues linked to insecurity. Among them, 50% (24 individuals) declared that endured physical assaults.
Conclusion The evaluation exposed important needs in terms of protection. Whether it is about raising awareness on explosive devices or health care and support in cases of crisis-related traumas, it is important to answer to the specific needs of children, teenagers, and women. An intervention in the management of the conflict regarding the nature of the conflicts based on ethnicity (Tuareg/Arabs vs. Bambaras) is also to be considered.
23 Š2013 International Medical Corps
Recommendations 1. Lead awareness campaigns on explosives and behavior to adopt in the areas that were used as battle fields; 2. Identify the psycho-social support mechanisms at the community level; 3. Train and strengthen the role of key stakeholders in the communities, especially community health workers; 4. Implement psycho-social support interventions for the victims of violence based on gender, physical assaults, and for the rehabilitation of children soldiers.

Shelter Sector No active partner has been identified in this sector. The households are accommodated in tents, huts, or in houses. In the Household survey, 22% of the surveyed households declare that part of their housing was destroyed, and 17% declare that they were pillaged. The destructions mainly seem to have touched households located in the districts of Djingareiber, Sorekeima, and Ballafarandi. Discussions with the groups of key informers provide more insight on this data. These destructions and pillaging could come from individuals taking advantage of the crisis situation to wreck and pillage some houses. In fact, there hasn't been any combat leading to massive destructions in Timbuktu. Interviews with groups of leaders and key informers also highlighted the dynamics during the crisis: some families from the outskirts left their housing to occupy houses in the city center. This generally occurred with the approbation of the city neighbors, several families occupying the same house. Therefore, some housings are overpopulated. This also leads to thinking that the return of refugees and displaced individuals might create tensions when the property owners will try to retake their house. The question of rents has also raised. Due to the crisis situation, unemployment, slow-down of commercial and handicraft activities, the families have difficulties to pay their rent. When the property owners come back, this might create tensions and critical situations for some households.
Recommendations 1. Evaluation the amount of families who left their huts in the outskirts and occupy houses in the city of Timbuktu; 2. Evaluate the potential risks of conflicts and establish an intelligence system; 3. Accompany the local authorities and the crisis management unit in case of disputes regarding housing and property disputes; 4. Facilitate the supply of materials to the city for the required restoration and reconstruction works.

Snapshot of Logistics and Security from January 31, 2013 to February 5, 2013 (Note: 494 CFA is equivalent to $1 USD)
Access (doesn't consider security aspect): Timbuktu was accessible from Douentza by road in 4 hours. The road was correct (2/3rd laterite, compact soil, then 1/3rd of mix soil/sand). 300m sand dune (16⁰14'57,0"N 2⁰51'57,2"O to 16⁰15'7,0"N 2⁰51'57,8"O) difficult to pass (many cars got stuck here). Recommendation: to travel with 4x4 fitted with sand plates. Very few cars on the road, difficult to find assistance in case of a problem. Recommendation: to travel in a 2-car convoy minimum and pulling rope. Cargo transport: the road from Douentza to Timbuktu was closed to cargo transport. It seems the road from Diabali to Lere was opened (unconfirmed, a bus leaves Bamako to Timbuktu on Thursdays with goods and passengers). Recommendation: to prefer river transport from Mopti. Ferry: 3 ferries that seemed operational (French Army booked the 3 to transport their cars). However, no engine is functional. Ferries are pushed by 40HP pirogue engines in 1 hour going upstream. The cost of ferry crossing is CFA60,000 (to split between number of cars, up to 4). Ferry stations on Timbuktu side. First in first on the ferry. Recommendation: it is possible to transport the vehicle the evening of the day before by ferry with driver sleeping on the other side, and do an early crossing with passengers in pirogue. When coming from Douenza, it isn't possible to call the ferry. Recommendation: One should cross with a pirogue (20min/CFA6,000).
40 ©2013 International Medical Corps
Rental: CFA75,000/day (including driver, excluding fuel) for vehicles with lots of km in a low state of maintenance. Recommendation: rent vehicles in Bamako for Timbuktu. Maintenance: We experienced problems with our 4x4 system. The driver managed to find a workshop, appropriate spare parts and fixed it. With lots of vehicles passing by Timbuktu in the past, very basic workshops have developed and mechanics skills are pretty good. However, this is far below standard and price of spare parts (when available) is twice the price paid in Bamako. Closest average standard workshop is Mopti. Recommendation: to maintain stock of spare parts for most frequent used spares in Timbuktu. To set up good standard workshop (if vehicles are owned). To undertake emergency repairs in local workshops and drive cars to Mopti for further repairs. Fuel: Diesel seems to be of low quality, scarce and expensive. 1L= CFA 900 (vs. 650 in Bamako or Mopti). Diesel was found in a small storage in Douentza, good quality at 650CFA (no pump station was operational). Recommendation: to transport fuel from Mopti by river and set up storage units in Timbuktu
Electric supply: from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM plus random. Fairly stable. Electricity expected to be restored when fuel supply will resume. Generators: generators available for rent: single phase / 4.5KVA (CFA 22,000/day), 0.9 KVA (CFA 20,000). Old generators, in medium/bad state. Recommendation: To bring generators from Bamako even for short term missions. Water supply: totally unstable. Comes and goes any time of the day (surprisingly, didn't seem related to the electric supply). Good pressure when water was available. Recommendation: water towers/tanks for water storage. Pumps don't seem necessary as pressure seemed ok.
Telephone network: Partially destroyed for Orange (4 down out of the 6 antennas), the network was back on February 3 with maximum congestion and no data transfer option. NGO TSF set up a BGAN for government officials at the mayor office and installed emergency phones for the population's benefit (closed on February 8). Orange is sending equipment to undertake priority repairs. While the network can't be considered reliable for the moment, Orange is sending large amount of equipment to proceed with emergency repairs and restore networks (again, data isn't a priority). Network is expected not to cover villages for some time (beyond antenna perimeter). No information was available about Malitel, which isn't yet operational.
Recommendations: -
Use a Thuraya as back up telephone option Consider V-Sat as only reliable internet connection for now. However this may soon charge as Orange will make efforts to provide data transfer in a 2nd stage. Equip vehicles with VHF and HF to maintain communication during field trips beyond Timbuktu cell network radius.

Retail: There are very few shops opened. Arab merchants left town. Trade routes coming from the north stopped to be used and the town is living on its stocks (no more Coca-cola on day 3, difficult to find wax-candles). Until southern supply routes are permanently restored, only basic procurement activities are possible but unreliable. The main shop, GdF (Galerie Doucoure & Fils), is also doing transport and money transfer (via Moneygram). Supplies are however scarce (for example, difficult to find candles). Recommendation: to consider transporting most supplies from Mopti by pirogue.
Companies: According to Sane Toure Construction Company, met in Timbuktu, from over 20 companies operating in Timbuktu prior to events, there are only 3 companies that are still operational (Sane Toure, Tombouctou Construction and AlFarouk Construction). Constructions/rehabilitations can still be undertaken. This may take more time by chartering large pirogues for supplies, still possible. Labor intensive activities are a priority to provide income and restore livelihoods. Price per sqm are likely to be increased by 30% due to the logistics constraints (baseline is CFA85,000/sqm ground floor health center incl. well, tower and solar-panels).

Fire season has started in state | Washington State Department of Natural Resources
Despite the cold and wet start to summer, the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is warning that hot, dry weather and threat of thunderstorms have brought on Washington's fire season. In 2011, 90 percent of fires were human-caused.
Much of eastern Washington is experiencing hot, dry weather conditions and is under a Red Flag Warning . Abundant lightning is expected late this afternoon in both Western and Eastern Washington, continuing through Monday evening.Increased lighting risk mixed with dry fuels can lead to multiple fire starts and catastrophic wildfire.
DNR fire crews are prepared and ready to respond to reported fires. Helicopters are available and engine crews have been pre-positioned for quick response. DNR's goal and focus is on keeping fires less than ten acres, which greatly reduces the risk and cost of large uncontrolled fires.
Fires currently burning
Navarre Fire (Wenatchee-Okanogan Forest): 675 acres. Weather conditions continue to be hot and dry with predictions for temperatures to reach triple digits this afternoon. Motorists traveling on US Highway 97A need to use caution as aircraft dip water from the Columbia River. DNR is asking people to not park along the highway or impede firefighting apparatus working in the area.
Uptanum Fire (Wenas Wildlife Area): 225 acres, grass and sage brush, 90 percent contained. On Saturday, one firefighter was transported to a local hospital to be treated for heat exhaustion. The firefighter was treated and released.
Get updates online
Resources of fire-related information include:
DNR's Twitter feed: Follow DNR at: http://twitter.com/waDNR
The National Incident Information System (InciWeb): http://inciweb.org/ (view major wildfire incidents by state)
Daily updates on burn restrictions and Industrial Fire Precaution Levels by zone are available on DNR's website at www.dnr.wa.gov or by calling 1-800-323-BURN. The direct link to a map of all IFPL zones in Washington State is: http://fortress.wa.gov/dnr/ifpl/IFPL.aspx
DNR statewide burn ban
In an effort to reduce preventable wildfires, DNR issued a statewide burn ban covering all DNR-protected lands, effective July 1, 2012, through September 30, 2012. The ban includes all forestlands in Washington except for federal lands. During the ban, designated campgrounds may allow campfires in approved fire pits. DNR or the campground management may put additional restrictions in place, including a ban on campfires, depending on weather conditions.
DNR's wildfire mission
Administered by Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark, DNR is responsible for preventing and fighting wildfires on 12.7 million acres of private, state and tribal-owned forestlands. DNR is the state's largest on-call fire department, with over 1,000 employees trained and available to be dispatched to fires as needed. During fire season, this includes over 700 DNR employees who have other permanent jobs with the agency and about 400 seasonal employees hired for firefighting duties. Additionally, Department of Corrections' adult offenders and Department of Social and Health Services-Juvenile Rehabilitation Administration juvenile offenders participate in the DNR Correctional Camps Program. DNR also participates in Washington's coordinated interagency approach to firefighting.

A slang term used to mean "cartoon attorney." The word is used to describe a type of email spam message -- or unsolicited email -- that is written in such a way that a spammer wants the recipient to believe lawyers and legal threats that they mention in the e-mail are legitimate. These types of messages are frequently sent by a spammer when they realize they have been blocked by spam filters, usually at the ISP-level, and cannot send mass spam messages. May also be seen written as "cart00ney."

The Anime that finally made me cryI've never cried before from watching an Anime, TV program, Game, Etc. But this Anime actually got to me. Quite hard. With the name and cover art for this Anime I really, really didn't expect to react the way I did. But I did. I love this Anime. It's incredibly sweet, and touching. I feel embarrassed to say all this, even more so since my profile picture is my actual face. That I love this Anime, ...Read more
A very good and "strange" love storyI saw the anime at another site, but I read the manga (all 92 chapters) here at Crunchyroll. It starts very uniquely, but it grows on you as Akira Tsubaki and Mikoto Urabe develop their special relationship. You have to see all the anime episodes and later read the entire manga which ends quite bittersweet and made me cry. Most of the chapters are so funny that they made me laugh out and I keep ...Read more
Great But Needs A Sequel!I really enjoyed this anime and thought it was a very cute and original romance. The main character isn't the best so its hard to like him at times, but the others are fun. The humor is well timed and enjoyable. What I didn't like is how much this made me want a sequel. Much more than many shows I've seen, this really needs one. The story doesn't really resolve, so be prepared for that. Otherwise, ...Read more
Unexpectedly amazingUnexpectedly good and I wish they would make a second season, the anime is so true to the manga it would be a wast to not make it. I think if this anime gets better reviews or more views I think the original creator might think about making the second season I just hope that they still keep it true to the manga.
Very outstanding anime, and was hooked from the start.A very different anime that had me on the fence, but after watching the first episode, I was hooked. The story will pull you in, and the characters are very fun to watch as they grow. I would definitely recommend giving this one a go. This is an anime I wish they would run a little more, and let us see how they progress beyond to graduation, but alas, I know this probably will never happen.

The first 2 episodes I was constantly going "WTF?!".. But I just had to see the next episode after each one ending, yes it's that intriguing.

I will probably never find anything that will become so near to me other than my won girlfriend which i hope will be ...Read more
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:One of my favorite animes ever!This story is just amazing! I loved it since episode 1 to 3 and then it got little meh... BUT then it started to get much better till the end. The development of these two characters romance is just awesome!
This anime has some kinda weir scenes but you'l get used to it!
-MYST WATHC HIKLY ROEKOMMMEND TO ANYONE!! (i really mean it! QQ)
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:A Genuinely Interesting CharacterWhat this anime does right, above all else, is introducing a character that is unique/weird/interesting/different/etc. More often then not, the characters in anime who are considered "different"are otakus/neets. These people are often identified in groups. IE: different, but not-so-unique. Mikoto takes everything about the definitions of unique and weird and different, and runs with it.
Dunno why I even bothered reviewing this...I'm seeing all these 5/5 ratings, but I honestly don't know what people see in this garbage.Read more
After reading the manga watching the anime, I had come to the conclusion that this was a complete waste of time. The character development is minimal and the relationship between the two protagonists barely changes from start to end. There's no decent build up of anything, no distinguishable plot - ...
