translatiobn:
“Right now, here in Charsadda, the main priorities in terms of water are 1. to provide drinking water in the camps where displaced people have settled but where there is no infrastructure to supply safe drinking water and 2. to provide drinking and chlorinated water in places where people have gathered, in towns, to prevent water contamination and to prevent disease in places where people are living in overcrowded conditions.”

translation:
“People are swimming in floodwater, water that’s picked up all the dirt and germs that were in the ground and in places where sanitation standards were lacking, people are bathing in contaminated water… Obviously that carries a health risk for the people.”

19. SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) THOMAS BATARDY, MSF WATER AND SANITATION ENGINEER, SAYING: “" At the moment the biggest problem we face with the water distribution here in Charsadda, is to try to reach the people who have been settled in places where there is not facilities for water distribution. So the biggest challenge will be to install some static points here in these kind of places, and the second biggest challenge will be to provide clean water and chlorinated water in the places where the density of population is very high, for example in settlements like in Charsadda, in the schools, in the hospitals, or in the agglomerations outside of Charsadda. Bringing the chlorinated water in these places will be first good for health of people not to have diseases, waterborne diseases, and second to avoid the post contamination of the water, in order not to transmit diseases from people to people in these kind of places.”
STORY: With at least 1,600 dead and millions displaced by Pakistan’s worst flooding in more than a century, aid officials now fear the spread of disease from water-borne conditions. Many people take their water from open wells, which are now contaminated. So MSF teams are now busy supplying fresh water in areas including the Swat valley, Nowshera and the town of Charsadda, some 25km north of Peshawar.

In and around Charsadda, MSF is providing clean water through a combination of 21 mobile water points on trucks and minivans, and seven fixed bladder outlets.
From 49 different water points, MSF is now providing more than 300,000 litres of clean water daily to affected communities in various parts of the country. In Charsadda, Nowshera and other areas water tanks are placed in different neighbourhoods and refilled regularly. In other places like Swat MSF works with the community to make sure water is provided and shared at different places where people gather like mosques and schools.

MSF is also providing primary health care in affected areas, and providing hygiene kits and cooking materials. In the Swat Valley, MSF is busy erecting three tents in the car park of the existing Saidu Sharif hospital in Mingora, the biggest town in the valley. One tent is intended for severe cases of diahhroea and similar conditions, a second for less severe. Low-lying areas of Mingora have been flooded, and water pipes destroyed or contaminated. Electricity supplies for a population of some 400,000 have been disrupted, leading to fears of the spread of disease.
