** Key Messages: UPDATED
------------------------------------------------------------
* People confirmed to have COVID-19: 38=2C544 (as of 2pm=2C 10 September.=

* Deaths from COVID-19: 1=2C420
* Samples tested: 105=2C422

s=2C messaging and rumour management
Situation Overview: UPDATED
MoPH data (https://moph-dw.gov.af/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action#/=
) shows that 38=2C544 people across all 34 provinces in Afghanistan are no=
w confirmed to have COVID-19. Some 31=2C048 people have recovered=2C and 1=
=2C420 people have died - 75 of whom are healthcare workers. Almost 10 per=
 cent of the total confirmed COVID-19 cases are among healthcare staff. 10=
5=2C422 people out of a population of 37.6 million have been tested. The m=
ajority of the deaths were people between the ages of 40 and 69. Men in th=
is age group represent half of all COVID-19-related deaths. Men account fo=
r more than 70 per cent of the total COVID-19 confirmed cases=2C although=
 this may be the result of over-representation of men in testing. Due to l=
imited public health resources and testing capacity=2C as well as the abse=
nce of a national death register=2C confirmed cases of and deaths from COV=
ID-19 are likely to be under-reported overall in Afghanistan. Kabul remain=
s the most affected part of the country in terms of
confirmed cases=2C followed by Hirat=2C Balkh=2C Kandahar and Nangarhar pr=
ovinces. Complacency and failure to follow public health advice is creatin=
g grave risks in the community=2C with people generally not observing phys=
ical distancing protocols.

Hospitals and clinics continue to report challenges maintaining or expandi=
ng their facilities=E2=80=99 capacity to treat patients with COVID-19 as w=
ell as maintaining essential health services. In Afghanistan=2C there has=
 been a general decrease of 30 to 40 per cent in the utilisation of essent=
ial health services. Meanwhile=2C mobile health team consultations between=
 April and July increased by 83 per cent compared to the same period last=
 year. WHO emphasises that infection prevention and control need to be imp=
roved in health facilities to encourage people to return to health service=
s safely. WHO reiterates the importance of ensuring healthcare workers hav=
e the proper personal protection to carry out services. In addition=2C eff=
ective and accurate risk communication activities are needed to reassure p=
eople that it is safe to seek treatment at hospitals and health centres=2C=
 and that health centres are carrying out proper infection prevention and=
 control measures.

https://moph-dw.gov.af/dhis-web-commons/security/login.action#/

Current laboratory capacity in Afghanistan remains limited. Humanitarian p=
artners urge the Government of Afghanistan to ensure laboratories are appr=
opriately equipped and that procured supplies go to under-resourced health=
 centres in a transparent manner=2C so that life-saving support can be del=
ivered to those most in need.

WHO notes that when health systems are overwhelmed=2C as is being seen in=
 Afghanistan=2C both direct mortality from the outbreak and indirect morta=
lity from vaccine-preventable and treatable conditions increase dramatical=
ly. WHO stresses the need to balance the demands of responding directly to=
 COVID-19=2C with simultaneously engaging in strategic planning and coordi=
nated action to maintain essential health service delivery=2C mitigating a=
gainst the risk of system collapse.

Response Activities: UPDATED
Humanitarians have rapidly scaled-up services to support the response to t=
he pandemic=2C reaching millions of people with life-saving assistance for=
 new and existing needs. For a detailed update of all cluster response act=
ivities in Afghanistan please see the latest Operational Situation Report.=
 (https://www.humanitarianresponse.info/sites/www.humanitarianresponse.inf=
o/files/documents/files/operational_sitrep_covid-19_9_september_2020_final=
=2Epdf)

The latest cumulative COVID-19 response figures include:
* Health Cluster partners have reached almost 4.7m people with risk commun=
ication and community engagement messages
* More than 2.3 million people have been reached with WASH assistance
* More than 564=2C000 people have been reached by ES-NFI partners with key=
 messages on prevention of COVID-19
* Protection partners have reached more than 269=2C000 people with psychos=
ocial support services
* Close to 327=2C000 people have been reached with COVID-19 specific food=
 assistance by FSAC partners between the beginning of May and 31 July.
* More than 100=2C000 children have been reached with home-based learning=
 materials
* Nutrition partners have distributed more than 87=2C000 IEC materials acr=
oss the country since the start of the crisis.

Humanitarians remain concerned about the impact of COVID-19 on the most-vu=
lnerable=2C particularly people with disabilities and families who rely on=
 casual daily labour and lack alternative income sources. According to WFP=
=E2=80=99s market monitoring (https://reliefweb.int/report/afghanistan/afg=
hanistan-countrywide-weekly-market-price-bulletin-issue-17-covering-2nd-we=
ek) =2C the average wheat flour price (low price and high price) increased=
 by 9 per cent between 14 March and 9 September=2C while the cost of pulse=
s=2C sugar=2C cooking oil and rice (low quality) increased by 27 per cent=
=2C 20 per cent=2C 27 per cent=2C and 18 per cent=2C respectively=2C over=
 the same period. This price increase is accompanied by declining purchasi=
ng power of casual labourers and pastoralists =E2=80=93 which have deterio=
rated by 4 per cent and 7 per cent respectively (compared to 14 March).

The Afghanistan Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) has released ana=
lysis from its fourth round of data collection  between 10 and 20 August=
=2C in 30 provinces. According to the report=2C people  interviewed report=
ed that 70 per cent of consumers faced barriers to accessing markets. Of t=
hose people reporting market access challenges=2C 36 per cent cited fear o=
f exposure to COVID-19 and public health restrictions as the main reason.=
 Moreover=2C supply chains have been interrupted in a number of places acr=
oss the country=2C with 7 per cent of people interviewed reporting difficu=
lties in obtaining enough commodities to meet demand in the last 30 days.=
 The cost of a Minimum Expenditure Basket (https://www.impact-repository.o=
rg/document/reach/f3ba3c8b/AFG_REACH_CVWG_JMMI_August.pdf) has increased b=
y one per cent=2C whereas the cost of a food basket has increased by two p=
er cent=2C compared to the third JMMI round (14 and 26 July). The report f=
inds that an increased number of shops being open=2C an
increase in demand=2C and seasonality (i.e. post-harvest) are the main rea=
sons for the price stability. For additional information=2C please see the=
 latest JMMI Situation Overview (https://www.impact-repository.org/documen=
t/reach/53721751/AFG_REACH_CVWG_JMMI_August_Covid19.pdf) .

Cross Border: UPDATED
On 3 September=2C armed clashes between Pakistan and Afghanistan security=
 forces reportedly took place along the Durand Line in the Mohmandara dist=
rict close to the Torkham border crossing. Both sides have now reached an=
 agreement and the situation has since normalised.

Ghulam Khan border crossing remains closed for pedestrian movement. Pakist=
an continues to facilitate the movement of cargo trucks and containers int=
o Afghanistan. Since 21 August=2C five border crossing points (Ghulam Khan=
=2C Torkham=2C Spin Boldak=2C Angor Adda and Kharlachi) have been open for=
 trucks=2C six days a week (every day except Saturday).

The Milak (Nimroz) and Islam Qala-Dogharoon (Hirat) crossings with Iran ar=
e officially open to commercial traffic and movement of documented Afghani=
stan nationals. According to the Border Monitoring Team of the Directorate=
 of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRR)=2C a total of 16=2C664 Afghanistan na=
tionals returned from Iran through the Milak and Islam Qala border crossin=
g sites between 30 August and 5 September=2C a 10 per cent decrease from t=
he previous week (18=2C615). 8=2C163 people returned voluntarily and 8=2C5=
01 were deported. IOM provided post-arrival humanitarian assistance to 1=
=2C631 people or 10 per cent of all undocumented Afghanistan nationals ret=
urning from Iran at its transit centres in Hirat and Nimroz during the pas=
t week.

Borders with Tajikistan=2C Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan remain open only fo=
r commercial traffic and crossings of passport holders back into Afghanist=
an. Humanitarians emphasise the critical importance of maintaining a relia=
ble flow of traffic for humanitarian cargo from all neighbouring countries=
 and are advocating for special consideration to expedite movement of huma=
nitarian food and relief items through border crossings.

Operational Issues: UPDATED
Commercial domestic flights are operating. The United Nations Humanitarian=
 Air Service (UNHAS) has reduced domestic flight days from five to four da=
ys a week. UNHAS will continue to support any required evacuation and relo=
cation flights during all days of the week.

International commercial air travel has resumed with Air Arabia=2C Ariana=
 Airlines=2C Kam Air=2C and Emirates Airlines providing round-trip interna=
tional flight services to/from Kabul. Emirates Airlines announced (https:/=
/www.emirates.com/english/help/flying-to-and-from-dubai/tourists-travellin=
g-to-dubai/) that effective from 1 August=2C all passengers travelling to=
 Dubai=2C including those in transit=2C must have a negative COVID-19 test=
 certificate issued by an Emirates-approved laboratory (https://c.ekstatic=
=2Enet/ecl/documents/health-screening-documents/approved-laboratories.pdf) t=
o be accepted on the flight.

The UNHAS airbridge connecting Kabul and Doha continues to operate on Sund=
ays=2C Tuesdays and Thursdays. Flights into Doha accommodate transiting pa=
ssengers only. UNHAS remains fully committed to supporting the Doha Airbri=
dge until 30 September=2C as per the initial plan. The next UNHAS flight t=
o Doha is planned for Sunday=2C 13 September.
