They said that around 70% people don’t have access to basic hygiene supplies, and 55% don’t have access to sufficient water. Similarly, 78% of women and girls face difficulties to access latrine facilities while overall 66% of the population do not have access to toilet facilities. The community Key Informants from all 04 districts reported that the women have no access to any menstrual hygiene supplies in the current disastrous situation.
