Dear Mansha and Colleagues,
Welcome to the list. I am sending my response to the entire listserv
hoping that these publications can serve useful to many of us.
The report on the State of the World Population 2010 “From Conflict and
Crisis to renewal” can be found at: http://www.unfpa.org/swp/ Among
others, it highlights that health care services are often severely
affected or disrupted in times of crisis. Lack of coordination,
overcrowding, security
constraints, and competing priorities can contribute to an even greater
decrease in available and accessible health services, especially for
women and children.
The publication by UNFPA’s Humanitarian Response Branch “Guidelines on
Data Issues in Humanitarian Crisis
Situations":http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/6253
address key data issues related to the preparedness, acute, chronic and
post-crisis phases of humanitarian emergencies. They provide an overview
of the main data needs for each phase, challenges to obtaining reliable
data and information, plausible approaches to data collection,
management and use, and the strengths and weaknesses of the methods
considered.
Wars or natural disasters deprive people of life-saving reproductive
health information and services. “Reproductive Health for Communities in
Crisis”: http://www.unfpa.org/public/home/publications/pid/3255 details
UNFPA's work with global partners to respond to the reproductive health
needs of refugees and internally displaced persons in crisis situations
around the world: providing services to address complications of
pregnancy and delivery, the transmission of sexually transmitted
infections including HIV/AIDS, adolescent health, violence against
women, and access to condoms and other contraceptives.

I hope this serves useful.
Good luck on your paper.
Best regards, Sabrina Juran
