Children going to school Less than half of the parents (48,7%) are able to send their children to school. The inferential statistical analysis demonstrated that the fact that children go to school or can’t do so is not significantly correlated with both the level of distress and the self-reported level of pain in the family. Prioritization of needs The study participants were asked to voice their three main needs. Over 70% of them listed housing as one of their top three wishes. It was followed by health (61%), work (59.4%) and then security (50.2%). Figure VIII: Needs of Respondents by frequency of Items, N=950 Access to Health and Social Services 54.3% of respondents stated that they had access to health and social services, while 45.7% indicated that they have no access. The infrential statistical analysis demonstrated that a satistically significant correlation exists between the location and the access to available health and social services. (p= 0.000 < 0.05) and between the type of house and the access to available health and social services p = 0.000< 0.05). The results showed that type of housing that corresponds to poorer services are hanger, concrete houses and wood houses while those who lived in tents reported more availability of health and social services. 32
However, no statistically significant correlation exists between the access to health and social services and the level of distress. Responses on coping When asked how they cope with unpleasent feelings, over a third of respondents stated that they went to a friend for help. 22.1% called on God and 20.8% called on the community health center. While, when asked how do they respond to the family needs, close to 60% of those interviewed stated they struggled by themselves, 11.7% stated they would be willing to work in a low-paying job. None referred to NGO or IO services in this survey. Figures IX& X Figure IX Coping with unpleasant feelings Figure X: Response to Family Needs, N=854 33
