IA RTE of the humanitarian response to Pakistan’s 2010 Floods crisis response was scaled up organisations were quickly stretched to the limit in terms of resources and available capacities. Non‐prioritised and politicised response 72. The response was poorly prioritised from the start. As a humanitarian organization representation stated “initially there was an excessive rush to start without deciding on how and where to respond that led to fundamental distortions in terms of equity and proportionality”. 73. Humanitarian actors have been confronted with challenges of being able to drive forward an independent needs‐based response, partly because of limited presence and capacity, but also for political reasons. The selection of beneficiaries was, at times, not done independently but was subordinated to political interference. Targeting was particularly weak as there was no systematic registration or verification process ‐ often there were no beneficiary lists or selection criteria established. When lists were prepared, these were not always drawn up on the basis of vulnerability. As a result, unknown quantities of assistance have reportedly reached those that were the least vulnerable, close to feudal landlords or connected through certain political affiliations. Many people from ethnic and tribal minorities and most vulnerable individuals and groups, such as widows or other female‐headed households, were not prioritised and therefore deprived from any assistance at all. People that went into organised camps were better assisted than those in spontaneous camps; while those in host families received limited assistance.

As a principled approach based on an impartial, neutral and independent humanitarian response 29 was missing, the humanitarian space has been compromised, especially in areas such as KPK, FATA and Baluchistan. Few organisations managed to carry out neutral and independent operations in some areas, among these Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) and ICRC 30 . The UN and its implementing partners were questioned about their relations with the GoP and the military, which was mainly an issue in conflict‐torn areas such as KPK. Coverage and Changing Situations 29 According fundamental principles, humanitarian action should be guided by the humanitarian principles of humanity, meaning the centrality of saving human lives and alleviating suffering wherever it is found; impartiality, meaning the implementation of actions solely on the basis of need, without discrimination between or within affected populations; neutrality, meaning that humanitarian action must not favour any side in an armed conflict or other dispute where such action is carried out; and independence, meaning the autonomy of humanitarian objectives from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian action is being implemented. 30 ICRC’s main partner, the Pakistani Red Crecent Society, is headed by the KPK governor raising questions about their ability to act impartially.
