to unruly behavior of the IDPs. To address the issue, DSWD issued coupons to the IDPs for claiming at DSWD-ARMM Operations Center (Crystal Inn, Pala-o, IC).

Feedback / Comments:

IOM updated on the Bill of Quantities (BOQ) of their proposed alternative evacuation space (AES); several feedback were given: to consider having consultation with other stakeholders and most importantly, with the IDPs themselves – both home-based and inside ECs; the decision for approval of this proposal should be discussed in and by the CCCM Cluster; Need also for a timeline as to until when will the displacement be

Gaps & Constraints / Priorities / Concerns:

June 22, 2017

The MDM Cluster has monitored a news from Rappler that the mass graves are almost done for all casualties (dead) in the Marawi Crisis: http://www.rappler.com/nation/173626-marawi-city-clearance-rehabilitation.

– The MDM Chief has immediately raised this concern to the NDRRMC Executive Director for intervention and highlighted the fact that the MDM Cluster has good plan.

June 21, 2017

Some individuals going to Capin funeral homes are afraid they may be arrested especially if their missing relative is suspected to be one of the terrorists. This may prevent them from seeking information at the Welfare Desk or agreeing to have AM data collected, thereby limiting success rate for DVI.

– PNP to convey this concern to their Director on how this issue / concern will be treated.

http://www.rappler.com/nation/173626-marawi-city-clearance-rehabilitation

http://www.rappler.com/nation/173626-marawi-city-clearance-rehabilitation
