Damaged roofs made from asbestos posed additional health risks. Following an initial assessment mission to the earthquake‑affected areas on 29 July, led by the Minister for Emergency Situations, a second joint mission followed on 1 August, led by the Deputy Prime Minister and including the UN Country Team, WHO, and humanitarian partners. WHO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, immediately activated other UN and international agencies and NGOs in response to the disaster. To date, more than ten health partners, including NGOs, UN, and international agencies, have worked together to provide 50,000 water purification tablets, 86 tents, essential household items, mosquito nets, soap, buckets, and high‑energy biscuits, and to ensure basic drugs are available. WHO has donated one NEHKit to support local health authorities in ensuring that essential medications are available for affected communities and has forwarded drug donation guidelines. Funding has been received from ECHO since January 2006 in support of WHO's work to 'strengthen and enhance the coordination of humanitarian health programmes' in Tajikistan.
