DOMISTAN STAR FACTS:
The ship captain admits illegal trafficking
First report is of 800 people living in shipping containers
Pacific States have absolutely refused landing
on the continent
Salt Island administrator is awaiting advice before allowing
landing
People have completely exhausted their food and water
reserves
People have been aboard for 3 weeks - future is uncertain, but
they refuse to return to their original home where they claim
they are persecuted.
Ship’s owner demands to unload people at Salt Island
Political talks on this situation are at a stalemate

6. Use of Sphere approach in response to this situation could reasonably include:
Use of standards to advocate for migrants’ rights
Use of Charter to advocate for non-return of
passengers to their original homes
Use of indicators and actions to plan for immediate
humanitarian aid
Use of Charter to guide immediate on-board sectoral
assessment
Use of code of conduct to guide humanitarian
response in the midst of political discussion
Use of indicators to advocate for the landing of
passengers on Salt Island
7. Which of the following are Sphere indicators that might apply in this case:
People have access to 15 liters of water p/p/d
People’s safe access to market goods and services as
producers, consumers and traders is protected
No more than 20 people per latrine
People’s capacity and strategies to survive with dignity
are integral to the design and approach of
humanitarian response.
Women, men and children from all affected groups are
regularly consulted, and are involved in monitoring
activities
8. Scurvy has been reported among the passengers by the first arriving emergency health team - this fact alone likely indicates that nutrition standards are not being met.

9. First responders report that up to 20 people are sheltering in small un-insulated containers like the one shown below. Based purely on shelter space indicators, this should be adequate for the passengers until the situation is resolved.

10. The passengers have been allowed to land at Salt Island. Their status as refugees, illegal migrants, or victims of illegal trafficking, however, is still uncertain. Nobody knows how long these people may have to remain on Salt Island while high-level political negotiations continue. A Pacific States - based NGO has agreed to provide food for these people until a permanent solution can be found. Which of the following are in-line with Sphere guidance for determining the amount and types of food to be supplied?
• 2100 kcal p/p/d• 1900 kcal p/p/d• 40-50% of total energy provided by protein• 10% of total energy provided by protein• 17% of total energy provided by fat• 27% of total energy provided by fat
11. Which of the following are Sphere indicators that might apply in this case:
People have access to 15 liters of water p/p/d
No more than 20 people per latrine
The affected population conducts or participates in
meetings about how to organize the response
The under-5 mortality rate is maintained at or
reduced to, less than double the baseline rate for
this population
12. Due to developments in the region, approximately 20,000 Domistani people are to be relocated to Salt Island from detention centers and other holding facilities. Your organization has been requested to develop a site plan for a “camp” to be built by the Pacific States Military Forces. Using Sphere guidance as a basic planning tool, about how big should the site be?
About 1 square kilometer
About 4 square kilometers
About 8 square kilometers
There is no indicator for overall site area per person
13. Several NGOs and UN agencies have been carrying out assessments and programming missions to Salt Island. The Sphere text and approach might benefit this activity in which of the following ways?
Improved coordination through shared standardsRequiring inter-agency and multi-sectoral analysisHelping relate particular groups’ needs to unique standards of service as dictated by organizational mandates (refugees, children, women, elderly, for example)Providing detailed checklists for initial assessments
14. A single measles case has been reported in the newly established camp at Salt Island. Which of these actions are proposed by Sphere?
Estimate vaccination rate/coverage for measles for those children 6 months to 15 years old
Vaccinate the entire population Establish a system to ensure that at least 95% of children from 6 months to 59 months receive a vaccination and a dose of vitamin AImplement triage, diagnostic and case management protocols for immediate treatment.
15. Health programs are beginning for the population at Salt Island. Several new NGOs are undertaking these tasks. Which ideas below are in accordance with Sphere?
Representatives of the Ministry of Health lead the health sector response whenever possible
