The German government has announced Euro 1 million in immediate assistance to support the relief activities of the World Food Programme (WFP) in the north-west of Pakistan through a project Enhancing Food and Nutrition Security and Rebuilding Social Cohesion for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) of North Waziristan tribal agency.
“The ongoing military operations have displaced significant parts of the population in that area; a fact which is exhibited in the recent exodus from Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA)’s North Waziristan Agency (NWA),” a spokesperson for German embassy in Islamabad said.
“The assistance would ensure the food security and nutrition of IDP in the north-west, support their return and facilitate recovery and would restore and stabilise the nutritional status of vulnerable populations in Pakistan’s most food-insecure areas,” the spokesperson said.
Meanwhile, sources in the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the organisation has provided medicines worth USD 250,000 for internally displaced persons (IDPs) from North Waziristan tribal region.
