Urgent Appeal for Pakistani internally displaced people of Malakand division
Pakistan Peace and Solidarity Council (PPSC) - May 13, 2009
Dear Comrades!
Pakistan Peace and Solidarity Council (PPSC) urgently appeals to the philanthropists, donors, supporters, international relief organizations and international community for humanitarian aid to the displaced people from the Swat, Bunir, Dir and Malakand, the semi tribal areas located in the north of North West Frontier Province near the Pakistan-Afghan boarder. Due to the current continued fight between the Pakistan Forces and the Taliban fighters some more than 1.3 million people have left homes. They are in dire need of the food, shelter, medicines and other daily use items. Government has setup camps in District Mardan, Charssada, Sawabi and Nowshera, where still the registration is continued. About only 20% people are in these camps, the remaining majority is living with their relatives and friends or they have rented out buildings.
Food is not enough, while water is provided in the water tankers. Government male doctors perform duty but due to shortage of medicines, the treatment is not done fully in the camps. Most of the gastro and scabies cases are diagnosed. Some very essential medicines for gastro, malaria, skin, eye, allergies etc are not available in the camps. Due to non availability of the female doctors and paramedical staff, the females are reluctant to visit these clinics. The children have no recreational/education facility inside the camps and hence the families and specially mothers face difficulty.
Pakistan Peace and Solidarity Council is providing food, drinking water and assist the displaced people in registration in Shergarh, Takht Bhai, Mardan and Jalala.
Pakistan Peace and Solidarity Council (PPSC) appeals for the donations to provide relief to the displaced persons. Please contact the PPSC on the addresses below:
