INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS CLASH WITH POLICE OVER DELAY IN DISTRIBUTION OF AID.
The World Food Program on Monday began distributing aid for hundreds of thousands of people who have fled a military operation in Pakistan, as refugees clashed with authorities over delays.

Pakistan began a long-awaited military offensive aimed at eliminating Taliban militants from their stronghold in the North Waziristan tribal district last week, following a brazen attack on the country’s busiest airport in Karachi.

The operation, involving airstrikes, tanks and heavy artillery has forced the exodus of more than 400,000 people, mainly to the nearby town of Bannu just outside the tribal zone. It has left nearly 280 militants dead, according to the Army, but the figure cannot be independently verified.

Safiullah Khan, an official with a local non-governmental organization partnered with the WFP, said a food distribution point in Bannu had begun providing rations including wheat flour, cooking oil, lentils and high energy biscuits. “We have made all necessary arrangements, which are enough to cater to ration needs of 15,000 families on daily basis,” he said.

Around 2,000 people had gathered at a local football ground where the food center was set up to wait for the first consignment of trucks. They later scuffled with police when distribution was delayed by several hours, who fired in the air to disperse the protestors.

Noor Bat Khan, a 60-year-old resident from Esori village in North Waziristan criticized authorities for taking so long to act and not creating enough centers. “The authorities should set up more distribution points as it will be difficult for the displaced persons to wait for their turn in scorching heat,” he said.

According to a government spokesman, a total of 404,819 people have so far left North Waziristan after the start of the military offensive.

Meanwhile influential warlord Hafiz Gul Bahadur held talks with a tribal jirga, or council, in North Waziristan where he repeated a threat to join forces with the Taliban if the offensive continued. “Bahadur said he would not launch any retaliatory action against military troops operating in the region until the middle of August provided the government agrees to stop the offensive enabling the refugees to return to their homes,” said a spokesman for the jirga, Malik Fida.

Bahadur fought against the Soviets during their occupation of Afghanistan and later against U.S. forces after 2001, but signed a peace deal with the Pakistani military in 2006.

@Leader @Marwat Khan Lodhi, both of you, don't be so ready to cheer IK and the friendly people of NW........ most if not all of them are a bane in our existence............. they all need to be settled in camps, properly vetted, fingerprinted, DNA'ed.... pictured, family and tribal allegiances need to be inked down..............

If we are really stupid, we will take them as they say....... it was them who married Chechen women, it was them who played with the Arabs, it was them who gave shelter to Uzbeks...... it's time, them and their children pay the price....... yes, even the ones who remained silent........... I'm sorry to say it, however, this is how it is...............
 
JI to set up relief camp for IDPs in Lakki Marwat

LAKKI MARWAT: The Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) has decided to set up a relief camp in the district for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) who fled North Waziristan military operation. The decision was made at a meeting held here on Sunday with district president Malik Mir Shah in the chair.

Speaking at the meeting, the JI leaders asked the federal government to fulfill its responsibilities and assist the provincial government in tackling the IDPs related issues. They said the district administration had vacated some schools for IDPs but no food and financial assistance had been provided to them so far.

They said the JI and its organisation Al-Khidmat Foundation would motivate local people to take care of the needs of IDPs and come forward to help them generously. Expressing concern over fleecing of the IDPs by transporters and owners of houses, they asked the district administration to take notice of the issue.

Meanwhile, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Serai Naurang tehsil held a relief camp in main bazaar to distribute aid items among IDPs. The activists offered cold water, juices, medicines and other essentialities to the displaced families coming to the townJI to set up relief camp for IDPs in Lakki Marwat - thenews.com.pk

Completly agree, one should not expect normal NW people to exterminate foreign/local terrorists. Its job of army/police, but some ignorant people also don't want operation.
