I must say KPK has got excellent initiatives and projects being planned in the right direction, although I strongly disagree with their TTP policy which in long term is not going to benefit.

Distribution of food aid to displaced families in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province

In implementing the directives of President His Highness Shaikh Khalifa Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the UAE Project to Assist Pakistan (UAE PAP) has distributed 20,000 food baskets among displaced families in Durrani and Tirah Valley camps in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan.

The distribution has been overseen by the project’s field team in cooperation with the Pakistani Army, local governments in the province and representatives of international organisations.

The management of the UAE PAP has indicated that the distribution of food aid comes in implementation of the directives of Shaikh Khalifa to provide humanitarian and food assistance for displaced Pakistanis in these areas to alleviate their suffering and dire conditions, especially in northwestern Pakistan, where people are suffering from the bitter cold, poor health care and food shortage while living in temporary tents.

It also revealed that UAE PAP has prepared and distributed over 1,600 tonnes of food aid among the displaced families. The food items include flour, rice, sugar, salt, lentils, cooking oil and tea weighing 80kg per family.

On their part, the beneficiaries expressed their appreciation and thanks to Shaikh Khalifa for his initiatives to provide food aid for their families. They also praised the generosity which aims to alleviate their suffering, wishing Shaikh Khalifa good health as well as peace and security for the UAE for the provision of humanitarian aid.
