Assistance for Pakistan refugees

Email from Dr Emil Khan of Frontier primary Health Care, Rose Charities (Hillman Medical Education Fund) partner. Rose Charities is assisting with emergency funding for these programs. Donations are much appreciated and go entriely to the projcet without any administration charges

...." Here the security situation is frightening . Our Government is at war against terrorism and the security forces are taking stern action against terrorists in the districts immediately adjacent to Mardan. Though there is no specific threat to FPHC or its outlets but every one in our target area is at risk and is frightened. No one knows when and where something wrong happens.

The people are fleeing their homes in war hit areas of Swat, Bajaur, Lower Dir and Buner. They reach in miserable condition to Mardan, Swabi, Charsadda, Nowshera and Peshawar districts. Few of them go to houses of their relatives in these districts but most of them look for shelter, food and health care etc. Government has set up camps for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) at different places. The Government of Pakistan, Civil Society Organisations and even common people are doing their best to provide some relief to these IDPs. FPHC has arranged emergency health care services for IDPs in one camp with its limited resources. We have planned emergency health care and nutrition rehabilitation services for IDPs living in four other IDP camps We have chosen nutrition rehabilitation in addition to emergency health care including mother and child health because the children and women are facing nutrients deficiencies for quite some time because of the turmoil in their areas.
