Medicine

Obat Perangsang Wanita - People fleeing the recent fighting in Orakzai and Kurram agencies are arriving in the adjacent district of Hangu in urgent need of food, medicine and other items. Hundreds of thousands have fled since last November and the movement has gained pace with the return of warmer weather.

Obat Perangsang - Accordingly, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRCS) have started delivering food and other essentials, such as blankets, tarpaulins and jerry cans, to the newly arrived internally displaced people (IDPs) in Hangu. “Our priority is to reach those living outside relief camps, as approximately 95% of the IDPs are hosted by local families or live in rented accommodation,” said Antje Ruckstuhl, in charge of ICRC activities in northwest Pakistan.

“PRCS is carrying out a door-to-door registration of IDPs, and so far, over 122,000 individuals have been registered in 19 union councils of the district,” PRCS District Secretary Hamidullah Mohmand said. Since January 2010, the organisations have jointly assisted 350,000 victims of fighting in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and the northwest of Pakistan. The ICRC has commended the work of PRCS ‘s recently established Hangu district branch, which has had to cope with the mass movement of IDPs. app
