Zarb-e-Azb: North Waziristan IDPs persistently face difficulties

BANNU: The internally displaced persons (IDPs) of North Waziristan who left their houses due to the on-going military operation against the terrorists are constantly facing difficulties, Geo News reported on Monday.

A large number of displaces families are still devoid of ration provided by the government while the month of Ramzan is another test of their patience. Thousands of IDPs reach the Sports Complex in Bannu to receive the daily supplies but they remain empty handed as they had not been provided with the ration card that could entitle them to receive the provisions.

Expressing their disappointment with the prevalent situation, the displaced families told that they are being treated unjustly.

It may be mentioned that the IDPs are fasting for the second day today and according to the affected families, they broke their fast with water on the first day as they did not have anything to eat.

The displaced persons also staged a protest against the administration during which they observed a sit-in at Bannu-Kohat road and blocked the traffic for one hour.
