WFP moves food to Badakshan, Takhar

    ISLAMABAD

    In the northeast, WFP has started moving food to Rustaq, Yangikala and Khuja Bahauddin following the allocation of 275 mt of wheat for distribution to 5,500 most vulnerable displaced families in Badakhshan and Takhar provinces. Both deliveries and distributions have been stopped in Dasht-i-Qala because fighting [between the advancing Taliban and opposition Northern Alliance] has spread to Khuja Ghor district, WFP said. People were reportedly fleeing the area and moving further west to Khuja Bahauddin district, it said.
