Displaced children without food, health, education
ISLAMABAD: The children of internally displaced persons (IDPs), who arrived here some nine months back are without food, education and health facilities. The IDPs told Daily Times that their children were attending schools before the trouble started in their respective areas and they were forced to move to other parts of the country for shelter. Since most of these families are living in low-cost areas around Pirwadhai with no proper source of income, many children go to fruit and vegetable market to collect leftover fruit and vegetables. Sarbali Khan, an IDP from Lower Dir, said children of many of his relatives had fallen ill after eating rotten vegetables they collected from the fruit market since their parents were unable to buy food for them. He said the poor parents could not afford medical treatment, which is resulting in deaths of their children due to diseases like food poisoning, cholera, diarrhea and other stomach related problems. staff report
