KABUL(SW): Statistics by Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA), showed that more than 12,000 families have been displaced due to the recent fighting in Kunduz.
It is said that these displaced families have fled to Baghlan, Takhar, Badakhshan, Samangan, Kabul, Parwan, Kapisa and Panjshir provinces.
Abdullah Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer, presiding over the first meeting of ANDMA yesterday (Friday), said providing necessary aid to the displaced families was the priority of the government.
He said that negligence in providing aids to those families was not acceptable and urged the related aid bodies to seriously take action about it.
Members of ANDMA said the dead bodies in Kunduz city, shortage of food and lack of electricity were the main challenges people faced in Kunduz.
It was decided in the meeting that the aids should be delivered in three phases as assisting the displaced families, assessing people’s needs and reconstructing government and foreign organization’s buildings destroyed in the fighting.
ANMDA also decided to collect the dead bodies from the city through Red Crescent Committee and local tribal elders.
Earlier, there was a report about the displaced families who fell sick to epidemic diseases like pneumonia and diarrhea.
Local officials in Takhar said that more than 7,000 displaced families have fled to Takhar province where they are under a bad living condition.
