ISLAMABAD:
The United States has contributed additional $6 million to help Pakistan meet the food and nutritional needs of the IDPs from Fata following the operation Zarb-e-Azb. The contribution, provided through the USAID office of Food for Peace (FFP) is part of the on-going partnership between Pakistan, US and the UN World Food Programme under the Twinning Programme, said a US Embassy statement. The programme complements Pakistan’s contribution of locally grown wheat by paying for milling, fortification, transport and distribution costs.
