| Church Aid's Afghan Refugees |
| In a coordinated effort among The Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints and four International relief agencies, nearly
400,000 pounds of humanitarian aid will be sent to at least three Asian
countries in an effort to aid thousands of fleeing Afghan refugees from
their war-torn country. In the last week, 19 semi-truckloads of clothing,
wool blankets, quilts, newborn and family hygiene kits along with plastic
sheeting for shelter and groundcover and water have been sent from Salt Lake
City. The supplies will be distributed to camps in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan
and Pakistan and should reach the refugee camps within four to six weeks
according to Garry Flake, director of Church humanitarian services. |
