JALALABAD (Pajhwok): Provincial council members on Wednesday said harsh winter would bring more woes to families displaced by the ongoing conflict in Shinwari zone of eastern Nangarhar province.
About 13,000 families have been displaced as a result of infighting between rival militant groups and their clashes with security forces in the zone encompassing three districts.
These families are now living in houses of their relatives and in temporary shelters that can provide scant protection from the cold. Almost all these families need assistance.
