Turkey will provide $10 million to Pakistan for rehabilitation of temporarily displaced persons (TDPs) in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and affectees of 2014 floods. An agreement to this effect was signed by Turkish Ambassador Sadik Babur Girgin and Economic Affairs Secretary Tariq Mahmood in Islamabad, the Turkish embassy said in a statement.
Under the agreement, $5 million will be provided for tribal people displaced by an operation launched in 2014 against militants in the FATA along the Afghan border. The operation, which ousted Taliban from the restive region, also displaced more than a million people, mainly from North Waziristan, one of the seven semi-autonomous tribal regions. Another $5 million, according to the statement, will be used to rehabilitate the victims of the 2014 floods in the north of the country.
