| [Dawn] The US has so far provided more than $273 million in humanitarian assistance for Afghan refugees in Pakistain and its host communities. In the fiscal year 2022, the US provided nearly $60 million in assistance to the Afghan refugees and Pak host communities. Speaking at a ceremony in Islamabad on Thursday, US Ambassador Donald Blome said: "The United States is grateful to Pakistain for generously hosting Afghan refugees for more than four decades, and we are proud to continue our support for this worthwhile cause." The US assistance is increasing school enrollment for Afghan and Pak children in KP and Balochistan ...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it... , improving Pak healthcare services and boosting nutrition programmes in areas hosting Afghans, promoting livelihood activities for refugees and host communities, improving water, sanitation, and hygiene infrastructure, and supporting recovery from the health and economic effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. Thanks to the US support, the UNHCR was on the ground immediately to respond to the devastating floods of 2022 — providing life-saving relief items to Paks and Afghan refugees," noted UNHCR representative in Pakistain Noriko Yoshida. Unicef representative in Pakistain Abdullah Fadil thanked the US for its support and enabling Unicef to make a positive difference in the lives of Afghan refugees. |

| #1 .....grateful to Pakistain for generously hosting Afghan refugees for more than four decades, and we are proud to continue our support for this worthwhile cause." No mention of the Paki "hosting" UBL or the Taliban for decades. Please tell us what the $60m 'really' purchased. |
