ISLAMABAD:
Nearly 40 trucks carrying internally
displaced persons (IDPs)
from North Waziristan en route to Afghanistan
were
turned back by the Pakistan army
at the Pak-Afghan border on Thursday.
Speaking
with The
Express Tribune, an official said the families
had
refused to have their children vaccinated against polio.
“They have demanded
that the government should first provide them
with proper food and shelter
before they have their children vaccinated,”
the official said on the condition
of anonymity.
The trucks were diverted to a camp in Bannu.
The
official said that it is now the provincial government’s responsibility
to
ensure that all IDPs entering the province
are vaccinated against polio.
Military officials told The Express Tribune
that
they hope Operation Zarb-e-Azb will enable access
to children who have not
received the vaccine since 2012.
Vaccinations will be carried out at check
posts
and 20 registration centres –
with ten each for men and women –
have been
set up, military sources said.
On the other hand, according to the Prime
Minister’s Polio Cell,
nearly 40,000 children have been vaccinated during
the
two-day Emirates Polio Campaign in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P)
and the Federally
Administered Tribal Areas (Fata)
under the UAE-Pakistan Assistance Programme
(UPAP).
“The target was 37,000 children and it is a positive sign
that 3000
more children were also vaccinated,” said an official.
Speaking
to The Express Tribune, EPI
National Manger Dr Ejaz Khan
said there are currently 61,000 IDPs in the Bannu
camp,
of which 2,930 are children.
In Dera Ismail Khan, there are 740 children
who have been vaccinated.
Dr Khan said there are ample amounts of the polio
vaccine
and the federal EPI has additional stock.
Two mobile medical teams have
been deputed to vaccinate children
against polio in the area.
Dr Khan said the
movement of IDPs from North Waziristan
is a good sign as it is providing an
opportunity
to vaccinate all those children who have never been vaccinated.

While we all know that the
citation is for the club’s achievement
of a variety of criteria throughout the

we also know that it is effective leadership
that allows any group
achieve its goals.
Our first lady president, Sue Reid,
displayed those qualities
of leadership that made this club
continue to be an effective and productive
Rotary Club
of which we can be proud and it was Sue’s dedication, enthusiasm
and drive that carried us along and resulted in us receiving the award.
Well done Sue! You have raised the bar a couple of notches
