United Nations, New York, 6 November 2009 - Informal comments to the Media by the Permanent Observer of Palestine, H.E. Mr. Riyad Mansour and representatives from families from East Jerusalem on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question. The United Nations refugee agency said today it is stepping up aid to people uprooted by military operations in the Pakistani region of South Waziristan, while highlighting the ongoing needs of around one million people still displaced from an earlier offensive in the northwest. Since September, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has been distributing relief items such as kitchen sets, jerry cans, quilts and sleeping mats to an estimated 175,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) from South Waziristan.
