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.

United Nations, New York, 5 November 2009 - Effective immediately, the United Nations is taking additional steps to reduce risks to its national and international staff serving in Afghanistan. This is in light of the 28 October attack against UN staff in Kabul, as well as further ongoing threats.
Although many details of the new measures can not be made public, they will involve short-term relocations for some staff while additional security is being put in place. Some 600 out of the roughly 1,100 international staff we have in Afghanistan will be temporarily relocated, either to safer locations within the country or outside the country.
The United Nations is fully committed to helping all of Afghanistan's people, as it has been for more than half a century. We will carry out all our mandated tasks. Every effort will be made to minimize disruption to our activities while these additional security steps are being taken.
