Killi Faizo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Killi Faizo is a UNHCR staging refugee camp on the Afghan-Pakistan border, in Chaman, Pakistan - two kilometres into the country. A parallel camp exists on the other side of the border. It was opened in late 2001 as a response to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan.
Medical organisations such as Médecins Sans Frontières (particularly MSF-Holland) operate inside the camp. The World Food Program provides wheat flour, beans and vegetable oil for those in the camp. Physically, the site can accommodate up to 10,000 people - though authorities attempt to limit this to 1,600 (or 600 tents). Upon overcrowding refugees are often transferred to Roghani which, with Tor Tangi have a capacity of 50,000.
