ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, June 26 /Standard Newswire/ -- RAWA workers are familiar with the crisis in desert refugee camps on the Afghan side of the border with Iran. They are available themselves for interviews and can help arrange other contacts for the working press and media via cell phone or Skype or other Internet voice technology systems.
RAWA has workers helping particularly with children separated from both parents. But we do have wide contact with refugees and other refugee organizations and are willing to help you in any way we can.
World press is aware that 100,000 Afghan refugees are facing the threat of starvation after being forced by security forces out of Iran. Google or other advanced news search engine using keywords, Afghanistan, Iran, refugees, will bring up the latest press and media posts.
