(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL (Pajhwok): The Department of Refugees and Repatriation says it has so far repatriated more than 5,000 displaced families, but 10,000 other still remain in Kabul.

Maulvi Abdul Matin Rahimzai, director of refugee affairs in Kabul, told Pajhwok on Tuesday efforts were being made to provide clothing and food to displaced families during the winter.

“So far we have relocated more than 5,000 displaced families from different parts of Kabul to their home provinces while 10,000 families are still staying in Kabul,” he added.

The official said efforts were underway to relocate some families that wanted to return to their home provinces voluntarily before the cold weather.

The director said he had talked to a number of organisations to help the displaced households in Kabul.

Ahmad Zia, who was displaced from Chahar Dahi district of Kunduz, told Pajhwok he had been living in the northern part of Sara-i-Shamali for the past few months.
