ISLAMABAD The United Nations on Saturday strongly condemned twin suicide bombings against Pakistan's internally displaced people in Kohat.
In a statement, UN Humanitarian Coordinator for Pakistan Martin Mogwanja voiced his condemnation and said that attack hits Pakistan's most vulnerable people who have already suffered because of the ongoing fighting in the tribal areas.
The UN said it was temporarily suspending work helping displaced people in Kohat and neighboring Hangu as a result of the attack.
The attack took place on Saturday at the Sherkot registration point in Kohat when two suicide bombers dressed in burqas struck a crowd of displaced people collecting aid handouts, killing atleast 41 people.
At least 210,000 people have been displaced from the tribal districts of Orakzai and Kurram, most of whom have registered in Kohat and Hangu towns.—DawnNews/AP
