N.Y. Firefighters, Police to Deliver Food, Blankets
New York City firefighters and police will deliver a planeload of food and blankets to a Kabul orphanage for needy Afghan children this week, the United Nations said.
“The [U.N.] World Food Program will receive more than 29 metric tons of emergency food assistance in Kabul from a group of New York City firefighters and police officers,” U.N. spokesman Yusuf Hassan told a briefing in the Afghan capital.
He said police and firefighters would fly in personally to deliver the cooking oil, rice, powdered milk and woolen blankets to a Kabul orphanage.
