Humanitarian Relief

Humanitarian assistance is dropped into the Panjshir Province's Paryan District Oct. 28. At nearly 10,000 feet above sea level, Paryan has the highest elevation of the six districts in the Panjshir Valley. Since the rough and narrow road to the district cannot support truck transport, helicopter airlift of supplies was necessary. Using slings around pallets of food supplies, a Chinook helicopter's crew prepares to drop off one of two loads totaling four tons to help the district's 38,000 residents prepare for winter.
