KABUL, Afghanistan - ISAF service members recently delivered supplies such as flour, cooking oil and tea to more than 100 families in the Now Zad district of Helmand province for the holy month of Ramazan.

The village mullah partnered with Afghan government leaders to hand out the items to Afghan families at the district government center.

Ford, Regional Command Southwest governance future operations planner. "We want to reiterate to the people of Afghanistan that we are here to protect them and assist GIRoA in providing better aid."
