ISLAMABAD, April 13 (Xinhua) -- The United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) has announced to end its operation in Pakistan's earthquake-hit areas on April 20 owing to lack of funding, a UNOPS news bulletin said on Thursday.

    Humanitarian air capacity had remained stable over last week, however if additional funding was not received, the UN Humanitarian Air Service (UNHAS fleet may be reduced to four Mi-8sas of May 4, the bulletin said.

    It said that helicopter capacity had remained stable over the last week. One more UNHAS Mi-8 was redeployed on Wednesday, which has brought the UNHAS fleet down to 12 helicopters.

    Under this revised fleet projection, passenger flights would continue but on a reduced schedule, it said.

    Cargo flights would continue to operate but at a very low capacity, it said.

    The statement said that latest landslides had once again affected road access in the area of operations.

    Many roads throughout the affected area remained cut off or dangerous because of snow, avalanche, mudslide, landslide, fallingrocks and erosion due to earthquake damage.

    The bulletin said that humanitarian operations were being slowed by a lack of agreement from the Pakistan Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) and the international relief community in the next phase of the mission. Enditem
