		SPIN BOLDAK, Afghanistan, July 5 (UNHCR) - The UN High Commissioner for Refugees has begun moving internally displaced Afghans from the town of Spin Boldak on the Pakistani border to the camp of Zhare Dasht, the first step in a process that will see the IDP camp closed by the end of August.
		Spin Boldak camp was established in late 2001 to shelter Afghans fleeing the war between the Taliban rulers of Afghanistan and US-led forces but who were unable to cross the border into neighbouring Pakistan.
		The government of Afghanistan and implementing partners of UNHCR are currently conducting a survey of the 20,000 current residents of Spin Boldak to establish their intentions.
