Pakistan: civilians struggle as fighting continues around them
Some 2.5 million people have fled the fighting in the North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan since early May. They are staying with host families or in camps outside areas directly affected by the fighting, often with extremely limited access to clean water, electricity, medical care and communications.

With families split up by the fighting in Swat, and phone lines down in the region, this man at the Saidu Teaching Hospital is glad for the opportunity to call his family. Several hundred such calls were made in the first week of June 2009, courtesy of the ICRC.
