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.

Tens of thousands of people in the areas directly affected by the hostilities are in danger, not only because of poor security but also because they are virtually cut off from basic health care.

Displaced people in the Shah Mansoor camp wait to consult a doctor at a health care unit run by the PRCS.
