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.

The ICRC evacuated wounded patients from Swat to its surgical hospital in Peshawar.

The organization supplied the Saidu Teaching Hospital and the Kwaz Khela civillian hospital, in Mingora, with a generator and fuel to restore their access to electricity. It also delivered food, medical supplies, medicine and bandages for over 10,000 patients.
