Help our Internally Displaced Brethren (IDPs)
The latest official UN figures record in excess of 500.000 internally displaced people (IDPs) in NWFP. Unofficial estimates from Local Government officials today describe up-to one million people as being displaced, of which approximately 80 per cent are not in camps. The increasing security risks have reduced the ability of humanitarian agencies to respond effectively just as the need for support by the affected population has increased.
