In the wake of military operation in the northwestern tribal area of North Waziristan Agency (NWA), FATA province, huge influx of people fleeing from the NWA has resulted in serious humanitarian crises. On 26 June, the Pakistani army also began ground assaults, heightening the threat to civilians. The region has been targeted with shelling and air raids, and at least 456,000 people, including nearly 200,000 children (42%), fled ahead of or during the ground assaults. Priorities for humanitarian assistance in response to needs include protection, food, shelter, health, water, sanitation and hygiene. The number of internally displaced people has already crossed the figure 455,000 with over 110,941 females, 151, 332, children and 92,790 males. Over 380,000 people have been evacuated in a week.

IDPs

The operation propels large number of displacements from neighbor districts of Bannu, Lakki Marwat, Karak, Dera Ismail Khan, and kohat in Khayber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The majority of IDPs are women (32%) and children (42%). The displaced people are facing hardships due to security restrictions, lack of transport and inflate fares. The displaced families urgently required relief.
