Sad Story of IDPs - III

A brother and sister sleep side-by-side on the floor of a packed classroom at a primary school in Baghdada, Mardan. After the camps in Mardan reached capacity, thousands of fleeing families found shelter with locals and in the 
town's schools.

A young boy walks through clouds of smoke as the Sheikh Shehzad camp is fumigated against mosquitoes at dusk. The camp on the outskirts of Mardan is now home to thousands of families fleeing Swat and Buner
