Pakistani displaced children wait their turn during a food distribution at Jalozai refugee camp in Peshawar, PakistanAbout 126,000 people are daily fleeing fighting in northwest Pakistan in one of the ‘fastest major displacements’ in recent years. Inhibitants continue to leave the areas of conflict between government forces and militants in search of refuge in Mardan, Charsadda, Swabi and Nowshera districts of North West Frontier province and Some 18,000 families -- about 126,000 people -- are registered on average every day in these districts.
The number of displaced people from the Swat, Lower Dir and Buner districts had reached 2.38 million since May 2. It is still difficult to know how many people were still trapped in the conflict zone and this is the reason it is not possible to estimate the potential scale of the displacement.
This is one of the fastest major displacements the world have seen in some years.
