As a result of continuing military operations against the Taliban, about 2 million people were forced to flee the fighting scenes in the Swat Valley.
Most of the refugees have found shelter at their relatives, but more than 160,000 people were left homeless and sought refuge in the camp, organized by the UN.
It's a pity for the poor people who aren’t responsible for all of this…
