The crisis facing the people of Pakistan’s Swat Valley has been all over the papers this month – but it’s hard to keep up with the who, what, when and why of a disaster which has now caused the largest displacement of people Pakistan has ever seen. This week Ryneisha, Hannah, Amye and Erana ask what could possibly cause more than two million people to flee their homes; where they’ve ended up; and who’s looking after them until they’re able to go home. They also take a closer look at the role aid agencies like World Vision are playing in helping support and shelter those who have been displaced and minimising the impact of the conflict on children; and provide a deeper insight into the huge funding gap aid that needs to be closed so NGOs can go ahead with their work in the region.
