PRCS (NHQ) Sit-Rep (4) (IDPs Response Operations) Dated. 3rd July, 2014

Background-Situation

1. As a result of the recently announced full fledge military operation in North Waziristan Agency of Federally Administered Tribal Area (FATA), a large number of families have been displaced to the settled districts of KP. District being the neighboring settled district with NWA, has received majority of the influx. The Government has imposed curfew on North Waziristan – Bannu road, as such, no new registrations have taken place since 24 June. So the accumulated figure remains same as 24th June 2014. The number of people displaced from North Waziristan Agency (NWA) 38,296 Families (470,336 Ind) , with more than 74 per cent of them women and children (males: 123,290, females: 148,244 and children 198,802). Out of these displaced population only 45 families decided to stay in Bakka khel Camp. Most of them proceeded towards District Bannu while some of them moved towards Karak, Lakki Marwat, Kohat, Fateh Jhang, Jhand, Tala Gang, Peshawar and Rawalpindi.. (Source: FDMA). 2. The information compiled up to date by UNOCHA, shows that around 70% of the families in displacement are carrying their animals (poultry, small and large ruminants) with them. Some of the families have managed to transport them in vehicles, but others have done it by foot, due to the high prices asked by transporters. This has led to the death of some animals during the displacement.

The insurgents reported here are more extremists and anti-government than that of Malakand. (Source of information: Informal statements by District Police Officer Bannu) 11.
