Thousands more on the Move in Pakistan

PESHAWAR, Pakistan, June 5 (UNHCR) – An estimated 20,000 more people are believed to be fleeing the conflict areas in and around the Swat Valley in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province (NWFP). They are heading for safer ground in Mardan, Charssada and Peshawar districts. The new exodus follows the lifting of a curfew on the region from 6.00 AM to mid-afternoon Friday. To accommodate the newly displaced, UNHCR is working with local authorities to develop two new camps established earlier this week.
