Crisis Description

Monsoon Floods (Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh):

Monsoon floods occurred in Pakistan in September, affecting more than 5 million people, according to the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA). Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh provinces were the hardest-hit provinces.

Population Movement (KP/FATA):

In north-western Pakistan, 774,594 people remain displaced across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) as a result of ongoing security operations and sectarian violence. Eleven per cent of the internally displaced people (IDPs) are in three camps (Jalozai, Togh Sarai and New Durrani) and 89 percent in host communities. More than 411,873 people have been displaced from FATA to KP since January 2012, yet only 49,000 people have returned to safe areas in FATA during the same period, with most people returning to Kurram and South Waziristan.
