Since 2008, more than 5 million people from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) have been registered as displaced. At the start of 2014, 970,000 people were displaced.

The military operation in the North Waziristan Agency (NWA) in June 2014 led to further displacements of more than half a million people. The National Database and Registration Authority (NADRA) has verified nearly 74,400 families displaced from NWA.

Since the commencement of a security operation in Bara on 16 October 2014, 80,100 families have been displaced. This includes mix of old and new dispalced. As the operation is ongoing, the number of the displaced is increasing.

Approximately 6,657 displaced families are currently residing in three IDP camps (New Durrani,
Jalozai and Togh Sarai) while a larger majority of the displaced families are residing in hosting commuities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province.

Seventy eight percent of the displaced are women and children.

The winterization kits are critical for the displaced with the onset of winter.

Estimated 114,000 families living in host communities are in urgent need of winterized items. USD 5.7 million is required and unless funding is received immediately, these families will be exposed to harsh colds and extreme weather conditioins which may results in loss of lives.
