As Pakistan and the U.S. continue an escalating campaign of attacks on alleged terrorists, ordinary civilians are running for their lives to escape the ongoing violence that has scarred a generation.
In Pakistan‘s North Waziristan, tens of thousands of people have recently fled to escape the major Pakistani military offense targeting “foreign and local terrorists.”
Arshad Khan, director general of the Federally Administered Tribal Areas Disaster Management Authority, told Agence France-Presse that over 90,000 people have fled North Waziristan since last month.
