SWAT IN CRISIS - URGENT AID NEEDED
One million people have fled or are fleeing the SWAT valley as the Pakistani military offensive against the Taliban continues. The innocent, as usual, are the ones worst hit. Internal refugees in the hundreds of thousads are occupying camps and are in desperate need of urgent assistance.
The Pakistani military campaign in the SWAT valley has displaced hundreds of thousands of innocent men, women and children. In an area of exisiting abstract poverty, people have been forced to leave what little possessions they have, trying to save the lives of their families. As part of the campaign, the military have shut down electricity and water supplies - leaving the innocent, caught between the two sides, with little choice but to leave.
'Our team has extensive experience from the earthquake, floods and droughts --- yet this crisis has a complication of its own as the conflict is ongoing. We are seeing scores of refugees arriving in the camps. We are doing all we can but need more support quickly.' Dr Hamza Mustafai, ATI, Pakistan Country Director
We are not wealthy people. I’ve had to leave what little I owned in order to save the lives of my wife and children. We have nothing to do with this conflict. It always seems to be people like us that are worse off when others decide to fight................ we just want to go home. My children miss their school and I do not even know if I have a home left standing to return to. Please help us !! Internal refugee

GAZA BURNING
OVER 1000 DEAD AND MANY THOUSANDS INJURED - THE PLIGHT OF THE PALESTINIAN PEOPLE NEVER SEEMS TO END!!!!
Despite existing shortages of food, medicine, fuel and the most basic of supplies - the new onslaught in January left over 1000 people dead, tens of thousands injured and many more without basics. Hospitals were and are still over-run. Food is also in short supply and people are despirate.
"It has been bad in the past, but this is worse than ever. People are scared and hungry. The attacks seemed to have been well planned. We feel like we have been abandoned by everyone. We know this isn't really the case but that's how we feel. No-one seems to be able to help us. Please help us"
"Everyone is effected: women, children and the elderly too. Aid was delivered through windows of opportunity as they occured at the time of the onslaught but now we are getting through, alhamdulillah. We need more first aid kits, medicines, food and clean water" ATI team
