| IDPs-A Humanitarian Response |
| In response to the unfolding human tragedy as hundreds of thousands of people flee the conflict areas of the Malakand region, the Foundation initiated its: IDPs – A Humanitarian Response. |
|
The Malakand region is 29,872 sq.km and covers one-third of the total area of NWFP. It consists of six districts: Chitral, Upper Dir, Lower Dir, Shangla, Buner, and Swat and the Malakand agencies. Its estimated population is 5.52 million.
|
| Who Will It Reach |
| Nearly 85% of the estimated 2 million people displaced by the conflict have taken refuge in public schools and other shelters. These off-camp IDPs do not have adequate access to food and other relief items that are distributed in camps that are few in numbers and are already overcrowded. The Foundation’s initial focus is to reach off-camp IDPs in selected schools (that serve as mini-camps providing refuge to 50-150 families) in upto 12 union councils of Mardan and Swabi. |
| What Support Will It Provide |
|
In each school the Foundation will provide food and water, and other essential items like floor mats, hand fans, soaps, etc. The following are details of relief items per family (average family size is 7) and per school (estimated 50 families per school):
