PAKISTAN: Photo of the Week
Pakistan, 2011: Children gaze at the camera while in the background, tents dot the landscape of the Nahqi camp. Children constitute nearly sixty percent of the displaced population residing in Nahqi camp in conflict-affected Mohmand Agency, in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas.
Some 5,530 families were registered as displaced due to insecurity. The families, with an average family size of six people, have been registered in two IDP camps. Around 1,600 families have returned to their home areas.
UNICEF has been providing emergency health, nutrition, WASH, education and child protection support to displaced children and women. Implementing partners are now providing clean drinking water, sanitation, non-food items and hygiene awareness. UNICEF is also supporting health services, including two labour rooms and an ambulance service. Some 15,813 children were vaccinated against measles and 8,884 vaccinated against polio. Ten Child Friendly Spaces have been established in the two camps and two tented schools set up. With some families now returning to their areas of origin, early recovery interventions will be needed.
