Country Policy and Information Note Pakistan: Internal relocation

A report said that Significant population displacements began in 2008 due to militant activities and military operations in KP and the former FATA region in Pakistan. As security conditions improved, many people started returning to their homes. The government, along with UN agencies like UNHCR, UNICEF, and the UN World Food Program, worked together to assist and protect those affected by the conflict. These displaced individuals typically lived with host families, in rented accommodations, or, to a lesser extent, in camps. Some internally displaced persons (IDPs) settled in informal settlements located outside of cities such as Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Peshawar, Lahore, and Karachi.
