Background:

In March 2013, renewed fighting between two groups of non state actors resulted in displacement of at least 17,140 families into different parts of Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) i.e. Peshawar, Kohat, Hangu, FR Peshawar, FR Kohat and Khyber, Nowshera, Kurram and Orakzai agencies. The Provincial Disaster Management Authority (PDMA) and FATA Disaster Management Authority (FDMA) requested the humanitarian community to provide immediate life-saving support for the affected people. From March 29 – May 6, 2013, approximately 17,140 families have been registered by UNHCR and partners, in New Durrani and Jarma (Kohat) registration and assistance hubs. Registration was then closed for the election period. The majority of the displaced population fled to Kurram Agency; Orakzai Agency, Nowshera, Kohat, Hangu, Frontier Region (FR) Peshawar, and Khyber Agency. Six percent of the displaced populations are residing in camps (Jalozai Camp 87 families and New Durrani Camp 1,010 families).
