<p>Before the military operation in North Waziristan which started in June 2014, the
UK had provided £7 million to support internally displaced people in Northern Pakistan.
This helped 400,000 people access safe water and sanitation; supplied 150,000 people
with food packages; and supported over 6,000 families to rebuild their livelihoods.</p><p>
</p><p><br> Since the beginning of the current military operation an additional one
million people have registered as displaced. In response to this the UK has provided
a further £4.7 million. This will support some of the most vulnerable people who have
been identified by our partners in a joint assessment run by the UN and the Government
of Pakistan. We remain in close contact with the Federal Government of Pakistan, the
Provincial Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and all of our partners, including the
EU, to ensure an efficient, coordinated response.</p><p> </p>
