Shelter Centre

World Vision Middle East/Eastern Europe/ Central Asia office Poor communities in Pakistan’s northwest are hosting up to two million people uprooted by recent violence in the region. Aid agency World Vision warns these communities – already among the poorest in the world – may join those displaced in days as their assets are sold to help those in need. “Families have provided refuge for up to 90 percent of those escaping the fighting,” said Graham Strong, World Vision’s Country Director in Pakistan.
