Since May 2, 987,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) fleeing fighting between Pakistani armed forces and Taliban militants have been registered by Pakistani authorities. Theses IDPs join some 550,000 displaced in earlier fighting. The UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Antonio Guterres, described this as “a massive, massive displacement in the world today.” Human Rights Watch considers this the largest displacement of people seen in Pakistan since the partition of India in 1947. Human Rights Watch visited IDP camps in Mardan, Swabi and along the Grand Trunk Road in the North West Frontier Province.
