VOICES FROM THE FIELDTHE IRC BLOG
Pakistan's humanitarian crisis [Interview]

The IRC's Mike Young spoke with the Council on Foreign Relations today about the plight of hundreds of thousands of civilians forced to flee Pakistan's aggressive military campaign against the Taliban in the Swat, Buner and Lower Dir districts of the North West Frontier Province.
Mike told CFR that the situation is deteriorating, with projections of 1.8 million displaced -- a number that could significantly rise if the fighting widens or intensifies. You can read the interview here.
