IRT sends Emergency Aid to Displaced Families
in Pakistan

Intense fighting between militant groups and the Pakistani forces in and around the Swat Valley have forced thousands of families to flee their homes and find refuge in makeshift camps. The number of displaced persons is expected to reach 800,000 in the coming days. IRT is working collaboratively with its local partners to provide emergency medicines, medical supplies, and health services to families fleeing the violence.
