As reported by Dawn, US administration on Tuesday made urgent aid plea for IDPs (Internally displaced persons) in Pakistan. As a consequence of recent Swat operation against Taliban, more than a million people have been reported displaced - the biggest internal displacement ever in the history of Islamic Republic of Pakistan.

The US administration urged Congress on Tuesday to provide immediate assistance to Pakistan to deal with a crisis situation caused by the displacement of more than a million people from their homes in the NWFP.

Also, senior US officials met at White House to decide upon emergency aid to Pakistan.

Frankly, I don’t really trust what I hear from a situation like that until the dust of battle has settled, but one thing is clear: 900,000 refugees have been registered with the UN in that area, and we have a major, major refugee crisis.
