Can I Help?

NB: This page was originally started in May 2009, around the issue of people displaced by military operations in Swat. It needs to have Swat-specific information moved to another page, and the information here made more general.
The Affected Area

This page is devoted to the issue of Internally-Displaced People within Pakistan. There is a separate page (or will be) about Refugees. We are anticapting information from Northern Pakistan, Balochistan and from areas where displaced people have ended up, like Karachi, Lahore, etc.

Secretary Clinton: Text Your Disaster Relief Donation for Pakistan
DipNote (State Department blog) post:

At a White House press briefing this morning, Secretary Clinton addressed the humanitarian crisis in Pakistan, announcing a pledge of more than $100 million in humanitarian support.

Secretary Clinton said, "Pakistan is facing a major humanitarian crisis. Approximately 2 million people have fled their homes, and Pakistan's government, their military, and relief organizations are working to meet the needs of these displaced persons. So many are finding refuge with family members, or in schools or mosques; they are relying on the generosity of relatives and friends. And I'm confident that Pakistan's institutions and citizens will succeed in confronting this humanitarian challenge if the international community steps up and provides the support that is needed. ... Providing this assistance is not only the right thing to do, but we believe it is essential to global security and the security of the United States, and we are prepared to do more as the situation demands."

The Secretary also invited the American people to join in the world-wide effort to bring stability to Pakistan: "Now, Americans can use technology to help, as well. Using your cell phones, Americans can text the word 'swat' -- to the number 20222 and make a $5 contribution that will help the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees provide tents, clothing, food, and medicine to hundreds of thousands of affected people. And before I came over here, we did that in the State Department. So we are making some of the first donations to this fund."
