Pakistan is exposed to internal conflicts since 2001.
There is significant Displacement & Return in KP/ FATA as a result of government operations against non-state armed groups.

1.1 million people are still displaced in safer areas of KP/ FATA
Influx/Returns of IDPs have resulted in humanitarian crises which are beyond the capacity of the government to manage on its own.
