“Basically our role is to identify those children who are having some sort of vulnerabilities; if they are having some psycho-social problems; if they have some other legal issues. We are providing our services through PLaCES. Right now we have established 16 PLaCES over here, but due to the on-going emergency, on-going military operation in the area of origin, we are expecting influx of the new IDPs. “

Since the beginning of the year more than 240,000 people – over half of them children – have been registered as displaced from Khyber Agency, in volatile north-west Pakistan.
Children in particular are at an increased risk for psychological distress, disrupted educations, disease and malnutrition.
This year UNICEF and partners have screened an estimated 35,316 displaced children under age 5 and more than 17,116 pregnant and lactating women have been screened for acute malnutrition.
Thirty-year-old Nasrata arrived at Jalozai camp with her husband and ten-month-old daughter Madina. At the camp’s UNICEF-supported nutrition centre Madina was diagnosed as malnourished.

“My daughter is very weak and she is not recovering from her illness. When I make her sit on the floor, she falls. I bought her here to see a doctor who started treating her.”
Through therapeutic food and monitoring, Madina’s condition has now improved.
UNICEF also supports 15 school camps that provides nearly 6,000 children with continued education amidst an uncertain future.

As the camp population continues to grow, the capacity to deliver humanitarian services in reaching its limits. UNICEF needs an additional US$37.2 million for displaced, vulnerable children and women living in camps like Jalozai and in nearby host communities to ensure sustain and scale up its humanitarian assistance in the region.
