A young girl, internally displaced due to the Pakistan Army's offensive against the Taliban in Swat, looks on as her brother puts a block of ice in her mouth at the Yar Hussain relief camp in Chota Lahore on May 20, 2009 in Swabi, Pakistan. Over 3 million people were believed to have been displaced as a result of military operations against the Taliban in Pakistan. Over 150,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDP's) fled Swat, Buner and Lower Dir, faced harsh living conditions for months in camps before being able to return to their homes.
