In October 2008, following an operation by the Pakistan Army to flush out Islamic extremists from the Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Swat, large areas of dense population at the center of the province were evacuated.
\nThe Internal Displacement Monitoring Center (IDMC) of the Norwegian Refugee Council estimated that between 2.7 to 3 million people were displaced. By July 2009, 50% of the IDPs had returned to their homes, the rest remained displaced. By November 2009 it was estimated that the total number of displaced people was close to 428,000.
\nIDP camps were spread all over the KPK province from Madran to Charsadda and from Malakand to Islamabad. The estimated cost of temporary shelters and rehabilitation was US$ 500 million.
\nPakistan responded by establishing 11 large camps in the areas of D.I. Khan, Malakand, Mardan and Noshera regions.<\/p>\n
