The UN had only received three per cent of around $58 million it needed for what it calls ‘early recovery’ projects – the provision of food as well as the restoration of schools, hospitals and water supply systems, UN Humanitarian Coordinator in Pakistan Martin Mogwanja told a press conference. The United Nations estimated more than two-thirds of the 2.7 million displaced by the conflict had gone home. The estimate is the highest yet, and based on data provided by the government.
(...) ‘Eighty per cent of the people surveyed ... are of the opinion they would not be able to survive without any assistance in the return areas for more than two weeks,’ said Mr Mogwanja.
