People of FR-Peshawar still wait to be recognized as IDPs

FR-Peshawar is situated in South of Peshawar and is a part of FATA. It comprises of 4-sub tribes known as Ashokehl, Hassan Khel, Janakor and Jwaki(Bora and Pastawana).
Militants have captured entire area of Jwaki and they have destroyed about 3 schools out of 7 schools in this area. The destroyed schools consist of one Primary (Boys), One Primary (Girls) and a High School for boys. Almost all the residents of the Bora and Pastawana have left their homes to take shelter in some comparatively safer areas of Peshawar, Nowshera, Zangali, Shamshato, Sharikera, and Karachi. Bora and Pastawana have a population of about 40 thousands. The local say that only few old men have remained there and the rest have left the area. All the displaced people are living with the host families in the said safer areas and some who have no relative are living in rented houses. The displaced people comprise more of women and children because the male members are mostly abroad and earn livelihood. Children out number the displaced population. IDPs(Status still awaited) have left all their belongings at their homes in villages and have come without food items and cash along with them because the fear they sensed there was more and they opted to migrate sooner is better. Now children schooling and providing food to them is a problem for the IDPs(Status awaited). People need food, drinking water, Medicines, Tents, Hygiene, Shelter, Cash, Kitchen utensils, Fans etc.
The season is hot and hard and due to displacement the People have been suffering from the problems. Host families also face problems because their resources are very few and their space is also limited. Each family comprises of more than 15 persons which caused more trouble for the host families and have also created problems for host families.
The IDP(Status awaited) demand for their right to be accepted as IDPs. The government has still not recognized them as IDPs which has multiplied the problems for the people migrated from the restive area.
