Help IDP from Swat, Dir and Buner


A Situation that demands attention. There is a massive exodus of people being evacuated from Swat, Buner and Dir due to the Army Operation against militants that have established themselves in these areas. I don't think this is the time to argue about our opinions on the Army operation, its time we step up and help our fellow countrymen, its estimated that 150K-200K people have already been displaced and another 300K expected to arrive to safer areas. Here are a few links that might be helpful if you are looking to do your part:

UNHCR

Helping Hands

Salvation Army

Here is a list I got from chowrangi blog

Al-Khidmat Foundation 

Edhi Foundation 

SUNGI: Who to contact [link], where to donate [link]. 

Islamic Relief USA

Oxfam - GB 

Plan International 

International Medical Corps 

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) 

Church World Service 

Emergency Response Unit

Life Savers Organization

If anyone has any organization or any other way in mind to help please let me know.
