GENEVA – Some 25,000 people have fled in just a week from the Tribal Areas following a military campaign launched against the militants, a UN official said on Friday. Should the fighting intensify against the insurgents in the region, up to 90,000 people could be driven out of their homes by the end of February, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spokesman Adrian Edwards said.
The UN built two new camps to host people fleeing the Sagi and Dawezai areas since the military campaign intensified on January 27,” Edwards said.
