War on terror or war of terror
Abstract
Sandwiched between bullets and bacteria, children
fleeing North Waziristan (NW) are paying an undue
price. Worse than the National average of under 5 mortality
rate (87.0 per 1000 live birth), population under 15
(35 %), Gender Equity Index (123 of 186) and female
above 15 being illiterate (55 %), catastrophic epidemics
can emerge in conflict affected North Waziristan IDPs.
Being worse part of a country where major causes of
high neonatal, infant and under-5 mortality rates are
malnutrition, diarrhea, acute respiratory illness and
other communicable vaccine prevented diseases,1 what
picture capture your mind thinking of the IDP camps?
