Conflict in Pakistan

Oxfam is working to reach more than 175,000 people who have been uprooted by a surge in Pakistan's ongoing conflict. Many are now living in crowded camps, but Oxfam and partners will reach out to those living with host families, as well, helping them gain access to clean water, sanitation facilities, hygiene materials, and other essentials.
