Pakistan
The movement of people forced from their homes and off land by fighting between government and Taliban forces in 2009 was believed to be the largest since 1994. At least 3.5 million people were uprooted by the conflict. ACT members assisted with relief for the displaced people and for communities hosting the influx of families. ACT also responded to the massive earthquake of October 2005 that struck northwestern Pakistan and parts of India along the Kashmir border. Some three million people were left homeless by the earthquake in Pakistan alone. ACT assistance included a winter response programme, psychosocial assistance, capacity building for communities, sustainable livelihood activities and water and sanitation support.
