Two million Pakistanis long for home
Author: World Vision
By Chris Webster of World Vision's Global Rapid Response Team
I've just returned from working in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province where more than two million people are longing to return home after being forced from their homes and villages by ongoing violence.
They are caught in the crossfire as government forces fight insurgents. Seven weeks since the conflict erupted, the frontline is now shifting towards another troubled part of Pakistan on the Afghan border in South Waziristan.

Pakistan's generous hosts on the brink

Access to Gaza calls for bridges of reconciliation
Author: World Vision

This blog is written by Pamela Sitko, World Vision, Asia Pacific communications
The long, dark night of May 2 will forever be etched in the mind of 16 year-old Maung Khin Win. He survived Cyclone Nargis, which tore the roofs off homes, wrapped fishing boats around coconut trees and claimed the lives of tens of thousands of people. He says the days following Nargis have been almost as hard.
