A report about Pakistani refugees in Afghanistan who have fled the anti-Taleban offensive, from Gulan Camp, “a stretch of rough stones and reed bushes in the Gorbuz district of Khost, just a few miles from the border” where about 3000 families live, according to UNHCR, 65 percent of them children. “Most families came on foot, and often fled in haste with few belongings. Many tell the same story: a public warning by the Pakistani Army giving them three days to leave their homes, desperate negotiations as elders tried to win permission for civilians to stay, and then the terror of the artillery and aerial bombardments of their villages.”
