Some of them will have to return to the rubbles, I know army's resources have been stretched out for reconstruction and building up the infrastructure in the area - but are there any Government plans for this?

Is there also a website we could donate for them?

This is a difficult fight where the enemy hides among civilians. But good job. These people have a huge responsibility on their shoulders to make the area secure, safe and well managed while curbing crime, kidnapping, extortion and terrorism. The region being backward is a reason some of the families do not want to go back. In short those in FATA who can are moving out in droves. But someone has to improve things back at home too. Its a very difficult process. Hope army can improve things and provide education and healthcare by taking the local people of FATA into confidence.
