Mental health and income generation among top concerns for Pakistan’s newly displaced, according to an International Medical Corps survey


July 2, 2009, Los Angeles, Calif. – In a recent assessment of displaced persons living in Chota Lahore Camp (Yar Hussain Mera) in Swabi District, Pakistan, International Medical Corps found that financial hardship and depression are two of the most pressing issues facing the displaced. The assessment, which involved focus groups of displaced males and females between 10 and 60 years of age, also found that the majority of displaced are eager to return home, but fear doing so for lack of resources to rebuild their lives.
