  • People of Bannu open their hearts and homes to IDPs

    BANNU: North Waziristan’s internally displaced persons (IDPs) are being treated as anything but strangers in Bannu, where tens of thousands of them have shifted to escape the ongoing military operation in their hometowns.

    Residents of Bannu have welcomed them into their homes, without question, to help them in their time of need. In the town of Goriwala in Bannu, one Ali Khan erected a wall in his house to make room for incoming IDP families.

    One such family is Hukumullah Khan’s, who have settled into Ali’s home. Sporting a long beard, a prayer cap and a humble expression, Ali said, “These are our Muslim brothers and are in need of great help.”

    “I have given them the place to stay so that Allah gives me the reward for this noble act and it’s also in our culture to be hospitable,” Opening the doors of his home to dozens of IDPs, Ali added.

    Hukumullah said that his family is well looked after and are served cooked meals everyday.

    The total number of IDPs in Bannu is now equivalent to the entire population of in Bannu itself. Ninety per cent of these IDPs are staying in the homes of Bannu’s residents.

      Yet there were some people in bannu who raised house rents from 5 thousands to 30 thousands for IDPs, and there were truck drivers from bannu who were charging poor IDPs 60 thousands to 1 lakh rupees for a trip, so many families traveled on foot. It is great sacrifice of bannu to bear the weight of more than half million IDPs, but dont forget that bannu is a poor and backward area and there are also greedy and oppurtunist people in such societies specially in their urban areas. Peshawer raises house rents for IDPs, every time.
