Pakistan Army Displaces Tirah Valley Residents

Pakistan Army Displaces Tirah Valley Residents

The Pakistani Army is moving people from a valley called Tirah in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The government says people are moving on their own, but many residents and activists say they are being forced to leave.

Around 80,000 people have already left for Peshawar, the capital of the province.

The journey is difficult because of heavy snow and freezing temperatures.

The government is giving some money to help, but many people say it's not enough.

There have been some deaths during the move.

The Army wants to clear the valley of militants, but many people are upset and say the government is not helping enough.
