Trucks which will transport families back to their villages drive through the Meira camp for earthquake survivors in the NWFP Pakistan. The Pakistani army which runs the camp has mandated that the camps be cleared by early April despite the fact that many families are afraid or unprepared to return to their devastated homes. The Meira Tent camp (also called Mera or Maria camp) is located on the Indus River in the Battagram district. The camp the largest for displaced people in Pakistan hosts over 21 000 earthquake survivors primarily from the Allai valley in Pakistan's NWFP one of the areas worst-hit by the October 8 2005 earthquake.
