At the Meira camp for earthquake survivors UNOPS worker interviews a family who is checking out of the camp to return to their mountain village Northwest Frontier Province Pakistan. The Pakistan army has stated that the camps must be vacated by early April-even if families do not feel ready to return. Humanitarian organizations such as UNOPS UNICEF IOM Save the Children and others are monitoring the return- providing vaccinations for children and assistance to those who need it.

The camp the largest for displaced people in Pakistan hosts over 21 000 earthquake survivors primarily Pashtuns from the Allai valley in Pakistan's Northwest Frontier Province one of the areas worst-hit by the October 8 2005 earthquake.
