活動報告 ①音読スキット (引用開始) AZUZ: And in Pakistan, the government has launched a major offensive against the Taliban, after dropping out of a peace agreement that it says the militant group broke weeks ago. Thousands of troops are involved in this military action. Ivan Watson explores the impact of the fighting on Pakistanis who are trying to just get away from the violence. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) IVAN WATSON, CNN CORRESPONDENT, PAKISTAN: Expect to see more scenes like this in the days to come: A family of 18, tired, scared, confused, trudging into one of the new refugee camps sprouting up across northwest Pakistan. A guard shows them an empty tent and they move in. SALAR KHAN, PAKISTANI REFUGEE [TRANSLATED]: "We left this morning. Our village was being mortared," says one of the men of the family. "A big piece of shrapnel almost pierced my child's leg." WATSON: Five days ago, this was just an empty field. It is filling by the hour, as tens of thousands of Pakistanis flee south to escape the fighting. Meanwhile, columns of Pakistani troops are headed north. This conflict is escalating; an already existing humanitarian crisis is getting worse. These are the ruins of what up until a few years ago was a camp for refugees from neighboring Afghanistan. The Afghans are gone, but officials say now more then 49,000 Pakistanis live here. They are just a fraction of the more than half a million people uprooted by the war between Pakistani soldiers and Taliban militants over the last six months. The natives at Jalozai camp are getting restless. They are angry because the monthly distribution of food aid is a few days late. PAKISTANI REFUGEE [TRANSLATED]: "Our houses have been destroyed," this man explains. "All we have now are the clothes on our back." WATSON: It takes a few bags of flour to calm people down. The United Nations predicts this camp's population will nearly double when the next wave of displaced Pakistanis arrive. PR |
