Islamabad, July 10 - Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the international community should come forward to help the displaced people in the country's northwest battered by the war against the Taliban.

The displaced people in the Malakand Division will start returning to their homes from July 13 onwards, the Online news agency said Thursday citing the Pakistani leader.

Gilani made the remarks during a meeting at his home with the visiting British Foreign Secretary David Miliband.

He also stressed the need to train and equip local law enforcement officials who would take over the security of the area after the military offensives against the militants are completed.

The prime minister said although the global community had promised to help Pakistan in rehabilitating the displaced people, it is yet to receive the funds.
