Bunker said: 'A task force has been set up to look into the affairs of resettlement and provision of basic needs, as some other families (displaced families at the relief camps) are eager to go back (to their homes).'

She said agriculture has been badly hit in the conflict area and there is need for short, mid- and long-term assistance for sustainability of the people.

Bunker said people in Swat, Buner and other areas in northwest Pakistan still need assistance to establish their businesses and explore employment opportunities.
