Tirah, located in Pakistan’s Khyber district, affected and displaced families at a relief camp

Families are loading their belongings onto vehicles in Khyber Bara Agency, Pakistan, on January 20, 2026. Displaced residents are registering at biometric counters set up by the KP government to receive compensation and monthly financial assistance after evacuating areas affected by the planned security operation. Thousands of families are evacuating Pakistan’s Tirah Valley as authorities are preparing a targeted military operation against TTP militants. The displacement, expected to affect up to 20,000 families, is straining local infrastructure. In Tirah, located in Pakistan’s Khyber district, affected and displaced families at a relief camp are being provided with cash assistance by the government. To ensure transparency and organized distribution, a computerized receipt and token system is being introduced. Tirah Valley is situated in the border region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, where law and order conditions often remain unstable. In recent days, security operations are being launched following clashes between the Pakistan Army and militant elements, due to which civilians are being instructed to evacuate the area and move to safer locations.
