Scars of terrorism still visible in Tirah Valley

Nestled between the picturesque mountains of Khyber Agency but far from its past glory, the beautiful Tirah Valley has been the victim of terrorism for the last ten years.

Although peace has returned to the valley, it still bears the scars of terrorism which people say will take time to overcome. Home to approximately 200,000 people, the damage incurred from years of terrorist activity in Tirah can be seen at every street corner.

While there is a school and hospital, they lack power and communication facilities.

People displaced due to terrorism are beginning to return home but a lack of facilities may force them to leave their home once again.
