An internally displaced woman, fleeing military operations in Buner, sits after getting sacks of flour from a distribution center in Swabi district, about 150 km (85 miles) northwest of Islamabad May 7, 2009. Security forces launched an offensive on April 26, 2009 to expel militants from two of Swat's neighbouring districts, Dir and Buner. Up to 38,000 people have been displaced from Swat and nearby areas since fighting flared last month, provincial authorities said on May 6, 2009, adding that up to 800,000 people could flee from the valley, which has a population of about 1.6 million.
