Kashmiri children wait outside their homes at the semi-permanent Manyak
Payyan refugee camp outside the town of Muzaffarabad, the capital of
Pakistan-held Kashmir, June 1, 2002. Amnesty International says 34,000
people have died in Kashmir as a result of the conflict between
Pakistan and India. Around 1,200 civilians, it says, have fallen victim
in the last year alone, killed by militants, security forces or as a
result of shelling and sniping by the two armies along the frontline.
