Three weeks of air strikes forced more than 260,000 residents to flee the region; many ended up in squalid camps. They have turned their wrath on the government, not on the militants who are fighting it. "We are sandwiched between security forces and the Taliban," says Fazl Sadiq, 30, who is staying in a camp. He claims that the air strikes have killed more civilians than militants. "If the government does not halt its indiscriminate killing...
