Home is somewhere else
Here they can be children – despite the war: in the early summer of 2009, the four boys and the girl play in a river near the refugee camp of Yar Hussein, about 100 km west of the Pakistani capital Islamabad. The camp has become a home for them – as well as for 10,000 other refugees. Their actual home lies in Pakistan's north-western Swat Valley, but there Pakistani forces are battling the Taliban.
Every day, hundreds of new refugees arrive at the already overcrowded camp. New camps are set up everywhere in the region. The conflict in Pakistan has so far produced about 2.5 million refugees.
Living in India, Australian photographer Daniel Berehulak shows the everyday life of women, men and families in the refugee camps. He has documented the conflict in Pakistan for two years.
