FACTBOX - The crisis over Pakistanis displaced by fighting

(Reuters) - Pakistan will start bringing people displaced by fighting between security forces and Taliban militants in the northwestern Swat Valley back home from July 13, Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani said on Thursday.

Following are some facts about the displaced.

- About 2 million people have fled from their homes because of the fighting, most since late April from the Swat valley and neighbouring districts.

- The U.N. refugee agency says it is grappling with one of the largest, fastest and most complex operations it has faced in years.

- Most of the displaced are living with family or friends in "host communities", but about 280,000 are in more than 20 tented camps on the lowland below Swat.

- The government, the army, the United Nations and other aid agencies are helping people in the camps, those staying with "host communities", and the hosts, most of whom are also poor.

- The United Nations has received $223 million in response to a $543 million (334.3 million pounds) aid appeal it launched in May in a bid to avert a long-term humanitarian crisis.

- Authorities have said it is safe for people to return to Buner district, to the southeast of Swat, and about 55,000 families, or about 380,000 people, have gone back there, the government agency overseeing relief efforts said.

- Gilani said the government had taken measures to ensure security and restore utilities and infrastructure, however, he cautioned that sporadic incidents of violence could not be ruled out, as there are still daily clashes in parts of the valley.
