Impact of Zrb-e-Azab on Pakistan’s Economy

Introduction:
Zarb e azab was a joint military campaign which was led by Pakistan Armed Forces
under the supervision of Chief of Army Raheel Sharif against several activist and
militant groups including Tehrik-e- Taliban Pakistan. The operation was introduced on
15 June 2014 in North Waziristan along the Pakistan Afghan Border as a restored effort
against militancy in the of 8 June attack on Jinnah International Airport in Karachi, for
which Tehrik-e-Taliban and IMU claimed their responsibility .

30,000 soldiers participated in the war in North West Pakistan. The operation was fully
supported by Pakistan’s political, civil and defense sectors. The operation was followed
by Radd-ul-Fasad operation which recently began in February 2017 due to terrorist
attacks.

It is the biggest operation in the history of Pakistan. ISPR gave an active response to
this operation.

Need of the time:

Thousands of people have fled from their homes and have migrated temporarily to safe
places. United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees termed such people as IDPS
(Internally displaced persons). These IDPs went through a tough time due to rough
weather & the starting of the holy month of Ramadan. Since Pakistan Army was more
engaged in military operation and its support to IDPS was inadequate in giving medical
supplies and basic needs. Due to it different types of Aid camps have been established
in different cities of Pakistan where people were giving donations for these IDPs.
