Additional Information / Shotlist MSF in Sadda and Alizai, Kurram Agency (FATA) Pakistan's Federally-Administered Tribal Area(FATA) has suffered from extreme violence since 2007 when armed militants groups waged a battle to take control of thearea, launching attacks on shia citizens.
The violence spiked in 2010 and 2011 but since then a fragile peace has returned to the area.
Kurram Agency has poor infrastructure and a weak healthcare system, there isa shortage of health facilities and medical specialists working in the area.
MSF has been working in Kurram Agency since 2004, supporting a clinic in Alizai, a Shia area and Sadda, a Sunni area, since May 2006 and is trying to meet the populations' medical needs.
Since 2007, for security reasons and because of a lack of authorization, MSF has been unable to send international staff into the FATA areas. Our activities in Sadda and Alizai are managed from Peshawar and are implemented in the field by our 50 Pakistani colleagues and six Ministry of Health employees.
