Alia, an internally displaced girl who fled a military offensive in South Waziristan, sits next to her brother who is cooking tea to sell to other internally displaced persons at a registration point in Dera Ismail Khan, located in Pakistan's restive North West Frontier Province October 21, 2009. The Pakistan government needs to finish off Taliban militants once and for all in an offensive on their South Waziristan stronghold or risk them returning stronger and in greater numbers, residents say. About 32,000 people have fled South Waziristan in the past week, joining 80,000 who left since May, a United Nations refugee agency said on Wednesday.
