Internally displaced men wait for food and supply rations at a UNHCR (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) camp in Takht Bai, about 150 km (85 miles) northwest of Pakistan's capital Islamabad May 8, 2009. The struggle in the scenic northwestern Swat Valley, which has caused an exodus of refugees fleeing the violence, has become a test of Pakistan's resolve to fight a growing Taliban insurgency that has alarmed the United States.
