A Pakistani soldier stands guard as a helicopter carrying U.S. Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke takes off from the Shah Mansoor camp for internally displaced persons in Swabi, about 120 km (75 miles) north west of Pakistan's capital Islamabad on June 4, 2009. Visiting a camp on Thursday for families who have fled the conflict in Pakistan's Swat Valley, Holbrooke called on European and Muslim nations to shoulder more of the burden needed to avert a humanitarian crisis.
