Internally displaced children, fleeing military operations in Buner, stand in a queue for tea at a UNHCR camp (United Nations High Commission for Refugees) in Takht Bai , about 150 km (85 miles) north west of Pakistan's capital Islamabad, May 9, 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.
