The Pakistani government has officially declared Parachinar, a Shia-majority area in the Kurram tribal district, a "disaster-hit" region.
This declaration comes as the area continues to face violence perpetrated by pro-Takfiri militants, which has led to an acute shortage of essential commodities and healthcare services due to prolonged road closures.
