65 Killed, 400 Homes Destroyed in Pakistan Sectarian Violence
Deadly clashes between Sunni and Shia Muslims in north-west Pakistan have killed 65 people and destroyed 400 homes.
The violence has forced around 300 families to flee their homes in search of safety.
The government and local elders are working to restore peace, but the situation remains critical due to a lack of police and administrative staff.
Demonstrations and sit-ins have been held to protest the violence, and the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan has urged authorities to pay urgent attention to the escalating crisis.
The violence is a result of long-standing discrimination and violence against the Shia community in Sunni-majority Pakistan.
