Aid agencies have said they need to reach more than 100,000 refugees leaving the region
The country's Jalozai refugee camp, 35km southwest of Peshawar, houses nearly 4,000 people
The government of Pakistan says that nobody will be forced home and that they can stay as long as they want
Refugees need to register before they receive aid supplies
After registering, they head back to one of the thousands of tents with precious aid packages
Those in the camp are considered fortunate relative to those trapped in the conflict zone
The army has closed off all roads to the region, but refugees are still fleeing South Waziristan and reaching the camp
Aid agencies fear that, as the fighting escalates, people will be without food and shelter
Meanwhile, as the fighting continues, refugees in Jalozai remain tired, hungry and homeless
