In Pakistan, the Pakistani government has confirmed media reports up to seventy-one civilians were killed in a weekend military strike near the Afghan border. Most of the victims are said to have died when Pakistani jets bombed a house where dozens had gathered to help the wounded from an earlier attack. A Pakistani government said the military was acting on wrong intelligence. The attack comes as part of the Pakistani government’s ongoing US-backed military offensives against Taliban-linked militants. On Monday, the United Nations said over 200,000 civilians have recently fled northwest Pakistan to escape the fighting. The UN says it’s facing a major funding shortfall to aid the displaced, having received only 20 percent of a $538 million appeal.
