Another refugee setup.
A woman is cooking on hay and many of the charpoys are entirely or partly damaged. The shelters were just enough to lie under at night. This camp appears to be set up on a roadside, with farmlands in the background.
This image is from the collection of F.E. Chaudhry, the only known local Pakistani photographer who captured the events at the time.
