Internally displaced persons (IDPs) are observing the first day of fasting today, when they are seen standing in long queues for hours in scorching summer heat waiting to obtain their rations. IDPs said that living in tents in hot humid weather they are very much missing their own sweet homes especially at the advent of Ramazan-ul-Mubarak.
