Girls returning to the Swat valley region give water to their goat as they wait with hundreds of other vehicles looking to cross a check-point in Malakand district, about 170 km (106 miles) north west by road of Pakistan's capital Islamabad on July 17, 2009. Hundreds of vehicles stood in gridlock as some two million people displaced two months ago by the army's assault on Taliban militants made their way back to their homes in the Swat valley for the fifth day.
