The Dawar tribe trails behind with 27pc, while the Afridi tribe accounts for 26pc of the cases so far this year.

Officials however also admit that, besides the given numbers, there exist a large number of cases which still need to be analysed.
They also endorse the statistics saying the tribes living in North Waziristan, parts of South Waziristan as well as Khyber agency are among the most affected population of Fata and KP.
