Govt was quick to BS like this :

has not launched any appeal to international community for assistance and help to meet expenditures being incurred on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) due to the operation in North Waziristan.

Pakistan would meet the requirements of these IDPs from its own resources and had not made any appeal to international community for financial assistance in this regard.
She explained that
on the instructions of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, the government had not asked for any international assistance as military operation was an internal issue and the it was the responsibility of the government to meet their requirements.
The spokesperson said Pakistan had received good and positive response from the international community on the operation in North Waziristan.
She however said,
"Pakistan has not called for any international assistance as IDPs are our responsibility and we will meet their requirements through our own resources."
She said Pakistan was in close contact with Moscow and Beijing regarding the operation in North Waziristan.
Replying to a question, the spokesperson said after the 2005 earthquake, Pakistan indicated to the United Nations for its requirements to help in rescue and relief operation and international community extended its help through UN.

On the issue of Indian government's intimation to United Nations Military Observer Group for India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) in New Delhi to vacate its office, the spokesperson said this move can not change Pakistan's stance that Kashmir was still a disputed territory.
