Recent statistics reveal that the Pakistani government has deported more than 20,000 Afghan migrants back to their home country in just a single week. These individuals were returned through the Torkham and Spin Boldak border crossings, with the vast majority facing forced expulsions rather than voluntary repatriation.
Simultaneously, reports indicate that nearly two thousand additional Afghan migrants were deported from neighboring Iran during the same timeframe. Refugee affairs officials within the Taliban government have confirmed this significant surge in mass deportations from neighboring countries, adding strain to local resources.
The International Organization for Migration previously highlighted that hundreds of thousands of Afghans have crossed back from Iran and Pakistan earlier this year. The continuous influx of returning families, including vulnerable women and children, is deepening the humanitarian crisis and escalating the need for urgent assistance inside Afghanistan.
