KABUL (Pajhwok): The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) says 858,170 Afghans returned to Afghanistan and 532,854 others left the country in the past three months.
In its latest quarterly report, IOM said: “From April to the end of June 2024, DTM counted 858,170 individuals entering Afghanistan, 532,854 leaving Afghanistan and interviewed 81,292 regarding their reasons for movement and intentions.”
The following report provides findings from DTM’s flow monitoring exercises for the second quarter of 2024, examining trends and profiles among inflow and outflow groups to inform better-targeted response mechanisms.
IOM Afghanistan re-launched its DTM flow monitoring (FM) activity at the beginning of 2024 to provide critical insights into current mobility dynamics at Afghanistan’s borders.
DTM was able to expand flow monitoring to five more crossing points in this quarter, compared to the last quarter.
Operations at new crossing points were started at various times throughout the reporting period, which include Abu Nasr Farahi, Dak, Bahramcha, Angor Adda and Pathan.
As a result, the total flow figures in this report do not necessarily represent the total flows at these crossing points for the entirety of the reporting period.
Additionally, all assessed border points fall into two categories: those connected to the National Highway, or “main” crossing points, which include Islam Qala, Milak, Spin Boldak, and Torkham, and those not connected to the National Highway, which include the five new border points and Ghulam Khan.
