returnees

The High Commission for Addressing Refugee Affairs says that around 7,061 Afghan refugees have been expelled from Iran and Pakistan and returned to Afghanistan.

Nearly two billion afghanis were spent on addressing the situation of returnees in the country during the past one month, an official said on Thursday.

More than 5,000 returnees from Iran have been registered to be introduced to employment agencies for job opportunities in western Herat province, officials said on Tuesday.

A meeting of the Security and Settlement Commission has emphasized reaching out to returning Afghan refugees with ‘compassion and complete sincerity’ and providing them with comprehensive security and necessary facilities.

As the deportation of Afghan migrants from Iran intensifies, thousands of exhausted returnees are arriving back in Afghanistan — bringing with them heartbreaking stories of pain, suffering, and unspoken hardship.

Acting Minister of Transport and Civil Aviation Maulvi Hamdiullah Akhundzada says Afghan returnees from Iran would be transferred to their respective provinces without any delay or shortcomings.

A number of families forcibly deported from Pakistan and Iran to the southern province of Ghazni complain about lack of shelter and want the government to provide them land plots.
