Nearly 4,000 Afghan migrants deported from Iran and Pakistan in a day
Following the deportation of Afghan migrants from Iran and Pakistan, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation reported that nearly 4,000 Afghan migrants have been expelled.
The ministry announced today, Tuesday, June 25th, that 485 Afghan migrants were deported from Pakistan and 3,399 from Iran.
According to the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation, returnees arrived in Afghanistan on June 24th.
Based on the ministry’s newsletter, these migrants entered the country through Islam Qala, Torghundi, Spin Boldak, and other border crossings.
The deportation of Afghan migrants from Pakistan occurs amidst a significant increase in recent months, particularly from Iran and Pakistan, amid a dire human rights and humanitarian crisis.
The forced deportation of Afghan migrants from Pakistan and Iran has compounded the already dire humanitarian situation in Afghanistan. Many of these deportees face uncertain futures, returning to a country grappling with economic instability, food shortages, and political uncertainty.
Reports indicate that returning migrants often lack access to basic necessities such as shelter, healthcare, and education, exacerbating their vulnerability.
The international community has raised concerns over the treatment of Afghan migrants during deportation processes, emphasizing the need for humanitarian safeguards and protection of their rights.
Advocacy groups have called for increased support for Afghan returnees to ensure their safe and dignified reintegration into Afghan society.
