Three things you should know about forced return of Afghans from Pakistan

Description

Forced returns from Pakistan deepen Afghanistan’s humanitarian crisis Hundreds of thousands of Afghans are returning to their country from Pakistan with no work or shelter after a November 1st deadline set by the Government of Pakistan for over 1 million undocumented foreigners to return to their countries. In total, more than 350,000 people have returned to Afghanistan since the announcement, and the number arriving at borders exhausted and in need of emergency assistance continues to grow. Pakistan is host to 1.3 million registered Afghan refugees while another 840,000 hold Citizenship Cards that give them some protection. A further 1.5 million Afghans are estimated to be living in Pakistan without any documentation, including some 600,000 who arrived in the country following Afghanistan’s takeover by the de facto authorities in August 2021.
