Torkham, Afghanistan. The conditions in which returnees arrive in Afghanistan are dire, with many having endured arduous journeys spanning several days, exposed to the elements, and often forced to part with their possessions in exchange for transportation.
01:22 – 01:36
Afghan returnees receiving humanitarian assistance in Torkham, Afghanistan.
Notes:
Aid organisations NRC, DRC, and IRC have observed a dramatic surge in the number of people returning to Afghanistan from Pakistan since Pakistan’s announcement that all undocumented Afghans must vacate the country by 1 November or risk deportation. The daily number of arrivals, which now ranges between 9,000 and 10,000 individuals, marks a stark contrast to the previous average of approximately 300 individuals a day before the announcement on 15 September 2023. As many as 1.7 million people could be affected.
