A total of 759 immigrants residing in Iran returned to Afghanistan through the Islam Qala-Herat border. Among them were families and individuals, with 379 requiring identification and assistance.

Notably, 18 unaccompanied children were taken to an orphanage to initiate efforts in identifying their families in the aftermath of the war.

Additionally, 13 families received financial aid worth 10,000 Afghanis each, while 38 individuals were provided with free SIM cards by dedicated committees at the border. Health services were extended to 143 individuals to address their immediate medical needs.

Furthermore, 349 Afghan migrants returned from the Torkham imaginary line on May 11, after being forcibly repatriated from Pakistan.

The repatriation process underscores the ongoing efforts of the Afghan government and international organizations to facilitate the return of Afghan migrants from neighboring countries. By providing essential support, identification services, financial aid, and healthcare, the aim is to ensure a smooth transition and reintegration for those returning to their homeland.

The ministry said on Wednesday on its social media platform that 23 Afghan refugees after being released from Pakistani prisons, returned to Afghanistan via the Torkham border crossing two days ago.

Whether these refugees were deported or entered the country voluntarily is still unclear.

According to the ministry’s statement, returning migrants have been referred to the International Organization for Migration’s office to receive food and non-food assistance.

This comes as the expulsion and return of Afghan migrants from Iran and Pakistan have risen.

Previously, the Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation had reported that approximately 50,000 Afghan migrants had returned from Iran in the past month.

Amid a dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan, driven by the resurgence of the Taliban, many refugees seek safety in neighbouring countries. These Afghan nationals flee their homeland due to economic hardship, unemployment, security threats, and persecution.

Despite their perilous journey, their arrival in neighbouring nations does not always bring relief. Instead, they often face daunting challenges, including deportation, detention, mistreatment, and abuse.

This situation underscores the urgent need for international efforts to address the plight of Afghan refugees and ensure their safety and well-being as they seek refuge in foreign countries.
