Around 1,500 Afghan refugee families return to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran in one day

Kabul, June 24 (UNI) Over 1,500 Afghan refugee families returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan and Iran in a single day on Monday, reports Afghan state media Bakhtar News on Tuesday.

"A total of 1,469 Afghan refugee families returned via several crossing points, with the majority of them from Iran yesterday," the state-owned media outlet added.

All the returned families have received necessary assistance from the Afghan authorities at the crossing points, the media outlet further said.

The return of Afghan refugees from Iran has increased following the Israeli strikes on Tehran since June 13, and the entry of up to 10,000 individuals daily to Afghanistan registered last week. About 2 million Afghan refugees have returned home over nearly two years.

This follows the mass deportations undertaken by Iran and Pakistan, with thousands being daily sent back to Afghanistan. However, as many families, who hold either Pakistani or Iranian citizenship or work permits, have also been forcefully deported, leaving them with little resources.

The Taliban government has raised the issue with both Tehran and Islamabad, having asked for leniency in returning of Afghan nationals, and to stop their harassment by authorities.
