Mass Return of Afghan Migrants
In a significant development, over 256,000 Afghan migrants have returned from Iran, marking a record number of repatriations. This influx comes at a time when the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has raised alarms about a critical funding shortfall. The humanitarian situation in Afghanistan continues to deteriorate, and this return of migrants adds to the existing challenges.
Many of these returnees face dire circumstances as they reintegrate into their home country. The lack of adequate resources to support these individuals has prompted the IOM to call for urgent assistance. The situation underscores the need for increased international aid and a coordinated response to manage the increasing number of returnees effectively.
