Over 32,000 Afghan Migrants Deported from Pakistan in Past Month
Samaa TV has reported that in the past month, 32,200 Afghan nationals have been deported from Pakistan back to Afghanistan.
Since the implementation of Pakistan's deportation plan for Afghan migrants, more than 691,000 Afghans have been returned to their home country, according to Pakistani media.
Between Sunday, 21 July, and Saturday, 16 August, Pakistani media reported that 11,054 children, 9,320 women, and 11,826 men were expelled from the country.
These migrants were reportedly transported back to Afghanistan in 674 vehicles.
Pakistani authorities have confirmed that the deportation of Afghans without valid residency documents will continue.
The deportation programme for Afghan migrants from Pakistan commenced in October 2023, and despite widespread international criticism, Pakistan remains committed to continuing the expulsions of Afghan refugees.
