Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Kabul: The Ministry of Refugees and Returnees announced that Maulvi Abdul Kabir, Acting Minister of the Ministry, in a meeting with Maulvi Zia-ul-Haq, Kunar Police Chief, and Qari Abid, Head of Nangarhar Intelligence, emphasized the need for serious support for refugees returning to the country.
According to the ministry’s statement, in this meeting, the Acting Minister of Refugees called for cooperation and coordination of domestic and international aid agencies to provide immediate services to returning refugees in all provinces.
Meanwhile, security officials in Kunar and Nangarhar described the situation of refugees and security conditions as satisfactory, saying that the returnees were well-received and provided with basic facilities.
It is worth noting that thousands of Afghan refugees enter the country daily through border crossings with Iran and Pakistan, most of whom are in urgent need of shelter, food, and health services.
According to statistics from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in recent months alone, more than 400,000 Afghan refugees have returned to the country from Pakistan and Iran, either voluntarily or forcibly.
Local networks and media sources have reported that in some border areas, the lack of basic facilities such as temporary shelter, food packages, and medical services remains a serious challenge.
In Nangarhar and Kunar, some international organizations, including UN agencies, have launched limited campaigns to distribute humanitarian aid.
According to experts on social issues and migration, effective support for returning migrants is a vital pillar for social stability and reducing humanitarian crises in the country. Observers say that in the absence of systematic planning and adequate funding, a significant proportion of returnees may face poverty, homelessness and double deprivation. Studies show that government efforts to attract international aid and effectively manage the return process require strengthening local structures, transparency and close coordination with aid agencies.
