343 Afghan migrants returned to the country from Pakistan through the Spin Boldak crossing and were referred to the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The Ministry of Refugees and Repatriation (MoRR) announced.

Afghan Voice Agency(AVA)_Monitoring, On Monday, 211 Afghan refugees also returned to the country from Pakistan through the Spin Boldak crossing while another 120 returned a few days ago.

Recently, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) had announced that the continuous return of Afghan refugees from neighboring countries is closely linked to the rising inflation and lack of employment opportunities in the host countries.

MoRR has repeatedly reported on the return of Afghan citizens from Pakistan and Iran. However, some of these refugees have been forcefully deported.

Currently, more than six million Afghan nationals reside in Iran and Pakistan, making this the highest number of refugees the two countries have hosted for decades.
