UNHCR called on Pakistan to stop the exile of Afghan refugees

New -Delhi, September 14 (IANS). In the midst of the increasing tension between Afghanistan and Pakistan, the United Nations Refugee High Commissioner (UNHCR) has called on Pakistan to deport sensitive Afghan refugees and offer them international safety. Afghanistan has been struggling with problems such as poverty, drought -like conditions and destruction with recent earthquakes, and now the return of new Afghan refugees is deepening. In a statement issued from Geneva on September 12, Arafat Jamal, representative of the UNHCR, called on Islamabad not to exhale the Afghans who needed safety. He said that the refugee agency, along with Pakistan officials, is ready to work together for the identity and safety of the most sensitive groups. Jamal warned that if new funds are not found, the UNHCR will not be able to continue the life -saving help to Afghan families. The agency updated its local appeal and demanded $ 258.6 million to meet immediate needs. According to the UNHCR, more than 5.54 Lakth Afghanen has been returned from April since the implementation of the ‘return of illegal foreigners’ by Pakistan, including 1.43 Lakh people in August themselves. In the first week of September, about one Lakh ghanen returned from Pakistan, increasing further pressure on the poor economy of Afghanistan and limited public services. UNHCR insisted that Pakistan continue to continue his long -standing human policy towards Afghan refugees. According to United Nations estimates, more than 26 Lakh Afghan citizens have been deported from neighboring countries since the beginning of 2025. This figure underlines the forced requirement of large-scale and regional and international cooperation of regional and international cooperation. Afghanistan is not ready to accommodate such a large number of people returning to such a large number of people amid heavy food crisis, limited shelter and a poor health system. -Ians DSC/ Share these Story Tags
