UN Emphasizes Support for Afghan Returnees on World Refugee Day

On World Refugee Day, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees praised the resilience, courage and determination of Afghan returnees and displaced people. The remarks came on 30 Jowza. Sustainable reintegration of returned migrants is essential for strengthening stability and the welfare of society, the commissioner stated.

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs announced that at least 6.04 million Afghans have returned to Afghanistan from Iran and Pakistan from Sonbola 1402 to 9 Jowza 1405. The Taliban High Commission for Refugees reports that thousands of Afghan migrants return daily from Pakistan, Iran and Turkey.

International organizations have warned that returns of Afghan migrants including women, former officials, journalists and military personnel are not safe under Taliban control. The warnings point to risks that certain groups face in the current situation. Ongoing efforts by humanitarian agencies focus on addressing these issues to ensure better outcomes for returnees.

The observance of World Refugee Day brings attention to the large scale movements and the need for coordinated international response. Reintegration programs are considered vital to help those who have come back to rebuild their lives. Authorities and organizations continue to monitor the situation closely.
