Local Taliban officials in Nangarhar province have stated that Pakistan has once again closed the Torkham crossing for patients.

Radio Television Afghanistan (RTA), under Taliban control, reported that Pakistan has been denying entry to patients without passports and visas since Tuesday.

According to Taliban officials in Nangarhar, this route was closed on Monday.

Pakistan had previously also closed the Torkham crossing for patients who lacked visas and passports in recent months.

Additionally, the patient transfer commission in Torkham has urged applicants not to approach the commission until further notice.
