Afghan Returnees Face Urgent Humanitarian Needs, Says UN
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says that amid escalating tensions in Iran, thousands of Afghans are returning to Afghanistan.
The agency wrote on X on Saturday that for many families, this marks another cycle of displacement, and they require urgent support.
The UNHCR emphasised that Afghanistan is currently facing multiple crises.
The agency had previously stated that Afghan migrant families in Iran have been affected by the intensifying conflict, with many of them highly vulnerable due to their fragile circumstances.
The UNHCR also stressed the urgent need to protect civilians, ensure access to humanitarian assistance, and keep borders open for those seeking to leave the country.
