Afghan Exodus: 3 Million Refugees’ Return Looms Large
The UNHCR has issued a stark warning: up to three million Afghan refugees could return from Iran and Pakistan by the end of the year. This mass return poses a significant threat to the already fragile situation in Afghanistan.
Many returning refugees arrive with minimal resources, placing an immense strain on already overstretched local communities. Basic necessities like food, shelter, and healthcare are in critically short supply.
The UN is currently providing emergency aid, but the scale of the impending crisis demands a much larger international response. Without substantial global support, Afghanistan risks plunging deeper into poverty and instability.
The looming humanitarian crisis underscores the urgent need for sustained international engagement in Afghanistan. The fate of millions hangs in the balance, demanding immediate and concerted action from the global community. Failure to act decisively could have devastating consequences, not only for Afghanistan but for regional stability as well.
