RASC News Agency: According to reports from Pakistani media, 7,041 Afghanistani refugees were expelled from Pakistan in the last 10 days as part of ongoing deportations. Samaa TV reported on Wednesday, April 24, that these refugees were deported by the Pakistani government between April 14 and April 24.
According to the report, these refugees consisted of 267 families, including 2,967 men, 1,834 women, and 2,240 children. Since the start of the forced expulsion of refugees from Pakistan, 542,981 Afghanistani refugees have been deported or compelled to return to Afghanistan voluntarily.
The second phase of refugee expulsions by the Pakistani government began on April 14 of this year. It is estimated that around 400,000 Afghanistani refugees may be expelled from Pakistan during this phase. The ongoing forced expulsion of Afghanistani refugees by the Pakistani government has raised concerns among international organizations and the Taliban.
Some international organizations have warned that the expulsion of refugees from Iran and Pakistan will exacerbate the humanitarian situation in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.
