A number of international aid agencies in a joint statement have expressed concern over the uncertain fate of thousands of Afghan refugees who have been recently deported from Pakistan and warned that these returnees have nowhere to go.

The Norwegian Refugee Council, Danish Refugee Council and the International Rescue Committee have asked aid agencies to provide funds to solve the problems of these returnees and prevent the emergence of a new crisis.

“These three organizations request neighboring countries to continue supporting all vulnerable migrants until good, safe and voluntary conditions are provided for Afghans to return home,” read the statement.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has also begun its efforts to prevent forced deportations.

The spokesperson of the UN Secretary General said that UNHCR is working with Pakistan to protect vulnerable refugees in order to start the process of registering them in this country by creating an advanced mechanism.

Rina Amiri, US special envoy for Afghan women, girls, and human rights, also said that she had discussed the emergency situation of immigrants who are being deported to Afghanistan in a meeting with Masood Khan, Pakistan’s ambassador to the US.

Amiri said in a post on X that at this meeting, the effects of deportation on women and other vulnerable groups and the dangers and challenges they face in returning to Afghanistan were also discussed.
