Torkham, Afghanistan: Hundreds of Afghan refugees head to Pakistan’s border area of Torkham as authorities force them to return to their home country. Pakistan has hosted Afghans fleeing violence for more than four decades. However, in 2023 Islamabad launched a crackdown to evict them, painting the population as “terrorists and criminals”.
More than 554,000 Afghans have returned since April, including 143,000 in August alone, according to the UNHCR.
