Pakistani Minister urges increased foreign aid for Afghan refugees
Pakistan’s Minister for States and Frontier Regions, Amir Muqam, urged the international community to provide more funding and support for Afghan refugees.
During a meeting at the office of the Commissioner of Afghan Refugees in Karachi, Muqam highlighted the increasing needs of Afghan refugees, which require significant resources.
He stressed the importance of effectively utilizing resources to meet the goals of the Commissionerate of Afghan Refugees.
Muqam expressed hope for ongoing collaboration to ensure the safety and dignity of refugees living in Pakistan.
Currently, Pakistan hosts 1.45 million registered Afghan refugees.
The forced deportation of Afghan refugees by Pakistan adds to the already dire humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. Many refugees face uncertain futures and dire conditions upon return.
This situation is exacerbated by the lack of adequate support and resources, making it challenging for them to rebuild their lives.
Urgent international action is needed to address both the immediate needs of Afghan refugees and the broader humanitarian crisis unfolding in Afghanistan.
