| Comments: | Since the launch of Pakistan's Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan (IFRP) on 15 September 2023, over 843,400 Afghans have returned to Afghanistan. In February 2025, alone, 17,900 individuals returned, including 1,417 deportees—the highest monthly return figure recorded since the peak in late 2023. The Torkham border crossing was closed from 22 February to 19 March due to disputes. It is estimated that Pakistan is currently home to approximately 4.4 million undocumented Afghan residents. Based on historical data, detention rates, and evolving contextual changes in both Pakistan and Afghanistan, it is anticipated that approximately 720,000 undocumented individuals, along with 50,000 voluntary repatriation returnees will require assistance at border points from 1 November 2023 to 31 March 2025. The migration is expected to continue throughout 2025, with estimates indicating that 30 per cent will occur until the end of 2025 and the remaining 70 percent in 2025.Many vulnerable families will continue resorting to negative coping strategies, putting the lives of vulnerable people, especially women, children, and people with disabilities, at risk. Selling household assets and other assets due to poverty is already happening, as evident in UN reports and news media. |
