UNHCR I Afghan Forced Returns Campaign I Donate Today

Afghan Forced Returns Campaign

afghan children and families at the Torkham border area receive assistance from UNHCR including emergency cash for food and essential items.
Families facing extreme hardship need your support
Tens of thousands of Afghans are being forced to return to their homeland from neighbouring countries, arriving in desperate conditions and facing an uncertain future. The sheer scale of these returns is creating a humanitarian crisis, and UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, urgently needs your support to provide life-saving assistance.

The Stark Reality for Returning Afghans:

  • Massive Displacement: From April 1 to 30 April, more than 282,000 Afghans returned from neighbouring countries. Tragically, over 107,600 of these were through deportation.
  • Traumatic Journeys: Many arrive traumatized by raids, arrests, and detention in harsh conditions. They recount being separated from loved ones and stripped of their belongings.
  • Heightened Vulnerability: Afghan women and girls face increasing restrictions on their rights. Ethnic and religious minorities, human rights activists, and journalists are also at heightened risk upon return.
  • Strained Resources: Afghanistan's limited capacity to absorb such large numbers of returnees is exacerbating existing humanitarian needs, rising unemployment, and the impact of natural disasters.

The Impact of Your Generosity:

Your contribution, no matter the size, can make a tangible difference in the lives of Afghan families facing immense hardship. You can help provide a lifeline of hope and support during this critical time.

Please, stand in solidarity with returning Afghans and make a donation today. Every dollar you give will help UNHCR provide essential aid and protection to those who have lost everything.

Thank you for your compassion and generosity.
