HIGHLIGHTS OF THE WEEK
• As a result of Eid holidays, borders were closed from 17-18 June, with many remaining closed or only partially open until the 19th with the exception of Torkham border crossing. By the 20th, most borders were fully open.
• Prior to Eid, inflow and outflow trends at the border with the Islamic Republic of Iran had seen the most consistent discrepancy recorded during this year, with inflows often being almost double outflows.
• Individuals entering Afghanistan via main border points remain more likely to be uncertain about their planned length of stay in Afghanistan, while those crossing through other border points are more likely to answer that they only plan to stay short-term.
