UNHCR has assisted over 118,400 Afghan returnees from Pakistan, including 75,600 Proof of Registration (PoR) Card holders, since September 2023. Approximately 50% of the assisted individuals are women and girls, and 2.5% of the total assisted beneficiaries have disabilities.
Between 15 September 2023 and 31 January 2025, over 825,600 Afghans have returned to Afghanistan. Of households assisted, at least one in four are headed by women, and approximately 33% of returnees intend to return to five provincial capitals (Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar, Kunduz, and Mazar-i-Sharif).
Out of 825,600, some 18,300 returned in 2025, out of which some 1,000 were deported. Out of the 1,000, more than 800 Afghan nationals, among them women and children, have been deported from Islamabad and Rawalpindi alone.
