Hard to imagine a worse time to deport Afghan refugees, human rights advocates say
Briefly

The article highlights the plight of Afghan refugees being forcibly deported from Pakistan and Iran, facing severe hardships upon their return to Afghanistan. Najib Ghiasi from the charity Aseel describes how families arrive with virtually nothing. A U.N. report indicates that over 71,000 Afghan refugees were deported within a short time frame, emphasizing an increase in deportations this year. Personal accounts, such as that of Mausera who lost her family members and her livelihood, paint a grim picture of their existence in makeshift shelters at border crossings.
"We see families arriving with barely anything often just the clothes on their backs," said Najib Ghiasi.
"No food, no clothes, not even our household items. We lost everything," said Mausera, describing her family's dire situation after deportation.
