The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has raised concerns over a worrying trend of increasing deportations of Afghan families from Iran, with reported figures showing over 15,000 families returned in May alone, compared to around 6,900 in April. This exponential rise is linked to Iranian authorities' intensified deportation policies amid a July 6 deadline for undocumented Afghans. Many deported families have shared experiences of mistreatment and dire living conditions, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis for Afghan nationals in both Iran and Afghanistan, where challenges persist after their return.
The IOM reported a distressing increase in deported Afghan families from Iran, with families returning from Iran surpassing 15,000 in May, a notable rise from April.

According to reports, Iranian authorities are set to intensify deportations, affecting up to 4 million undocumented Afghans, leading to a humanitarian crisis.
