As of September 9, 2024, the total number of undocumented Afghan residents who have left Pakistan has reached 713,046, according to recent reports. The repatriation process continues steadily.
Between August 17 and September 9, 2024, 21,193 Afghan residents returned to their homeland. This group comprised 7,843 men, 6,012 women, and 7,338 children.
The repatriation effort involved 645 families using 712 vehicles for their journey back to Afghanistan.
This ongoing process reflects Pakistan's efforts to address the issue of undocumented residents within its borders, while facilitating a structured return for Afghan nationals to their home country.
The continuous flow of returnees suggests a significant demographic shift, which may have implications for both Pakistan and Afghanistan in terms of population dynamics and resource management.
As the repatriation process progresses, both countries face the challenge of ensuring a smooth transition for the returning individuals and families, including their reintegration into Afghan society.
