155 Afghan families return from Iran and Pakistan, Afghan commission says

Afghanistan’s High Commission for Addressing Refugee Issues says 155 Afghan families returned from Iran and Pakistan on September 18 through four major border crossings. Bakhtar News Agency, citing the commission, reported that 58 families entered through Torkham, 10 through Spin Boldak, 72 through the Silk Road crossing in Nimroz and 15 through Islam Qala in Herat. The commission also reported assistance at several reception points. The daily totals are official commission figures; no independent count was available. IOM monitoring provides broader independent context showing sustained large-scale Afghan return movements from neighboring countries.
