The International Organization for Migration (IOM) is actively monitoring cross-border migration trends of Afghan nationals, particularly those returning from Pakistan and Iran. This includes tracking their profiles, mobility patterns, routes, vulnerabilities, and demographic characteristics. Flow Monitoring Counting is a key activity in this effort, providing insights into movements at border points.

Humanitarian funding for Afghanistan remains well below requirements, potentially impacting the ability to address the needs of returning populations and other vulnerable groups. The country also faces a very high INFORM risk classification, indicating significant humanitarian challenges.

The ongoing monitoring of returning Afghan nationals suggests continued population movements, which can place additional strain on resources and services within Afghanistan. The country currently hosts over 1.2 million internally displaced persons and nearly 865,000 refugees.

The specific needs and vulnerabilities of the returning Afghan nationals are not detailed in the provided reports.
