Afghan nationals continued to return from Pakistan, with UNHCR providing assistance to these individuals. The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) released its 87th daily situation report for the 2026 monsoon season, covering the period up to September 20. Forecasts indicate above-normal rainfall across parts of the Middle East, which could impact locust breeding areas.

The ongoing monsoon season presents continued risks, though specific impacts are not detailed. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, potentially affecting response capacity.

The country hosts over one million refugees and more than half a million internally displaced persons. The return of Afghan nationals indicates ongoing population movements affecting vulnerable groups.

The specific impacts of the monsoon rains on affected populations and infrastructure are not yet covered in recent reporting.
