Six million people have been forced to start over in Afghanistan after being deported under Taliban rule, according to the supplied reporting. The returns have created a major displacement crisis for people who are being sent to a country many have never previously lived in.
A further million people had been forced to return from Pakistan and Iran by August this year. The figure represents the latest reported increase in the number of deportees arriving in Afghanistan during the year.
The accounts highlight the disruption facing those sent back. Some deportees have no personal experience of Afghanistan, despite being expected to begin their lives there after removal from neighbouring countries.
The scale of the returns means that millions of people are now having to rebuild their lives under the Taliban. The supplied material does not provide further details about the conditions facing deportees or any response from the authorities.
