Afghanistan: Operational Update - August 2024: UNHCR has assisted 108,100 Afghan returnees from Pakistan, including 68,100 Proof of Registration (PoR) card holders since September 2023. Around 49% of the assisted individuals are women, and 2.4% of the total assisted beneficiaries have disabilities. Between 15 September 2023 and 31 August 2024, over 712,000 Afghans have returned to Afghanistan. At least one in four households assisted are headed by women. Around 33% of returnees intend to return to five provincial capitals (Kabul, Jalalabad, Kandahar, Lashkargah and Mazar-e-Sharif). On 21 August, the De facto Authorities (DfA) issued a new set of vice and virtue laws signifying the first time that the DfA codify previous edicts in law. The laws cover aspects of everyday life, including public transportation, music, shaving, and celebrations.
