The above Returned IDPs data is from household-level rapid assessments conducted across the country by UNHCR and its partners. These figures are expected to increase retroactively with ongoing assessments, and considered indicative rather than overall statistical data of IDP returnees in Afghanistan.

    Context

    Iran and Pakistan are among the world’s major refugee-hosting countries, hosting 3.47 million and 1.75 million Afghan refugees respectively, despite facing their own challenges. Since 2023, a shift in displacement trends has been taking place that has seen mass returns, including large numbers of forced and coerced returns, back to Afghanistan. On 7 March 2025, the Government of Pakistan publicly announced the resumption of the “Illegal Foreigners Repatriation Plan" (IFRP) to include the deportation of all Afghan Citizenship Card (ACC) holders from 1 April 2025. In parallel, following Headcount slip expiry on 20 March 2025, the Government of Iran launched a regularization/return scheme for some two million affected Afghans where the majority were expected to return to Afghanistan by the Government deadline of 6 July 2025 or face deportation. These mass returns in adverse circumstances have strained Afghanistan’s already overstretched resources and services, hindered reintegration efforts, and lead to risks of onward and new displacement, including return movements back into Pakistan and Iran, and onward. UNHCR reiterates concern that many Afghans —regardless of status—face serious protection risks inside Afghanistan due to the current human rights situation, especially women and girls. UNHCR is responding to this emergency, with needs outlined in its emergency appeal. This page provides updates on UNHCR's work in support of Afghan IDPs, refugees, and returnees.
