ISLAMABAD, Sept 26: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees has said that about 4.2 million Afghan refugees have returned to their country from Pakistan and Iran during the current year.
In an interview with Voice of America, a UNHCR spokesman said that about half of the Afghan refugees had so far been repatriated from the two countries.
Some of the refugees returned to Afghanistan without the help of the UNHCR, the spokesman said. Repatriation has been intensified after closure of some refugee camps.—APP
