One in Four Afghan Returnees Lacks Shelter: IOM

Around 2.4 million Afghan migrants returning from neighboring countries struggle with unemployment, inadequate shelter, and limited access to essential services, IOM says.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported that only 11 percent of returning Afghan migrants have jobs, leaving the majority without income.

The organization stated on Sunday on its social media platform X that one in four returnees does not have access to adequate shelter, highlighting severe housing shortages across the country.
