Over 1,000 residential land plots distributed returnee families

Afghanistan has seen a significant influx of returning migrants, with 488 families, comprising 2,622 individuals, arriving from neighboring countries within the past 24 hours. The Commission for Addressing Migrants’ Problems reported these figures, noting that the returnees entered and were registered through key border crossings including Torkham, Spin Boldak, Islam Qala, and Pul-i-Abrisham.

In a parallel effort to support these returnees, residential land plots were distributed to 1,024 families across four provinces. Nangarhar province received the largest allocation with 466 plots, followed by Helmand with 339, Farah with 202, and Ghazni with 17 plots. This distribution brings the total number of allocated plots to 39,515.

The commission's efforts extend beyond land allocation. The Transport and Transfer Committee facilitated the relocation of 579 families, totaling 3,156 individuals, to various provinces, with over 2.5 million afghanis allocated for transportation costs. Furthermore, the Financial Affairs Committee provided cash assistance exceeding 4.9 million afghanis to 602 returnee families.

In addition to material and financial support, returning migrants also received essential services such as healthcare, food aid, and telecommunications support, including the distribution of 483 SIM cards. These comprehensive measures aim to facilitate the reintegration of Afghans returning from abroad.
