Sweeping cuts to foreign aid are impacting the UN's ability to support hundreds of thousands of vulnerable Afghans returning to their country, with the humanitarian response also overstretched following a series of deadly earthquakes, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) chief of mission for Afghanistan has told Euronews.
Around 2 million Afghan nationals have returned from neighbouring Iran and Pakistan this year alone, the majority from Iran, with as many as 40,000 crossing the border every day at the peak of the crisis in July.
