A number of Afghan returnees deported from Iran have complained about the lack of timely access to sufficient food at a camp in Kabul.
They say they are struggling with economic hardship and are unable to provide food for their children.
Mir Ahmad, one of the deportees from Iran, said: “In this hot weather, there are many problems. My children only ate at night; there is no food left. There is no one to help the poor and the migrants.”
Shah Mahmood, another deportee, said: “So far, nothing has been provided for us to eat in this camp, and I don’t know if anything will be provided in the future.”
Meanwhile, the Ministries of Refugees and Repatriation, and Economy, assure ongoing efforts to provide services for the returnees.
Abdul Latif Nazari, Deputy Minister of Economy, said: “We are in continuous and direct contact with international organizations, as well as national businessmen and investors, to play a key role in reducing the challenges faced by our dear migrants.”
This comes as relief agencies have repeatedly pledged to support and deliver services to those deported from neighboring countries.
