Afghan refugees in Pakistan face rising deportations amid crackdowns, with delayed Australian visas leaving families in limbo.

Afghan refugees in Pakistan face rising deportation risks amid a government crackdown citing security and economic strain. Over 1.8 million have arrived since 2021, many without legal status. Raids and removal orders are increasing as delays in Australian humanitarian visas leave families in limbo. The suicide of 20-year-old Nilofer highlights the toll, while international groups urge Pakistan to uphold refugee rights. Australia is expediting resettlement but cannot stop deportations of those not yet approved.
