Over 2.6 million Afghans returned from Pakistan and Iran since January, worsening poverty and security risks amid shrinking aid.
Over 2.6 million Afghans have returned from Pakistan and Iran since January, straining resources in a country where nearly half the population lives in poverty.
Many returnees, some having spent decades abroad, face severe shortages of jobs, housing, and basic services, increasing their vulnerability to recruitment by extremist groups like Islamic State Khorasan Province (IS-K).
Despite the Taliban’s denial of terrorist presence, IS-K remains active in eastern, northern, and northeastern Afghanistan, conducting attacks in multiple countries and exploiting discontent among marginalized Afghans and disaffected Taliban members.
Regional and European officials warn of growing security risks, citing foiled attacks linked to IS-K, while UN experts stress that sustained foreign aid is critical to prevent radicalization.
However, declining humanitarian funding since early 2025 is hampering efforts to stabilize the situation.
