Between 26 March and 08 April 2023, 1,591 undocumented Afghan nationals spontaneously returned to Afghanistan, including 1,054 through the Torkham border point and 537 through the Chaman border point. Border authorities facilitated the return of 337 individuals due to the lack of legal documentation to remain in Pakistan. Therefore, information about these individuals are not included in the count. Although IOM identified the period for the 20,517 undocumented Afghan returnees at two border crossings, this may not reflect the total number of undocumented Afghan returnees. Moreover, for this study, only the head of household or representative of the family were interviewed
