He says all his belongings and household items were left behind, and after returning to Kabul, he has no access to basic living facilities in the cold weather.Wazir Khan told TOLOnews: “Everything we had was left there. They took my motorcycle and other belongings, and I am still in debt to many people. Our needs are very great, and we also have sick family members.”They are also calling on the Islamic Emirate and aid organizations to provide shelter, job opportunities, and basic assistance during winter.Habibullah, another Afghan expelled from Pakistan, said: “We ask the governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan to make efforts to solve people’s problems. It is winter, every family has children, and returning is very difficult.”Ali Khan, who was also expelled, said: “If they give us a house or land, that would be very good, and we would manage our daily expenses ourselves.”Some refugee rights activists are emphasizing the need for greater support for returnees.Refugee rights activist Abdul Razzaq Adil said: “Assistance should not be limited only to wheat and cash at the border. Sustainable integration into society is the key to success. The government and organizations should work to turn returnees from consumers into producers.”Earlier, some Afghan refugees living in Pakistan had called for a three-month grace period to return to Afghanistan.
