Total returns is an umbrella term that includes all returns including deportations, assisted Voluntary Repatriation (VolRep) and other returns of Afghans of all statuses such as PoR cardholders, ACC holders, and the undocumented.
Including Facilitated Volrep, Proof of Registration card holders, UNHCR slip holders, their nuclear family members with or without documentation, UNHCR asylum certificate holders and protection referrals.
This category includes all refugee returnees as well as PoR card holders who returned without passing through the established Voluntary Repatriation Centers (VRC) set up in Pakistan.
The above Returned IDPs data is from household-level rapid assessments conducted across the country by UNHCR and its partners. These figures are expected to increase retroactively with ongoing assessments, and considered indicative rather than overall statistical data of IDP returnees in Afghanistan. It is also important to note that figures may be underestimated due to recent downscaling of assessments undertaken in 2023.
Note: The newly conflict-induced displaced population within the year is compiled by OCHA sub-offices based on inter-agency assessments . For more Information
