Since the government resumed its deportation campaign in April, more than 200,000 Afghans have fled Pakistan, and Iran has also increased its expulsions of Afghans.
During decades of conflict, generations of Afghans have escaped to neighboring Pakistan and Iran in search of safety and better economic prospects.
Millions have been compelled to leave under threat of arrest by both governments, who have grown tired of massive migrant populations.
Over 800,000 Afghans, some of whom were born in Pakistan or have lived there for decades, have had their residency permits revoked, and the country has begun a rigorous drive to remove them.
