At Islam Qala border point, I met 18yo Hamid, newly returned from Iran after two years away. Behind every return is a story of hardship & uncertainty. UNICEF Afghanistan is here to support #children & adolescents like Hamid as they return home and begin to rebuild their lives.

Amid the ongoing tensions between AFG and Pak, Pak military has often targeted civilians, causing casualties among innocent people, including children. In last night’s strike, Pak military hit a drug rehabilitation center, killing more than 400 people. This is war crime

Since beginning of conflict between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Pak has often targeted civilians, inflicting casualties on innocent people, including children. The latest such strike targeted a drug rehab center. The responsible for these attacks should be held accountable.

Much appreciation to UNICEF and its partners for their support and assistance to Afghan returnees coming from Iran through Islam Qala. They provide timely assistance to the most vulnerable returnees who arrive to the country with almost nothing.
