After 13 years in Iran, Jamila returned to Afghanistan with her two younger brothers, carrying painful memories and an uncertain future. She is one of many Afghans forced to leave behind everything they built and start over with nothing but courage and hope. #ReturneeVoices

🚨 Over 264,000 undocumented Afghans returned from Iran in the last 9 days — more than 546,000 since June 1, pushing total returns past 1 million this year. The situation is dire: IOM and partners can assist fewer than 10% of those eligible and urgently need more resources.
