GUZARA, AFGHANISTAN - JULY 5: Fatima, 30, holds her daughter Mohana, 1, in the house of relatives in the village of Andisha, Guzara district, Herat province, where they will sleep overnight as they have nowhere else to go after arriving from the Iranian border following their deportation on July 5, 2025, in Guzara, Afghanistan. She arrived with a group of approximately 20 people who will all be hosted in the same house. According to the village elder, more than 500 families have returned to Andisha in the past week, a village previously home to around 8,000 families. Despite limited resources, residents have taken in returnee families, offering space in their homes or yards, regardless of overcrowding. Over 256,000 Afghans left Iran for Afghanistan last month, according to the UN's International Organization for Migration (IOM), ahead of a July 6 deadline imposed by the Iranian government for all undocumented Afghans to leave the country. Numbers have continued to rise, peaking at 43,000 returnees in a single day on July 1. UN agencies and NGOs have been sounding the alarm, saying that critical funding gaps limit their ability to provide assistance to returnees. The number of Afghans in Iran had swelled in recent years after the Taliban regained control of the country in 2021. The wave of recent returns, which has been exacerbated by the recent war between Israel and Iran, are overwhelming humanitarian provisions at the border, according to the UN's refugee co-ordinator for Afghanistan. Many NGOs that provide such humanitarian relief in Afghanistan are also grappling with cuts to foreign aid budgets, most notably the cancellation of programs funded by USAID, the United States Agency for International Development.
