According to the hottest UNHCR Global Trends report, every three seconds, one person is powerfully displaced globally due to oppression, fight, violence or a human rights violation.
Pakistan hosts the largest number of refugees worldwide after Trukey with 1.4 million refugees residing in the country.
Following them was Lebanon with 1 million, the Islamic Republic of Iran with 979,400, Uganda with 940.8K and Ethopia with 791.6K refugees.
In the backdrop of a difficult relationship with its western neighbour, Pakistan has hosted the largest number of Afghan refugees along with Iran. Pakistan believes that militant groups have abused this situation & used Afghan refugee camps to carry out deadly terrorist attacks in the country, a situation which has made Pakistan deport some 606,905 refugees back to Afghanistan in 2016 — the highest number since 2005.

These numbers add up to a refugee crisis of neglect and indifference. On #WorldRefugeeDay, it's time to stop turning our backs.
Since 2002, over 4.2 million Afghan refugees have returned home from Pakistan, aided through the largest voluntary repatriation programme in the UNHCR’s history.
The report further states that 67% of the total refugees in Pakistan live in urban & rural zones whereas 33% reside in refugee villages.
The refugee camps are facing several health issues & people are living in dreadful situations. According to several surveys, majority of the people are working as daily-wage laborers & earning just enough to persist in tough situations.
UNHR spokesperson, Qaiser Khan Afridi said ----------
Due to the absence of this law, refugees living in Pakistan are deprived of their basic rights & face monetary challenges & are not secure.
He further added that Pakistan administration is hoping to register all the undocumented refugees living in Pakistan & provide them with basic requirements of life so that they can contribute to the society.
Speak the truth ...... Afghan refugees are not counseled in Pakistan.. Corrupt .. No funding to refugees ... Nothing even They live on their own and contributing in Pakistan's Economy worth 30% of their GDP ... Even None of Pakistan's Province Worth 30% alone.

you speak the truth, Pakistan has provided food and shelter to Aghans for decades, Pakistan has always been feeding them, providing them refuge and clothes and purpose of living. Don't be ignorant, believe the reality. Most of the Afghans have turned into Pakistani by getting Nadra National ID card and they are living here in Pakistan, Afghan women married Pakistan men and some Afghan men married Pakistani women. Pakistan has blood relations with Aghan and has fed afghanistan for decade. Keep your fake figures with you and be true.
