Fatal Truck Accident Claims Lives of Afghan Refugees Returning from Pakistan
- On Saturday, a truck carrying Afghan refugees from Pakistan overturned in Laghman Province, killing 22 people and injuring at least 36, said Abdul Malik Niazai, spokesperson for the provincial governor.
- Provincial public health director Aminullah Sharif stated the driver fell asleep, causing the vehicle to veer off the road and into a ditch.
- Survivors were rushed to hospitals in neighbouring Nangarhar province for treatment, while fatalities included 10 children and five women.
- Traffic accidents are frequent due to poor road conditions, as a separate incident Friday night in Nuristan Province left four passengers missing after a car fell into a river.
- The UN warns returnees face a humanitarian crisis under Taliban rule, arriving with limited access to housing, employment, or basic services, as nearly 447,400 Afghans have returned from Pakistan this year.
