AMDAはアフガニスタン支部と協力し、パキスタンやイランから強制送還された難民を支援しています。国連によると、この夏だけで16日間に50万人以上がイランから送還され、今年に入ってからの累計は約150万人に達しています。イラン政府は、同国に不法滞在する約400万人のアフガニスタン難民を国外退去させる方針を掲げており、送還された多くの人々は所持金や財産を失い、極度の困窮状態に置かれています。このような過酷な状況を強いられている人達を対象に、AMDAアフガニスタンは、Japan Afghanistan Friendship Hospitalを通じて、必要な診療、薬剤、食料等の支援を行っています。

[AMDA Afghanistan Supporting Forcibly Repatriated Refugees]
AMDA, in collaboration with its Afghanistan chapter, has been providing assistance to refugees who have been forcibly repatriated from Pakistan and Iran.

According to the United Nations, more than 500,000 people were deported from Iran within just 16 days this summer, bringing the total number of deportations since the beginning of this year to approximately 1.5 million.

The Iranian government has declared its intention to expel around 4 million Afghan refugees residing illegally in the country.

Many of those who have been sent back have lost their money and belongings, leaving them in extreme destitution.

To support people facing such harsh conditions, AMDA Afghanistan has been delivering medical care and medicines through the Japan Afghanistan Friendship Hospital.
