Pakistani government's expulsion deadline on undocumented immigrants passes

epa10953960 Afghan refugees gather next to a vehicle of Pakistan's National Database and Registration Authority at holding camps for verification after the Pakistani government's deadline to expel undocumented immigrants passed, near the Afghan border in Chaman, Pakistan, 02 November 2023. Pakistan is expected to implement its plan to expel undocumented immigrants as the deadline for them to leave the country expired. The move particularly affects the millions of Afghan refugees who had fled their homeland, many of them driven by decades of armed conflict and the return to power of the Taliban. Since the Pakistani authorities announced the 31 October deadline, a huge migratory flow has been recorded on the porous border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. According to official data, about 4.4 million Afghans are living in the country, of which 1.7 million are not registered. EPA/AKHTER GULFAM
