Days before President Donald Trump said he would help Afghan evacuees who fled their country, the UAE had already begun returning them to Afghanistan.

Afghans who helped American forces are stuck in limbo as the Trump administration cuts the State Department office for Afghan relocation.

Over 1.1 million Afghans have been deported from Iran this year, Tolo News reported. Many, like Zia, face harsh conditions in Kabul camps. The UN has allocated $10 million to aid returnees, but activists say support remains inadequate and forced deportations continue despite international appeals.
