KABUL: The Aziz Foundation has announced the allocation of 1 billion Afghanis for the urgent assistance of Afghan returnees from Iran.
Mirwais Aziz, the head of the Azizi Foundation, in a statement on his X account, said that he has instructed his colleagues in Kabul to travel to Herat province as soon as possible to facilitate the transfer of the announced aid for migrants.
In his statement, Aziz expressed the need for national and international organizations to pay attention to this humanitarian disaster and confirmed the urgent assistance of 1 billion Afghanis from the Aziz Foundation.
He expressed deep concern and sadness over the forced expulsion of Afghan migrants from Iran and the “humanitarian crisis” that has resulted from it.
Mirwais Aziz expressed hope that the returnees would lead a comfortable and dignified life in their country after years of displacement.
This aid package comes as Mawlawi Abdul Salam Hanifi, the Deputy Prime Minister’s Administrative Assistant and head of the High Commission for Addressing Migrant Issues, once again called for the support of local traders to help address the challenges faced by returning migrants.
