Following Pakistan's announcement to repatriate Afghan nationals, the UN's refugee and migration agencies together appealed to Islamabad on Saturday to continue protecting those who sought safety in the country and could be "at imminent risk if forced to return". Amid a "severe humanitarian crisis", Afghanistan currently faces several human rights challenges, particularly for women and girls , according to the UN.
