Families Are Split as Pakistan Deports Thousands of Afghan Refugees

The article highlights the harrowing struggles of a Pakistani family amid a deadline-driven exodus for Afghans. Fatima Bibi, a concerned mother, worries about her husband Sher Zada as he faces deportation under Pakistan's strict policies. With fewer than three weeks until the government-imposed repatriation deadline expired, over 80,000 Afghans, including Sher Zada and his family, are being expelled to safety in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. This action could leave families separated and expose refugees to perilous conditions under Taliban rule while married to Pakistanis.
