*Afghan refugees flee Iran as Israel steps up attacks*
According to the UN’s refugee agency, more than four million Afghans who escaped war and fear of persecution are living in Iran.
But the fighting between Israel and Iran has raised safety concerns, with some Afghans forced to return to a country they left decades ago.
“The war in Iran has changed everything. As the violence grew closer, we feared for our lives and had no choice but to leave early,” said Nasima Ghaffari, an Afghan returnee. “Now that we’re back in our own country, we’ve returned with nothing – no money, no home, just uncertainty.”
It’s not just the Afghans fleeing. Hundreds of Pakistanis have also been crossing the border each day to reach Pakistan.
