At least one million vulnerable people are on the move in Afghanistan this year. On top of the existing 5 million refugee returnees since 2002, this year more than 550,000 Afghans are returning migrants and refugees from Pakistan, while another 485,000 are conflict induced internally displaced

persons (IDPs). Refugees receive UNHCR assistance at encashment centers, but returnees and IDPs are particularly vulnerable in Nangarhar, Kunduz, Helmand, and Kabul, where the urban poor and IDPs already strain resources.

For example, over 235,000 Afghans returned to Nangarhar this year, a number similar in size to the provincial capital, Jalalabad.

In Kunduz, about 25,000 returnees are returningto a province with over 46,000 IDPs.
