How many additional Afghans may return in 2026?
In July 2026, UNHCR and UNDP said a further 2.5 million Afghans could return by the end of 2026.
What the figure or term means
This is a forward-looking expectation, not a verified year-end total.
Border policy, conflict, deportations, voluntary decisions, and regional conditions can change the trajectory.
Planning projections help size reception and reintegration needs but should be updated frequently.
Label this clearly as a July 2026 projection.
How to use this information responsibly
Population and humanitarian figures are estimates tied to a source, reference period, method, and denominator. Famidi keeps the date visible and links to the underlying release.
A national estimate explains scale; it does not identify which specific household needs assistance or prove the result of one charity program.
Check the underlying information.
Editorial standard: This page is reviewed by a person, sourced to Famidi records or authoritative references, and revised when the program or underlying guidance changes. It does not replace legal, tax, medical, or financial advice.
