of towns and villages have caused mass movement of
the people of Afghanistan in two major directions --
• Emigration, mainly to Pakistan and Iran, or escape
to the relative safety of the capital city, Kabul.
 According to the United Nations High Commissioner for
Refugees (UNHCR) estimates, more than 5 million
Afghans have been displaced either as Internally
Displaced Persons (IDPs) inside the country or in
neighbouring states over the past twenty-three years.
• As many as 300,000 Afghans have entered Iran and
Pakistan since September 11, 2001, while more
than 3.5 million have been there for more than 10
years.
