UNHCR lauds Pakistan’s support for hosting largest number of refugees in the world

Islamabad, March 21, 2023 (PPI-OT): UN Refugee Agency Representative in Pakistan Ms. Noriko Yoshida called on Minister for Economic Affairs Sardar Ayaz Sadiq in Islamabad on Tuesday.

The Minister said Pakistan has been hosting millions of Afghan refugees for over four decades. The presence of such a significant number of people has strained the country’s resources and social services, infrastructure, such as healthcare, education, and housing. The Pakistan government is making efforts and has been actively working with the UNHCR to assist in the preparation of Afghan refugees.
