ISLAMABAD: The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has decided to suspend the repatriation process of Afghan refugees in Pakistan for around three months because of cold weather.
According to a spokesperson of the UNHCR, the repatriation process will be halted from December 1 till February 28 next year due to drop in temperature and severe cold.
He said all UNHCR centers in Pakistan and Afghanistan would remain closed during the winter.
Registered Afghan refugees would not be given financial compensation in case of return during the period.
The operation will resume from March next year.
