According to the report, a total of 943 families crossed back into the country from neighboring Iran and Pakistan. The returnees entered Afghanistan through several key border crossings, including Islam Qala in western Herat Province, Torkham in eastern Nangarhar Province, and Spin Boldak in southern Kandahar Province
