“After twice visiting Afghan refugees in Pakistan, and watching the beginnings of their return, I wanted to be a witness to how the over four million people repatriated by the UNHCR have settled. The return of the Afghan families is one of the largest populations movements in recent history. It is the UNHCR’s largest repatriation program ever. These families have been displaced for nearly 30 years,and now many returnees are facing reintegration difficulties, including lack of shelter, water and basic services, such as healthcare and education for their children. They are also facing a drought and serious rises in food prices” -Angelina Jolie-
