Pakistan's northwestern border crossing was flooded with thousands of people looking to cross into Afghanistan on Thursday, a day after the government's deadline expired for undocumented foreigners to leave or face expulsion.
Afghan citizens gather to get their registrations to cross into Afghanistan, after Pakistan gives the last warning to undocumented immigrants to leave, at the Friendship Gate of Chaman Border Crossing along the Pakistan-Afghanistan Border in Balochistan Province, in Chaman, Pakistan November 1, 2023.
"There were a large number waiting for clearance and we made extra arrangements to better facilitate the clearance process," he said. He said 128,000 Afghan nationals have left for Afghanistan through the border crossing since the Pakistan government gave its ultimatum, and thousands more are expected to cross in coming days.spent decades in Pakistan
