The repatriation and reintegration grant for registered Afghan refugees returning from Pakistan this year has been halved to $200.
Previously, every registered refugee used to get $400 under the UNHCR's repatriation programme, said an official of UNHCR while talking to APP.
Around 16,000 refugees had registered themselves for repatriation with the UNHCR in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Currently, Pakistan hosts 1.3 million registered Afghan refugees, according to UNHCR data. Nearly a million unregistered refugees also live in Pakistan.
