A survey of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees conducted a survey that reports Pakistan is hosting over 1.5 million Afghan refugees who are living in Pakistan. Pakistan is hosting Afghan refugees since the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
The survey also reported that Pakistan is unconditionally providing security and the best possible facilities for the past three decades despite fighting against cross-border terrorism.
The report also added that the voluntary repatriation of Afghan refugees from Pakistan to their land of origin, Afghanistan was also the largest in the world. Many of the Afghan refugees are holding Pakistani passports including some of the players of the Afghan National Cricket Team.
