US calls on Pakistan to accept Afghan refugees

The United States has urged Pakistan to allow Afghans seeking refuge to enter the country. The US State Department spokesperson emphasized the importance of neighboring countries, including Pakistan, facilitating the entry of Afghans seeking international protection and collaborating with humanitarian organizations to provide assistance. Pakistan has set a November 1 deadline for all undocumented immigrants, including Afghans, to leave or face deportation. The Taliban in Afghanistan have criticized this move.
