Afghan refugees in Pakistan faces deportation
- 11 years ago
The clock is ticking for Afghan refugees living in Pakistan, as they face a June 30 deadline to leave.

But with no word from Islamabad on whether it will renew their status, many refugees – most who have called Pakistan home for decades – remain concerned about their future.
