Some residents of the “Ghurki” area near the Torkham border crossing say that recent clashes between the Islamic Emirate’s forces and Pakistan’s military forced them to flee their homes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Roqail, a resident of the area, explains: “Pakistan’s forces fired mortars at us; we only managed to save the women and children and fled. We sought refuge in this area and are facing many challenges.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdul Haq, another resident of Ghurki, adds, “We left in very difficult circumstances; we saved our children, but we had no tents, no blankets\u2014nothing at all.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Some families affected by the Torkham conflict say that Pakistan’s forces are unable to engage in direct combat with the Islamic Emirate, and as a result, they occasionally target civilian homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Abdul Shakur<\/span>, a displaced person, said, “A good neighbor wouldn’t create such a situation. Both sides\u00a0<\/span>suffer. Now, it’s Ramadan, and we don’t even have a piece of bread at home.”<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other hand, Nangarhar local officials say that as a result of Pakistan’s attacks in Torkham, around 800 families have been displaced.<\/span><\/p>\n

Baz Mohammad Abdul Rahman, head of the Department of Refugees and Returnees in Nangarhar, Afghanistan, confirmed that aid efforts for the displaced families have begun.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Relief agencies under the supervision of the department of refugees are conducting assessments, and assistance will be delivered to them shortly,” he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Approximately one week ago, Pakistan’s forces clashed with the Islamic Emirate’s forces in response to the construction of facilities by the Islamic Emirate at the Torkham border crossing.<\/span><\/p>\n
