Afghan refugees face repatriation from Pakistan

Afghan refugees living in Pakistan face an uncertain future as the Pakistani government has refused to extend their stay after the end of the year.

There are one and a half million registered refugees living in Pakistan and many others who are staying without official documents.

Pakistan says it can no longer help the refugees because of lack of support from the international community and believes that their continued presence poses a security risk.

Al Jazeera’s Kamal Hyder reports from the Jalala refugee camp near Peshawar.
