Over 4,000 Job Seekers Register at Torkham’s Omari Camp

More than 4,000 eligible individuals have registered for employment at the Omari temporary camp in Torkham.

According to officials, over 900 skilled professionals have also been registered to facilitate job placement.

Haroon Hamed, head of the employment committee at the Omari camp, said: "Among those registered, we have both skilled individuals with professional expertise and unskilled workers performing basic tasks. The number of unskilled applicants is 3,322, while 201 individuals are considered professionals, including those with master's and bachelor's degrees, as well as graduates of long- and short-term programs."

Meanwhile, deported migrants and skilled workers are calling on the caretaker government to create employment opportunities.

Abdul Majid Khan, recently deported from Pakistan, said: "I’ve returned to my homeland. I want to offer all types of tailoring services here—whether military uniforms or regular clothing. I ask the government to support me in finding work."

Jan Mohammad, also deported from Pakistan, said: "We need employment assistance so we can live happily here. We are very happy to be back in our country."

This comes as the UNHCR reports that over 144,000 Afghan migrants have been forcibly returned from Pakistan to Afghanistan since April of this year.
