Limited capacity for returning Afghan refugees: UN
Updated
More than 120,000 Afghan refugees have returned home this year with United Nations help.
But the UNHCR, the world body's refugee agency, warns the country has limited capacity to take these people back.
Most families have returned to their places of origin, but others are in temporary settlements unable to return to their villages because of tribal conflicts, landlessness or insecurity.
Ninety-nine per cent of the returness are from Pakistan, with the majority of the remainder returning from Iran.
Since 2002 the UNHCR has helped more than four million Afghans return home, but there are still about two million in Pakistan and one million in Iran.
