According to an article by the United Nations office for the coordination of Humanitarian affairs, about 6 million Afghans fled their country to neighboring Iran and Pakistan between 1980-1990 due to the war.

After the fall of the Taliban in 2002 close to 2 million refugees returned to their native land.

Today however, more that 2.5 million Afghan refugees still live in the two neighbouring countries about 1.6 million in Pakistan and about another million in Iran. - www.wordstowisdom.com
