14 Afghans die crossing to Iran
The Afghan authorities have found the bodies of 14 migrants who attempted to cross the scorching Nimroz desert (reaching up to 45°C) to reach Iran, after weeks of walking on foot following their vehicle breakdown. The migrants had left their homes 23 days ago, exhausted by the heat and drought conditions. Their attempt resulted in the death of 14 of them, while searches for others continue. Iran is a common destination for Afghan migrants seeking economic opportunities, despite the scarcity of legal routes. Temperatures along the border rise significantly in summer and drop to dangerous levels in winter, greatly increasing the risks of crossing the deserts.
