(MENAFN- Khaama Press) A vehicle carrying 20 Afghan migrants overturned in Saravan, injuring all passengers. Several remain critical, underscoring unsafe travel conditions and recurring migrant tragedies.
A vehicle carrying at least 20 Afghan migrants overturned in Saravan on Saturday evening, September 13, according to Halvash, a human rights organization monitoring migrant issues. The crash left all passengers injured, exposing the dangers of irregular and unsafe travel.

The accident reportedly happened as the migrants were being transported toward a checkpoint under poor conditions. Halvash confirmed that the vehicle was overcrowded and unsafe, and the lack of regulated transportation for migrants continues to create recurring risks of disaster.

All injured passengers were rushed to Razi Hospital in Saravan, where medical staff reported several remain in critical condition. Doctors warned that the extent of injuries could result in fatalities if urgent treatment is not provided swiftly and consistently.

Halvash described the crash as another reminder of the extreme vulnerabilities Afghan migrants face when forced to use dangerous routes and unsafe vehicles. The organization called for immediate reforms to protect migrants' basic rights and ensure their safety in transit.

This incident comes shortly after another tragic accident in Saravan involving Afghan migrants, which left one dead and 13 injured. Repeated accidents demonstrate a pattern of neglect that endangers lives and fuels humanitarian concern.

These recurring tragedies underline the urgent need for safe, regulated transport options for Afghan migrants. Human rights groups insist authorities must act quickly to prevent further loss of life.

Without protective measures and humanitarian assistance, Afghan migrants will continue to face life-threatening risks. Their plight highlights not only unsafe travel conditions but also broader failures in migration management and human rights protections.
