A devastating bus crash in western Afghanistan has claimed the lives of at least 71 people, most of whom were refugees who had been deported from Iran. The accident occurred when the passenger bus, which was carrying the deported migrants, collided with a truck and a motorcycle before catching fire. The incident has sent shockwaves across the region, with many expressing outrage and condolences to the families of the victims.
According to authorities, the bus was carrying around 80 people, mostly Afghans who had been deported from Iran. The accident took place on a highway in Herat province, which borders Iran. The bus was heading to the western city of Farah when it collided with the truck and motorcycle, causing it to catch fire.
The exact cause of the accident is still under investigation, but officials have said that the bus was traveling at a high speed and failed to stop at a stop sign before the collision. The driver of the bus and the truck are among the dead, while many others were injured in the accident.

The country’s Ministry of Interior has launched an investigation into the accident and has promised to take action against those responsible.

The accident is a stark reminder of the human cost of migration and the need for countries to work together to address the root causes of migration and to provide support to those who are displaced.
