Amid Pakistan's push to expel Afghans, volunteers are offering food and solidarity as refugees wait for their documents to be processed at the Chaman-Spin Boldak border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Pakistani authorities have intensified their efforts to repatriate Afghan migrants in the wake of deadly border clashes between the Taliban in Afghanistan and Pakistan's army.

The Chaman border crossing in Balochistan province is only open for Afghan refugees to leave. But the slow processing of documents and security checks mean refugees might have to wait for days.

The Laghari Alliance is a group providing aid to those in need. Around 100 volunteers help feed refugees here.
