Dear Deeply Readers,
Welcome to the archives of Refugees Deeply. While we paused regular publication of the site on April 1, 2019, we are happy to serve as an ongoing public resource on refugees and migration. We hope you’ll enjoy the reporting and analysis that was produced by our dedicated community of editors and contributors.
We continue to produce events and special projects while we explore where the on-site journalism goes next. If you’d like to reach us with feedback or ideas for collaboration you can do so at [email protected].

As doors close to Afghan refugees around the globe, 1 million Afghan children face an uncertain future in Iran. Some have rights and public sympathy, others face deportation and discrimination, reports Fariba Nawa in this photo essay with an Iranian photographer.
Iran has been lauded for providing free healthcare or subsidized insurance to many Afghan refugees. Yet some 2 million undocumented Afghans have no such benefits and live in fear of debt and deportation.
Have a story idea? Interested in adding your voice to our growing community?
