Constant streams of Afghan migrants cross into Iran

Desperate for food and work, more than 4,000 Afghans are reportedly crossing the border into Iran daily, many of them entering the country illegally.

In Herat, Afghanistan, it has become a common practice for smugglers to transport migrants for US$16 and collect the rest of the US$400 fee when migrants find work.
