Pakistan Reopens Torkham Border for Returning Afghan Refugees After Clashes

Imagine a big gate between Pakistan and Afghanistan that had to be shut because the two countries had a fight.

Many Afghan families who were in Pakistan wanted to go back to their homes in Afghanistan.

The gate was closed for almost two weeks, which also stopped trucks carrying things from going back and forth.

Now, because the fighting has stopped and a ceasefire is holding, the gate has been opened again, but just for the Afghan families to go home.

Trucks and trade still have to wait a little longer until officials are sure it's safe.

This is part of a larger effort where many Afghan people have already returned home.
