The cost of the Pakistan-Afghanistan border closure

17 min15 december 2025

Pakistan closed its border with Afghanistan in October following sporadic fighting between the two countries.

Since then, the movement of goods has stopped, and lines of trucks have been waiting to cross.

We look at the impact of this key trade route being shut and what it means for livelihoods and businesses on both sides of the border.
