Nearly a month after cross-border trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan came to a halt, the economic toll is mounting on both sides, with thousands of commercial trucks stranded on both sides.
All five key border crossings — Torkham, Spin Boldak, Ghulam Khan, Angoor Adda, and Dand-e-Patan — remain closed for commercial traffic following escalating tensions between the Taliban and Pakistani authorities. The closures have paralyzed trade and transit, affecting thousands of businesses and sharply curtailing the flow of goods between the neighboring countries.
