UNHCR welcomes the new Afghan Resettlement Scheme and aims to resettle 20,000 refugees in the coming years. However it would be contradictory to recognise that Afghans are facing danger and in need of protection but then punish those that make their own way to the UK. [2/3]

Nearly one million children were born into refugee life in just three years. We must work for a better, safer and more peaceful world to give them the future they deserve. https://t.co/i5wv7dvDk4

We welcome the Prime Minister’s commitment that this new scheme is in addition to the UK’s existing resettlement commitments. We also welcome confirmation that the UK will not be returning any nationals or former residents to Afghanistan. [3/5] https://t.co/egccBmkKx6

UNHCR is alarmed by the unfolding humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan. 400,000 have been forced from their homes this year, joining 2.9 million Afghans already internally displaced. 80% of those forced to flee since May are women and children. [1/5] https://t.co/P51We7ps7A
