resettle

More than 16,000 Afghans and family members were eligible to resettle under an existing relocation scheme.

As they walk through the Mexican capital, they admit to having half a mind to resettle here one day.

The total includes 7,445 refugees who were resettled in the UK, 88% of whom arrived through the Afghan Resettlement Programme.

The letter also calls for children and their families to have the option of claiming asylum, or resettling, in the UK once treatment is completed.

The situation is made more worrying by the fact the family's details were among those of nearly 19,000 Afghans who had applied to resettle in the UK which were inadvertently leaked in February 2022.
