從阿富汗徒步經伊朗等地，向英國逃難，多艱難危險的路徑

 An Afghan translator named Akhtar Mohammad hiked the Dorset coast for a veterans charity after coming to the UK as a refugee from Afghanistan. Mohammad came to the UK after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in 2021. He walked the coast to raise money for the Veterans Hub because he felt supported and welcomed there. He said he wanted to give back to the charity because he felt the veterans had served his country. 

The UK has brought around 24,600 people to safety from Afghanistan, including British citizens and others with settled status. The government has several schemes to help Afghan people, including: 

• Afghan Citizens Resettlement Scheme (ACRS)

  The ACRS opened in January 2022 and allows up to 20,000 refugees to settle in the UK. 
• ACRS separated families pathway

  This pathway was created to reunite families who were separated during the evacuation of Afghanistan. Children who were evacuated without their parents can also apply for their parents and any siblings under 18 to come to the UK. 
• Operation Pitting

  This military operation began in August 2021 to evacuate British nationals and Afghans from Kabul.

Two years after the Taliban took Kabul, a think tank has criticised the UK's treatment of people escaping from Afghanistan.

More in Common said some had been living in hotels for two years, and now faced eviction.

How many Afghans have arrived in the UK?

The government says that around 24,600 people had arrived in the UK from Afghanistan as of the end of March 2023, including British nationals.

Of these, about 21,000 have been resettled under different schemes.

Most came as part of Operation Pitting, the British military operation to evacuate British nationals and Afghans from Kabul which began in August 2021.
