Afghan refugees seeking asylum in the UK have been “let down” by the country, according to a recent report by the think tank More in Common. The organization expressed concerns over the living conditions of some Afghan refugees, who have been residing in hotels for up to two years and are now confronted with the threat of eviction. More in Common emphasized the need for improved support for refugees to ensure better outcomes in the future.
This report comes on the two-year anniversary of the UK’s evacuation program and the fall of Kabul to the Taliban on August 15, 2021. Operation Pitting, which took place during the fall of Kabul, facilitated the evacuation of around 15,000 people, including British nationals and those who collaborated with the UK in Afghanistan.
