Where will the fleeing Afghan refugees go?

Afghanistan's neighbors Iran, Pakistan and Turkey are refugees and can go by land. Faced with a new wave of refugees, Britain, Canada, France, the United States and other countries have put forward plans to accept refugees. Australia, Switzerland, Austria and other countries have made it clear that they will not accept refugees directly.

It has been a week since the Taliban entered Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. At present, the security situation in Kabul is stable and the streets are crowded. However, more than 2,000 people from many provinces in Afghanistan are still waiting outside Kabul airport. In 5 to 10 minutes, Taliban militants and American soldiers fired into the air to disperse the crowd.

On August 2 1, at Kabul airport in Afghanistan, some people still tried to escape, and many others fled to neighboring countries through land passages.

Afghans may flee in large numbers:

According to the report, concerns about strict Islamic laws are not the only reason why Afghans may flee. Violence, drought and COVID-19 epidemic have made millions of Afghans in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, and many of them may become economic migrants in the coming months.

The Taliban closed important border crossings, and the number of Afghans crossing the border was "very limited". However, the EU said that due to the unstable situation under the Taliban, "in the long run, the immigration pressure will increase".

According to UNHCR, since June 5438+ 10, more than 550,000 Afghans have been internally displaced due to the deterioration of the security situation. The EU urges member states to increase the entry quota for Afghans who need protection, especially women.
