Thousands of Afghans who worked for Britain remain stranded in the country, MPs warn
‘We owe it to those who placed their lives in danger to help us to get them and their families to safety,’ Tory MP Tobias Ellwood says
SEVERAL thousand Afghans who worked for the British mission remain stranded in Afghanistan well over a year since the fall of Kabul, a damning report by MPs has said.
The Ministry of Defence (MoD) admitted to the Commons defence committee that around 4,600 people eligible for relocation to Britain under a resettlement scheme have yet to be evacuated from the Taliban-controlled country.
The committee’s report today urges ministers to detail what action is being taken to ensure their safe passage to Britain.
