'Just the clothing they were wearing.' What refugees from Afghanistan face in the US

from The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio · host Audacy

It has been a year since the US officially pulled out of Afghanistan. When the US left, thousands of Afghans left as well, some settling in the United States. Many had to leave in the middle of the night, possibly with a bag, some just the clothes they were wearing. We wanted to talk about what the last year has been like for the people who resettled here in America. What kind of challenges have Afghan families faced in a new country? What kind of support do they need? We asked Nazanin Ash, CEO of Welcome.US and Wida Amir, board member of the Afghan-American Foundation.
