Update on Displaced Afghans in Afghanistan and the US | News

Today we are talking about the evolving state of Afghanistan. We talk about the deteriorating conditions for people still inside the country, including repression of rights, lack of funding for schools, and other humanitarian problems. We also talk about the challenges Afghan evacuees are facing in the United States. Due to the strain on resettlement agencies and the current housing shortage, Afghan refugees are sometimes being left without much support and housed in AirBNBs or hotels. If you'd like some next steps to help Afghan refugees, check out this page from Lutheran Services Carolinas (a resettlement agency active in the Carolinas). Here they talk about their food shuttle, and there's more info on their website about other ways to help: https://lscarolinas.net/2021/12/07/lsc-and-inter-faith-food-shuttle-partner-to-help-afghan-refugees-in-triangle-area/ Liked this episode?
