  • 24 Jul 2021

US President Joe Biden has authorised up to $100 million from an emergency fund to meet "unexpected urgent" refugee needs stemming from the current situation in Afghanistan. The funds will also support Afghan Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) applicants. The US is preparing to evacuate thousands of Afghan SIVs applicants at risk from Taliban because they worked for the US government.
