Philippines agrees to host Afghans awaiting resettlement in US
Briefly

The United States government has coordinated with the Philippines to host a limited number of Afghans who are processing visas for resettlement, providing necessary services such as food, housing, and medical care.
This agreement signifies the US's appreciation for its long-standing cooperation with the Philippines, especially in supporting Afghan allies after the 2021 Taliban takeover.
Approximately 300 Afghan applicants are expected to be processed in the Philippines, marking an important collaboration under President Ferdinand Marcos Jr's administration.
The ongoing plight of thousands of Afghans in third countries waiting for visas reflects the urgency and humanitarian commitment embodied in initiatives like Operation Allies Welcome.
