Efforts to resettle thousands of Afghan refugees in the United States have met new challenges as evacuation flights out of two American processing facilities abroad have been stopped.
The pause on flights, instituted by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, was based on “health safety concerns,” according to an agency document reviewed by The Associated Press. According to the news outlet, the decision followed recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to halt evacuation flights.
