Humanitarian Crisis in Afghanistan: How Could Europe Respond to Growing Displacement?

24.08.2021 - Samuel Hall co-founder Nassim Majidi, joining MPI's Hanne Beirens and UNHCR's Aurvasi Patel, spoke on this MPI webinar, organised in response to recent events in Afghanistan. Fleeing political instability and potential economic collapse, many thousands of Afghan civilians have began to, and will continue to, flee their homes and seek refuge, both internally and abroad. This conversation sought to explore Europe's possible responses to the situation in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries. Nassim outlined, amongst other points, the vital importance of granting Afghans Prima Facie refugee status, and the need for civil society, the private and public sectors to mobilise, make demands, and take action to protect Afghans.
