The United States has terminated the temporary protected status for Afghanistan, stripping protection from deportation from 11,700 Afghans already in the States. They have also closed the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts office, citing improved security conditions in Afghanistan. But refugee advocates and former US Afghanistan veterans say this will put these people in danger, especially those who aided US forces against the Taliban. Meanwhile, Afghanistan has become one of the most unsafe places in the world for women and millions of people are facing food and water shortages due to climate change.
