Afghan Health
About Afghan Newcomers
During the drawdown of U.S. troops in the summer of 2021, more than 100,000 SIV holders, applicants, and other Afghans were airlifted to safety, some arriving in the U.S. where they were temporarily accommodated at military installations around the country. Many more were accommodated at overseas U.S. bases awaiting further processing and resettlement. While Afghans who arrived in the U.S. as part of Operations Allies Welcome have reached a safe haven from the Taliban, their sudden and chaotic departure was dangerous and traumatic. Many left behind everything including family, friends, and livelihoods.
