Thousands still awaiting decision on Afghan resettlement applications

Sasha Misra, head of communications public affairs and policy at Help for Heroes, said: “Help for Heroes has always recognised the efforts of civilians embedded in the Armed Forces, who served under UK command. We see the ongoing issues many of these individuals face: fear for family left behind in Afghanistan, mental trauma, physical pain and challenges finding their place in society. The Government must prevent these struggles from becoming lifelong battles for Afghan nationals who stood with us, endured real threat to their lives and those of their families and, without whom, many more lives would undoubtedly have been lost.”
