Afghan refugees arrive in Birmingham ready to be relocated across UK

Gifts including toiletries, toys and clothing have poured in for charitable organisations in recent days as reported figures suggest almost 2,000 Afghan refugees have already arrived in the United Kingdom following the fall of Kabul. Charities in Birmingham and Scarborough have shared pictures of thousands of gifts that were provided by generous locals wanting to aid those fleeing persecution in Afghanistan. The Bushey United Synagogue in Hertfordshire also received supplies for newly arrived Afghan families to the area after a Facebook request was met with ’a tremendous act of love’ from the local community. Hotels across Britain have flung open their doors for arriving Afghans as they flee the clutches of the Taliban in their homeland. Rooms in Kent, West Yorkshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire and more have been prepared as refugees continue to fly into airports including Birmingham and RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire.
