More than 60 Afghan refugees have been permanently rehoused in Liverpool after fleeing the Taliban.
Following the fall of Kabul last year, thousands were forced to leave their homes, fearing for their lives. Hundreds of those made their way to seek solace in Liverpool after the city became one of the first in the UK to pledge its support.
A specialist hotel in the south of the city has helped to provide shelter to around 300 refugees in the city since last summer. Of the first cohort of those housed in the hotel, 63 have now been given permanent accommodation in Liverpool through the local authority’s work with social landlords.
