Afghanistan Withdrawal: Veterans and Volunteers Continue the Fight for Afghan Allies

Three years after the U.S. exit from Kabul, many Americans are still working tirelessly to help Afghans left behind.

  • Veterans and civilians have formed grassroots networks to assist Afghan allies with resettlement and basic needs.
  • Efforts include navigating complex visa processes, providing financial aid, and offering housing in the U.S.
  • The term 'moral injury' describes the emotional toll on volunteers who feel their government abandoned Afghan partners.
  • Over 160,000 Afghans have been relocated to the U.S. since the fall of Kabul, but many more are still waiting.
  • Volunteers and advocates call for legislative action and better mental health support for those aiding resettlement.
