25 pictures of evacuated Afghans who arrived in US

More than 23,000 Afghan refugees, who were airlifted out of Kabul in past two months, have arrived in the United States. However, thousands of Afghan evacuees are still waiting at the US bases and other facilities in several countries. They will be transferred to the US after all formalities. The U.S. military alone is preparing to house and process a total of 50,000 evacuees, many of whom served alongside American forces during 20 years of war in Afghanistan. “Some of those brave Afghans will be coming to make new lives with their families in America,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said at the briefing Wednesday. Any prospective immigrants to the United States will undergo “careful screening and security vetting,” he added. (AP)
