<p>The Government responded swiftly to the fast-moving and challenging events in Afghanistan,
including supporting the largest and fastest evacuation in recent history. We can
be proud as a country that we helped over 15,000 people to safety from Afghanistan
in August 2021 and we continue to do all we can to enable those who are eligible to
relocate to the UK.</p><p>There have been approximately 100 Afghan journalists who
have been evacuated and brought to safety since 1 August 2021. Those who entered were
granted Leave Outside the Rules (LOTR) for 6 months, this status is not a bar to them
being permanently housed or to starting their life in the UK.</p><p>The Home Office
is currently supporting those here in the UK to assist them to obtain Indefinite Leave
to Remain status.</p>
