The UK government is set to open new refugee resettlement routes aimed at Afghan women and girls, as well as Palestinians, under a scheme announced by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood. The move comes as ministers face continued pressure over Britain's asylum policy and its commitments to people displaced by the fall of Kabul and the situation in Gaza. Details of eligibility and numbers have not yet been fully set out, and the plan is likely to draw debate both from campaigners welcoming the routes and critics of government migration policy.
Why now: A new government resettlement scheme affecting two high-profile displacement crises is significant migration policy news.
