As the UK Government promises to take in up to 20,000 Afghan refugees, but only 5,000 in the first year, we answer four key questions about the scheme.
After the fall of Kabul, countries across the developed world are set to see a new wave of migrants as the fall-out from the crisis spreads across the globe.
Boris Johnson today insisted Britain would honour its "enduring commitment" to Afghans.
But he was blasted by a string of Tories, along with figures from Labour, the church and the security services as a recalled Parliament was packed for the first time in 17 months - and anger bubbled over at the unfolding disaster in the capital Kabul.
So how will what is being promised by the Tory government work? What are other countries doing? What other help is available? Here is what you need to know.
What has the Government promised on resettlement?
The UK will take up to 20,000 Afghan refugees, with as many as 5,000 in the first year, who were forced to flee their home or face threats of persecution from the Taliban.
They will be helped to set up a permanent life here.
Priority will be given to women and girls, and religious and other minorities.
How will it work in practice?
Many of the details are still unclear but the Home Office said it will be similar to a successful scheme for Syrian refugees.
Afghans will have to apply from overseas – probably from refugee camps in the region – and arrive over five years.
Councils will support arrivals to rebuild their lives with housing, schools, healthcare and finding jobs.
What other help is being provided?
The resettlement scheme is in addition to the Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy, which offers locally employed staff whose lives are at risk priority relocation to the UK.
Some 5,000 former Afghan staff and their family members are expected to be relocated to the UK by the end of this year under the scheme, with ministers suggesting this number could double.
What are other countries doing?
Germany is taking in around 10,000 refugees, while Canada has started with 20,000 and the US could take in up to 9,000 a day.
G7 leaders will next week try to strike a deal on assistance, how to assess who is granted refuge and how to deal with a Taliban government.
