The UK is going to restart a resettlement program that will prioritize Palestinian refugees and Afghan women, the Guardian reported on Sunday.
According to the report British Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will announce the reopening of the UK resettlement scheme at the Labour Party conference tomorrow. The scheme has been effectively suspended for the last two years although it was never formally closed.
Around 1/4 of the refugees in the resettlement program will consist of Palestinians and Afghans. The program will also make it easier for the refugees to receive permanent settlement rights in the UK.
This is a developing story.
