Several European countries are also flying Afghans out of the country. But there’s already concern in the EU about another major wave of migration.

French President Emmanuel Macron has said Europe must “protect itself” from an influx of Afghan migrants.

Greece has completed a border fence with Turkey, in an effort to deter Afghan migrants.

Turkey, which hosts millions of Syrian refugees, has also beefed up its own border security with walls, ditches and barbed wire in the wake of Kabul’s fall to the Taliban.

Australia has launched a campaign urging Afghans not to attempt to make the dangerous voyage to the country by sea. The country has pledged to take in just 3,000 Afghan refugees.
