25%
The Home Office expects Afghan women and girls and Palestinian refugees to make up about 25% of arrivals under the scheme.
Shabana Mahmood is set to reopen the UK refugee resettlement scheme, prioritising vulnerable Afghan women and girls and Palestinians. Palestinian referrals will initially be limited to very small numbers of urgent cases already outside Gaza, processed in Jordan and Lebanon.
