UN urges countries to accept Afghan refugees, refrain from deportation

The UN Secretary-General went on to say that the capital city (Kabul) has seen a huge influx of internally displaced persons from provinces across the country where they felt insecure and fled during the fighting.

I remind all parties of their obligations to protect civilians, he said. "I also urge all countries to be willing to accept refugees and refrain from any deportations," he added.
