英国内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈茂德宣布了新的“安全和合法”难民途径，表示将允许慈善机构和非营利组织在限额和受控的计划下担保难民。
UK Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced new “safe and legal” routes for refugees, saying charities and nonprofit organizations would be allowed to sponsor refugees under a capped and controlled scheme.
马哈茂德在利物浦举行的工党年会上表示：“我知道英国人民并未放弃他们的信念，即我们应该富有同情心，履行我们的国际义务，并拯救那些逃离战争和迫害的人的生命。”她补充说：“但我也知道这个过程必须有限额和受控。”
"I know the British people have not given up on their belief that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations, and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution,” Mahmood said at Labour's annual conference in Liverpool. "But I also know this process must be capped and controlled," she added.
据马哈茂德介绍，“社区担保途径”和“学生担保途径”的申请将于10月开放。
Applications for a "community sponsorship route" and a "student sponsorship route" will open in October, according to Mahmood.
马哈茂德表示，通过新计划抵达的首批难民预计将于明年秋季进入英国。
The first refugees arriving through the new scheme are expected to enter the UK next autumn, according to Mahmood.
她还宣布，英国将与联合国合作重新开放英国重新安置途径，政府将开始接收“来自世界各地的弱势难民”。她说：“其中四分之一将是逃离塔利班迫害的阿富汗妇女和女孩，以及逃离加沙恐怖局势的巴勒斯坦人。”
She also announced that the UK Resettlement Route will reopen in partnership with the UN, with the government beginning to accept "vulnerable refugees from across the world." "A quarter will be Afghan women and girls, fleeing persecution under the Taliban, and Palestinians who have fled the horrors of Gaza," she said.
马哈茂德补充说：“这就是我们能做的——这就是我们能成为的样子——在我们恢复对边境的控制、打击小船偷渡、释放这个国家固有的慷慨精神的过程中。”
"This is what we can do -- this is who we can be -- as we restore control to our borders, bear down on small boat crossings, and unlock the inherent generosity of this country," Mahmood added.
