Some Kabul safe houses, where hundreds of Afghans who helped the Canadian military and non-governmental organizations are waiting to flee to Canada, are set to be closed in two weeks because of lack of funding.

An organization running the safe houses, where around 1,700 people with approval to come to Canada are being housed and fed, say that "time has run out" for them.

Afghans already approved to come to Canada are to be told imminently there is not enough funding to keep housing them all, said Stephen Watt from Northern Lights Canada, which works with refugees. "By working with our allies, civil society groups, neighbouring countries and an array of other partners, we're exhausting all options and finding new routes to bring refugees to safety in Canada," Alex Cohen said in a written statement.

Aman Lara, the Canadian non-governmental organization that is running the safe houses on the ground, said because evacuations were so slow it did not have funds to keep them all open. Interpreters, and others who helped Canadians posted in Afghanistan, were shepherded to the relative safety of Kabul before the Taliban took control of the country. Canada ended its airlift mission from Kabul near the end of August as the U.S. was completing its own withdrawal from the country. Thousands of people with permission to travel to Canada were left behind -- including Canadian citizens.
