Airbnb is planning to start housing 20,000 Afghan refugees around the world free of charge.
Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said the refugees will be housed in properties listed on Airbnb’s platform and the stays will be funded by Airbnb.
Chesky did not specify exactly how much the company plans to spend on the commitment or how long refugees will be housed for.
The U.S. said Monday it has evacuated roughly 48,000 people from Afghanistan in recent days, while thousands are still trying to escape, fearing reprisals from the Taliban militants now in power.
