The Biden administration will resume flights with Afghan evacuees into U.S. cities from overseas bases following a pause to vaccinate thousands of people.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that the flights from the Middle East, Europe, and domestic flights will start this week after a vaccination campaign.
