A charity has called for the Isle of Man to consider housing refugees from Afghanistan.
The Taliban's rapid takeover of the country since Western forces began to leave has caused thousands of people to flee.
Previously the Manx Government ruled out housing Syrian refugees but has not revealed its position on accepting refugees from Afghanistan.
Christian Aid campaigner Louise Whitelegg says a 'proper converstation' is needed.
"I don't dismiss that at all, but we have charities and government structures to help people in need on the island," she said.
The charity will be holding a vigil today at the Trinity Methodist Church in Douglas between 4pm and 8pm.
