Jincheon County located in North Chungcheong Province is receiving applause from people across the country for housing hundreds of Afghans who were evacuated from their homeland, which has been overrun by the Taliban.


충청북도 진천군이 탈레반에 점령된 아프가니스탄에서 탈출한 수백 명의 아프간인을 수용해 전 국민에게 찬사를 받았다.



As a means to express their respect for the county's acceptance of the Afghan evacuees, many people have been flocking to its online shopping mall, which sells regional specialties such as rice, in recent days. A flood of orders from all over the country has resulted in the temporary suspension of the operation of the online mall.

진천군의 아프간 난민 수용에 대해 존경을 표하기 위해, 쌀과 같은 지역 특산물을 판매하는 온라인 쇼핑몰에 최근 많은 사람들이 몰리고 있다. 전국적으로 주문이 쇄도하면서 온라인몰 운영을 일시 중단했다.



A total of 390 Afghans who worked for Korea's embassy and its humanitarian and relief facilities in Afghanistan, were evacuated to Korea with their family members in two groups on military aircraft last week amid worsening security conditions there, due to the ongoing withdrawal of U.S. troops and the Taliban retaking power.

아프가니스탄 주재 한국 대사관과 봉사 및 구호 시설에서 일했던 아프간인 390명은 계속 진행 중인 미군 철수와 탈레반의 정권 재탈환으로 보안 체계가 무너지면서 최악으로 치닫는 상황인 가운데 지난주 가족 구성원들을 두 그룹으로 나누어 한국으로 대피했다.



The evacuees arrived at the Leadership Campus of the National Human Resources Development Institute in Jincheon, Friday, to stay for about eight weeks, including a two-week self-isolation period aimed at curbing the possible spread of COVID-19. After two weeks, they will be offered Korean language and cultural education for six weeks to help them if they choose to settle here.

지난 금요일 난민들은 약 8주 동안 머무를 진천 국가인재개발원 리더십캠퍼스에 도착했으며 코로나19 확산 방지를 위해 2주간 자가격리에 들어갔다. 2주가 지나고 우리 사회에 정착하고 싶은 경우, 이 아프간인들을 돕기 위해 약 6주간 한국어와 문화교육이 실시될 예정이다.
