AirBnB CEO
Online home rental platform Airbnb has said it will house 20,000 Afghan refugees at no charge to help them resettle across the world.
The company's boss said the move was in response to "one of the biggest humanitarian crises of our time".
He said the firm felt a responsibility to step up.
Chief executive Brian Chesky added: "I hope this inspires other business leaders to do the same. There's no time to waste."
Thousands of people are trying to flee Afghanistan, while 3.5 million people have been left homeless within its borders as a result of ongoing conflict and political instability.
