An anonymous reader trying to help charity workers get out of Afghanistan despairs at how one was turned away for the lack of a passport while ministers were being distracted by efforts to rescue animals
My son-in-law has a charity that helps with the education of girls in Afghanistan, and we have spent the last 10 days working to get some of our workers who would be at extreme danger from the Taliban out of the country.
We have hardly slept over the last week. We have been following every lead and glimmer of hope to try to achieve this. We managed to get some of the women out, thanks to our wonderful British soldiers on the ground.
