Those who made it on to flights tell of relief mixed with fear for others targeted by Taliban
Back in Afghanistan, Hasib Nooralam had a high-flying career and was working as the director of youth crime at the attorney general’s office when the Taliban took over.
After a treacherous journey to the airport, he was evacuated to the UK last week but is not sure what the future holds. “I’m relieved to be here but I lost a lot of things. I lost my job, my position, everything. It’s painful for me,” he said from the hotel room in central London, where he is in quarantine. “I had a very good position inside Afghanistan but in the UK, it’s so difficult to find a job here.”
