Little girl handed over to US soldiers

Has anyone seen the video on the BBC website showing the little girl being handed over a wall to US soldiers at Kabul airport? She can only have been under 2 years old. I can't stop thinking about it. I wonder what on earth happened to her. I have a toddler myself and it's so upsetting (obvs upsetting regardless but the idea of feeling your only chance to save your child is to hand your baby over to a soldier is just terrifying).

Has anyone seen this or know any more if this story? Sadly I know it's just a tiny moment in a catastrophe full of horror stories.

I have only just seen this thread but the video of the little girl Aisha has had me in tears all evening. I can't stop thinking about how her mum, probably just like me, absolutely adored her baby girl and the unimaginable horror of them being parted forever like this.

I honestly can't believe the world has allowed this to happen.

^ Me neither. I'm so very ashamed and so sorry to all the people of Afghanistan.

I feel the same. It's like an awful horror movie. The fact that this has been allowed to happen, knowing the fate these people are going to face is sickening and shameful.

I feel so powerless and helpless. I have donated money and arranged clothes but live too far from anywhere to be a host. What can we do to help these poor people and their little ones left behind?

How long are the Afghan people going to survive who were left behind. I particularly worry about the widows left with children and the young women and girls. What a nightmare!
