Sounds terrifying. I guess in any other circumstances she wouldn't have got on a plane in the first place.

They have landed in Germany and are being looked after.

How terrifying. The whole situation is awful and shameful.

It’s good they managed to land and medical staff were able to help her. I also suspect she’s incredibly relived that she was able to get on that plane and not given birth in Afghanistan.

The stress could have brought on labour early. I’m glad that both her and the baby are doing ok.

Poor woman. But at least she's out of that hellhole.
