Afghan Migrants Face Deadly Risks in Bid to Reach the UK
Afghan migrants, like former army officer Azaan, undertake life-threatening journeys to escape Taliban rule, risking perilous border crossings into Turkey and beyond. With increased crackdowns and deportations from Iran and Pakistan, many Afghans pay smugglers thousands of dollars for dangerous passages, including scaling a nearly 300km wall into Turkey. In Kabul, families mourn loved ones lost during these treacherous attempts. As international support wanes, Afghans grapple with desperation, fighting for survival in a land fraught with danger and uncertainty.
