Afghans flee en masse as Taliban regime takes hold

Footage shows a huge human caravan, stretching as far as the eye can see, moving across Pakistan’s desert border and into Iran as tens of thousands are set to flee Taliban-held Afghanistan. Pictured is the end of a gruelling four-hour trek through rough mountainous terrain in Afghanistan’s Nimruz province. Migrants who have survived the journey speak of the chaos they have seen with thousands of vulnerable and elderly people now making the perilous trip, desperate to escape the clutches of the Taliban. For these men, women and children, their initial destination is likely to be Turkey, still more than 1,000 miles away across Iran, and from there many of them will hope to come to Europe and Britain.
