The explosions in Kabul are a tragic reminder of how important it is to help the people of Afghanistan

The Independent  

Two deadly explosions at Kabul airport have intensified an already difficult situation. Mr Johnson said that around 15,000 people have already been evacuated by British troops, and that they account for the “overwhelming majority” of those eligible to be evacuated, with the operation winding down. The home secretary, Priti Patel, acknowledged this when she said that the government was “absolutely dedicated and committed” to making sure people who do not escape Afghanistan ahead of the withdrawal would be able to make safe journeys to resettle in the UK. Finding ways to give safe passage to people who did not manage to escape in time will be one of the delicate tasks that will face the government in the coming months. There are a wide range of enterprises – some charitable, some governmental – focused on improving the lives of the Afghan people, typically dealing with education and healthcare rather than security.
