5 Turkish workers stranded in Kabul rescued by Turkish authorities

Five Turkish healthcare workers who found themselves stranded in the Afghan capital Kabul this week were rescued by Turkish security forces after they appealed for help online.

The healthcare workers – including two women – came to Afghanistan a few weeks ago to work in a hair transplant clinic but after Sunday’s Taliban takeover, issued a call for help in a video they posted on social media.

Responding to the call, Turkish security forces safely brought the workers to Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport for evacuation.

Speaking to Anadolu Agency, Aleyna Tiki, one of the workers who sought help, thanked the Turkish security forces, including the police special operations team, for their timely rescue.
