Dozens of Afghan Women Rescued from Kabul in Israeli-Emirati Aid Mission
(Telegraph-UK) James Rothwell - Israeli aid workers and the UAE earlier this month completed a daring rescue mission that saw 41 Afghans spirited to safety in Abu Dhabi, including 19 cycling team members, three robotics team members, their relatives, including some men, and a number of human rights activists. The evacuation bussed the Afghans through Taliban checkpoints and over the northern border into Tajikistan. Yotam Polizer, the CEO of IsraAID, said the team had to collect the Afghans from hiding without alerting the Taliban.
