Description
Kabul; August 15, 2021. It was supposed to be Marwa’s first day back at medical school. After more than a year of the pandemic’s isolation, here, at last, was a cause for celebration. She set out her books and ironed the dress specially chosen for the occasion. But when she awoke that morning, giddy anticipation quickly gave way to panic and fear. The streets were thronged with desperate crowds, everyone pressing in the same direction. The Taliban were coming. They had only hours to get out.
