'The best thing you can do is flee': Dr Abdullah Afghan says his family 'have no hope for a life under the Taliban', and are seeking to get out like many thousands of others such as these families crossing into Pakistan at Chaman earlier this week. Picture: Jafar Khan/AP
A Meath doctor whose family is trapped in Afghanistan says he believes their chances of escaping Afghanistan now are “extremely slim".
Dr Abdullah Afghan, who has been practising as a doctor in Ireland since 2014, had his application to bring his family members to Ireland rejected by the Irish authorities on Monday.
