An Irish citizen stuck in Afghanistan with his young family has said it was “impossible” to get his family to the place where he was meant to be evacuated by Irish embassy staff.

Omid Ahmadi, who has lived in Ireland for 18 years, travelled to Afghanistan with his wife and two daughters aged just two and four, before the Taliban seized control — and he hasn't been able to get out since.
