Kabul: In an episode showing the helplessness of the people in distress amid Taliban insurgence, dozens of families from Kunduz, Takhar, and Badakhshan provinces sought refuge in Kabul after fleeing the fighting in the three northern provinces.

They spent the night open-air ever since arriving in the capital city on Saturday.

Some of those who spoke to TOLO News have lost loved ones, their houses, and other belongings, and some have been wounded in the recent fighting.

The Taliban captured five crucial cities n the country in recent times.

In one instance four children from the same family slept in the open air. The mother of these children, Shaima, said she left everything in the city of Kunduz and came here with family members, Tolo News reported.

“Bombs came from one side and bullets from another. Homes were destroyed,” Shaima said.

“Who is interested in leaving their home and living in this dust?” said Abdul Qayum, a displaced person from Kunduz.

Malika, a resident of Kunduz, said she gave her jewelry to a driver to take her and her family to Kabul.

“The president harmed the honor of this people. Abdullah during elections did not agree on a 50-50 government. Now why is he not going to the frontlines like Ismail Khan?” Malika told the news portal.
