Afghan women fleeing the Taliban shared their stories at the Chaman border crossing on Friday, as Afghans continued to enter Pakistan.

“Because of the war, hospitals were closed and there’s no doctors. We have come to Pakistan for our treatment. Every department there, including the hospital, was closed,” one woman said.

Another woman said, “the Taliban took control of all the cities and markets. There were no wages. Then we were forced to come here. There was work and business in Afghanistan. There’s no medicine in the hospitals. There’s nothing.”

Afghans could be seen queueing to cross the border, many of whom were women fearing the uncertainty of the new Taliban government after the group’s forces took the capital on Tuesday.

The recent Taliban offensive followed the announcement in April that the US and other NATO states would be withdrawing their forces from the country.

The Taliban took control of all the cities and markets. There were no wages. Then we were forced to come here. There was work and business in Afghanistan. There’s no medicine in the hospitals. There’s nothing. That is why we have come to Pakistan.”

SOT, Afghan woman: “I came from Afghanistan to Pakistan. There is not a good situation. My homeland is Afghanistan but I came from Afghanistan to Pakistan. Immigrated because the situation is very bad. There are a lot of Taliban. We can’t read. I am reading cinema and after that I can go anywhere like the boys, like others so it is a big problem for me because I want to go with others, going to picnic. After that I can’t go there.”

SOT, Afghan woman: “Because we do not have a government or anything else, they are saying we have armies, but we don’t have them after that because all of them are Taliban. So we can’t read we can’t live there.

SOT, Afghan woman (Pasho): “I am from Afghanistan. Because of the war, hospitals were closed and there’s no doctors. We have come to Pakistan for our treatment. Every department there, including the hospital, was closed. We came because of the war. I can’t get treatment in Afghanistan now.”
