The American, who just got married and said she is pregnant, says she wonders if she will die in Afghanistan
A pregnant woman named Nasria, a California native, flew to Afghanistan in June to visit family and get married. As of early September, she remained one of the estimated 100 to 200 Americans left behind in the chaotic withdrawal of U.S. forces, according to a report.
Now that the U.S. military is gone, the Taliban is “hunting Americans,” she told the Voice of America.
“I think to myself, ‘Am I going to make it home? Am I going to end up living here? Am I going to end up dying here? What’s going to happen?'” Nasria, 25, who asked to be referred to only by her first name for safety reasons, said.
“Apparently they’re [the Taliban] going door-to-door … trying to see if anybody has a blue passport,” she said.
Last week, U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., who has been working to rescue Americans remaining in Afghanistan, said during an appearance on Fox News that Nasria had been kicked in the stomach by Taliban fighters.
“Anyone who says there aren’t people stranded is wrong,” Issa said during the broadcast.
As the country fell to the Taliban, Nasria and her husband, an Afghan national, hurried to the overcrowded and chaotic Kabul airport in an effort to evacuate.
“It was so hard to get on a flight. There were a couple of days where we had to sleep on streets,” she said. “People were literally stepping over people. That’s how bad it was.”
