(Picture: AP)A heavily pregnant charity worker is stranded in a “hell-hole prison camp” in Germany four days after an evacuation from Kabul, her boss has claimed.
Paul “Pen” Farthing, who owns Nowzad animal sanctuary, has said his manager is “terrified” and had told him there is “no system in place” at the camp, four days after boarding a flight which he said was supposed to take her to the United States.
Mr Farthing’s manager was one of the 25 Nowzad staff members he said he would not leave the country without, along with their dependents and animals. But he said that despite being a US citizen who left on an American evacuation flight, she is now with 9,000 other refugees in a camp which he said does not have enough food or toilets.
He said: “I truly believe that getting my manager out of Afghanistan was the right thing to do because I thought she’d be treated with dignity and a little bit of priority because she’s 33 weeks pregnant. To see her trapped in a hell-hole prison camp … I can’t express how angry and upset I am. She doesn’t even know exactly where she is right now.
“What happens if she has the baby in that camp — have they got the right facilities set up?”
