The Afghan migrants risking their lives to reach UK | BBC News
Afghans are the second largest group of migrants coming to the UK illegally in small boats.
The UN says they are among the top asylum seekers in the world. With a third of the country’s people struggling to eat, and the Taliban government banning women from work and education, thousands of Afghans are trying to flee the country every day.
But leaving Afghanistan has become harder than ever before with countries like Pakistan, Iran and Turkey intensifying their crackdown on illegal migration from the country in the past year.
The BBC has had rare access to those attempting to flee Afghanistan who describe extraordinary risks they take.
