'We are the lucky ones' Here are some of the stories from people arriving in the UK who have been evacuated from Afghanistan
Thousands of people are said to be waiting to board flights at Kabul's international airport, just over a week after the Taliban seized the capital.
"From the back street, I saw hundreds and hundreds of people just running and walking towards the airport. People are getting out of the cars and running towards the airport," she said. A local family took her in and let her charge her phone - which she used to call the Foreign Office and her MP in London, Gareth Thomas.
She said she fled the country quickly because the situation was "very unpredictable". Ms Syed turned up at the airport with her Afghan passport and British driving licence - her husband and children are in the UK.
