The latest reports from Afghanistan reveal that Christians have been fleeing the cities, moving to remote areas to escape the Taliban. Many Christians who remain are trapped inside the country, unable to leave via its now-sealed borders. Some have received death threats.
Although many Christians managed to get out ahead of the Taliban advance, there are still thought to be several thousand in Afghanistan. Even if they wanted to leave they could not, as the borders are strictly controlled by the Taliban.
Pakistan and Iran would normally be the natural escape routes for fleeing Afghans. But the Pakistan border is officially closed to refugees from Afghanistan, and both Pakistan and Iran say they have reached their limit of refugees and asylum seekers.
