What the petition asks
There is video evidence of ongoing shocking scenes at Kabul airport, showing people desperately trying to access Kabul airport. Without assistance UK citizens & Afghans at risk will not be able to access the airport safely. Please provide military intervention for evacuations to happen.
I have first-hand experience of living and working in Afghanistan as a charity worker. Even without this first-hand experience, people are shocked and dismayed at what is unfolding in Afghanistan. We all ask the government to act now to assist and enable all UK nationals and Afghans at risk safe passage to Kabul airport and successful evacuation.
