Yesterday, the first group of New Zealand citizens, their families and other visa holders evacuated arrived in New Zealand.
New Zealand lawyer Claudia Elliott has worked across Afghanistan with the United Nations and is now trying to get visas to get at risk Afghani professionals to also be evacuated to New Zealand.

She spoke to Susie Ferguson.
