Shocking footage shows people desperately trying to flee as violence and kidnappings of women and girls broke out across the country.

The Quicky speaks to two experts in international security and gender to find out how the situation deteriorated so quickly following the recent withdrawal of American and Australian troops, and what we can all do to help.

If you would like to support vulnerable Afghans fleeing their homes amid the current crisis, you can make a donation to the UUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
