“I kept thinking, after everything I did for the Americans,” he said. “After all my hard work and risking my life, now this is what happens to my family? They are leaving us to die here.”

As hundreds of Afghan evacuees landed safely in South Korea on Thursday, children were given teddy bears and met with welcome banners at Seoul’s Incheon airport.
“We love all of you,” read one banner from a church group that was displayed outside the National Human Resources Development Institute, where those who fled Afghanistan are reported to be temporarily housed. “We will share your pain. Have a comfortable stay,” read another.
Among those landing in the country are medical professionals and interpreters who have worked for the South Korean government, and an estimated 100 children — including three newborns.
