Sat 21 August 2021:
US soldiers stationed at Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport are providing pork-containing meal packages to Afghans who are desperate for a way out of the country.
An Afghan woman, who is stranded at the airport with her children and husband, posted a photo of the food parcel on Instagram.
“Feeding us pork, which religiously is not allowed, and 95% of people here dont (sic) know how to read or speak English,” she wrote as she posted a photo of the package containing “pork sausage patty, maple flavored.”
“They’re not handing it to us, they are throwing these packets to us from a distance,” she added.
She said they have been sleeping on “rocks and trash” in the cold for four days, while American soldiers kept aim at them.
“We have no weapons,” she wrote. “Just trying to get out.”
Islam strictly prohibits the consumption of pork by Muslims.
As the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, thousands of Afghans rushed to Kabul airport in the hopes of catching a flight and fleeing the country.
