The Italian State rescued a Christian Afghan family from Kabul last week.

They were brought out on an airlift organised by the Italian government to rescue Italian nationals and Afghans at risk.

A Catholic charity, the Fondazione Meet Human, accepted responsibility for the group of people once in Italy, which includes eight minors.

The Italian military helped solve the problem of getting them to the Kabul airport, an operation that was successful on Thursday of last week.

“We are grateful to Italian civilian and military authorities for this complicated and demanding rescue operation, not to mention the many people who worked for its success. It might be a drop in the ocean, but the ocean is made up of drops,” President of the charity, Daniele Nembrini, told AsiaNews.
