Summary

While thousands still want out of Afghanistan, whether you are an American or native Afghan that wants to escape Taliban rule, some are purposefully staying to help where they can.

FOX’s Simon Owen speaks to Alberto Cairo, head of the Red Cross's orthopaedic program in Afghanistan, about the current situation there and why he has decided to stay.
