Afghans are the second largest group of migrants coming to the UK illegally in small boats.

But leaving Afghanistan has become harder than ever before with countries like Pakistan, Iran and Turkey intensifying their crackdown on illegal migration from the country in the past year.
The BBC has had rare access to those attempting to flee Afghanistan who describe extraordinary risks they take.
