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

The UN says they are among the top asylum seekers in the world. With a third of the country’s people struggling to eat, and the Taliban government banning women from work and education, thousands of Afghans are trying to flee the country every day.

The BBC has had rare access to those attempting to flee Afghanistan who describe extraordinary risks they take.
