One year later, Afghan refugees are torn between new lives and families left behind with the Taliban

In Afghanistan this week, torrential rains and flooding have killed at least 180 people in the central and eastern parts of the country. It's just one of many hardships Afghans have faced in the year since the Taliban took over the country.

More than 76,000 Afghan refugees fled to the U.S. in the week after the take-over, most of them with ties to the United States. Today, they struggle to forge new lives as their relatives back home struggle to meet basic needs — from food to medical care, to education.

Among those who managed to escape were Shafi Amani and his wife Farahnaz Amani. Both worked in security at the Kabul airport. Producer Karyn Miller-Medzon spoke to Shafi in February and checks in with him today, one year after the Taliban take-over.
