For 18 months, Alia has been waiting in a transit camp in Qatar for her promised resettlement to the US.
But now that route appears to have closed for good. Where she and hundreds of other Afghan evacuees will end up next is unknown.
Going back home to Afghanistan is not an option. It is too dangerous, Alia says. And since the US and Israel began a war with Iran, the evacuees are not safe where they are either.
"We have been betrayed. Not by the American people, but by those in government who had promised to take us to safety in America," says Alia, who worked as a lawyer in Afghanistan before the Taliban took over the country in 2021.
Alia - whose name has been changed for her safety - is among a group of more than 1,100 people evacuated from Afghanistan by the US who are now stuck in limbo in Camp As-Sayliyah (CAS) in Doha.
