'I am heartbroken and shattered, to see this really slow-motion horror movie playing out in front of your eyes. That trauma is just, it feels like you are being re-traumatized again,' said Haris Tarin, a 42-year old Afghan-American.
Ahmad Tariq Bahij, 35, says that he has taken the whole week off from his work to focus on his family members in Afghanistan.
"On two occasions she was beaten by the Taliban, very badly, because she had gone out from the house without a man accompanying her," Bahij said."My father was out from a mosque, and he was asked to go to the next one. And when he had argued with them that he already completed his prayers, he was beaten.
"I'm totally devastated right now because I left family behind. They are in the process to immigrate to Canada because they worked faithfully for the U.S. government. Now they are left behind," Habibzai said."Now I'm counting seconds, not minutes, seconds that they might be heard, they might be held."
He also has friends in a few other districts and has created a group chat with everyone living around the area.
