Charlotte Bellis can now go home.
the government gives the green light to return home, a flight and quarantine are ready for her.
The pregnant New Zealand journalist, reluctantly helped by the Taliban, can now return home.
Charlotte Bellis, a reporter from New Zealand, was stranded in Afghanistan due to anti-covid restrictions imposed by her country of origin.
Thanks to the strong echo caused by social media and word of mouth, the woman’s case has attracted so much public attention that the New Zealand government has offered an ad hoc quarantine on the first available flight.
A step backward, after the country had refused her permission because of the pandemic.
According to the BBC, Deputy Minister Grant Robertson told reporters during a briefing: “There is a place in managed isolation and quarantine for Mrs. Bellis and I urge you to take it.
but then defended the work of the government which has been exposed to strong criticism over the matter.
words that clash with what Bellis has claimed in recent days, to have sent 59 applications to the New Zealand authorities to obtain an emergency green light, without ever getting a response.
Now the situation seems resolved and seems rather bizarre all this because of a situation, that of the pandemic, difficult to manage, but now livable since 93% of the population is vaccinated and fully adapted to the new social situation that has lived with us for more than two years.
We wish Charlotte a good return home, to take care of her baby on the way, rest, and resumption of work successfully as she has always faced communicating to all of us the best of authoritative information and free as she and very few knew how to do
