In two top secret operations, 167 Afghans — including human rights activists, judges, journalists, singers and members of the national women’s cycling and girl’s robotic teams, were rescued in the wake of the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. The missions were initiated by journalist Danna Harman and coordinated by IsraAID, in cooperation with the United Arab Emirates, Albania, Canada and other countries.
MediaCentral is inviting you to a Zoom meeting with Harman and two Afghan sisters that were separately rescued and who will share their stories and answer questions.
Danna Harman has lived in and reported stories from around the globe including Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Myanmar and the jungles of Papua New Guinea. She began her journalism career over 25 years ago with the Associated Press in Jerusalem and later became The Jerusalem Post’s diplomatic correspondent. Today, she is a staffer for the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and her freelance work appears in various other outlets and magazines such as The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and Elle and Porter.
