Bucks Man With Family In Kabul Reacts To Afghanistan Devastation
"The Afghan people have been left alone by the entire world to the Taliban," he said in a story on local connections to the Kabul takeover.
BUCKS COUNTY, PA — Syed Parast, who works at Flame Kabob in Bensalem and came to the United States when he was 15 years old, has spent the past days worried about his extended family in Kabul.
"They just stay indoors," Parast told 6ABC. "Stay home for right now. All the shops are closed and no one has work."
He and several others, including a former interpreter who lives in Philadelphia and a veteran who works with the Travis Manion Foundation in Bucks County, spoke with 6ABC for a story Tuesday about how the Taliban takeover in Afghanistan is impacting people here in eastern Pennsylvania.
