Afghanistan: One family's story from Kabul to Aberdeen

Burhan Vesal had been an interpreter for the British forces in Afghanistan. When the country fell to the Taliban, he risked his life and the lives of his wife Narcis, a gynaecologist, and son Sepehr to leave Afghanistan and come to the UK.

The BBC has reported on their journey throughout. Helga Macfarlane, a woman living in Aberdeen, saw the story and decided to offer them help.

Watch the moment when Burhan and his family are relocated to their new home, and how they are coping almost one year later.
