STARTTS Statement: Attack on civilians evacuating Kabul Airport

We are devastated by news of terror attacks in Kabul overnight, targeting civilians in their fraught attempt to evacuate Afghanistan safely.

This incident only compounds an already horrific situation for those in Afghanistan, adding more distress to an already highly traumatised Afghan community residing in Australia, increasing our concern for their well-being as they deal with this crisis.

STARTTS, and our FASSTT sister services elsewhere in Australia will continue to work to the full extent of our resources to support our clients and Afghan communities who are understandably enormously affected by the devastating events taking place in Kabul and Afghanistan in general.

We stand in solidarity with you at this difficult time.

Jorge Aroche,
CEO STARTTS
