A pregnant New Zealand journalist who was stranded in Afghanistan by her home country’s Covid border policy says she will return home after her government offered her a pathway back.
said Tuesday she will return home after her government offered her a pathway back.
Her case had quickly becoming an embarrassment to New Zealand, which has thousands of citizens waiting abroad for space to open in the military-run border quarantine hotels.Bellis said she wanted to thank fellow New Zealanders for their support and would continue to challenge the government to find a solution to its border controls. She added that she was disappointed the decision was a one-off and didn’t offer a pathway home for other pregnant New Zealanders.
Bunny said the publicity surrounding the case was not a deciding factor and the sole consideration was Bellis’s safety. Hopping from country to country on tourist visas while she waited to have her baby would have cost money and left her without health care, so she and Huylebroek returned to Afghanistan because they had a visa, felt welcome and from there could wage her battle to return to her home.
