Kabul: The only Jewish community members of Afghanistan have left the country recently, a month after the Afghanistan government was formed by the Taliban forces, media reports said on Friday.

After leaving the country, they are currently living in Albania.

Toba Moradi who was born and raised in the Afghan capital Kabul wants to go to Canada and start a new life with four of her children already settled there, Khaama Press reported.

They were all rescued by IsraAid humanitarian organization that receives assistance from the Israeli President, the news agency reported.

“I left Afghanistan, I loved my country Afghanistan, loved it very much. I had to leave because my children were in danger. I am happy that I am going to see my children. My children are in different places, one in one place the other one in the other place; I was not able to see them. I was crying," she told AP news agency.
