The New York rabbi evacuating desperate Afghans
It was the story of four children hiding from the Taliban in an apartment in Afghanistan's capital Kabul that made a rabbi thousands of miles away in Brooklyn, New York, pick up his phone and make a crucial call.
Days earlier, Afghans gathered in large crowds at the gates to Kabul airport desperate to leave the country after the takeover by the Taliban on 15 August.
"I thought about those four kids, all younger than 18, I thought 'who knows if they are still alive, I have to try to reach them'," Rabbi Moshe Margaretten, 41, tells the BBC.
After learning that their mother had left Afghanistan for the US years earlier following her husband's sudden disappearance - leaving the children behind with relatives - he tracked down the attorney representing the family.
"I told her, believe it or not, I think I can help those children get to the airport."
Rabbi Margaretten's mission to reunite the four children with their mother in the US was something he says he was desperate to achieve quickly.
Through his organisation - the Tzedek Association - and a network of people based in the region, he set about putting the wheels in motion.
