Charlotte Bellis joined "America’s Newsroom" to discuss her journey to return home and how she is seeking refuge with the Taliban since she claims she didn't meet the medical threshold to return to New Zealand, which has put into place some of the strictest COVID measures in the world since the pandemic began.
"They rejected us," Bellis told co-host Dana Perino. "They said, frankly, you're outside some kind of 14-day arbitrary window that we have, but even if you were inside it, you haven't met the threshold for needing medical treatment."
"You haven't proven that you couldn't get similar treatment in Afghanistan, which we were dumbfounded," she continued.
