About this episode
President Trump's decision to freeze refugee processing left thousands in limbo. For more than a year, 1,100 Afghan refugees who thought they were bound for the United States have been stranded on a disused military base in Qatar. Now, having fled one war, they're trapped in another and caught in the crosshairs of Iran's ballistic missile attacks. Special correspondent Leila Molana-Allen reports.
