It's been a year since the fall of Afghanistan's government, and the return to power of the Taliban.
The lightning advance on Kabul prompted scenes of chaos at the airport as people tried to flee - over 120,000 were airlifted out of the country in the days that followed.
In the year since, the UN has warned the combination of conflict, pandemic, drought and restriction of foreign aid has left 23 million people at risk of hunger and starvation.
As feared, the Taliban's restrictions on women were quickly reinstated - including a ban on girls being able to go to secondary school.
One person determined not to let the world forget that is BBC journalist Yalda Hakim, who puts out a daily tweet with the number of days since teenage girls were allowed in the classroom.
Her foundation, set up in 2018 to help get young Afghans into higher education, helped evacuate over 2-hundred students and other at-risk people from the country.
