The Israeli NGO IsraAID coordinated the evacuation of 125 people from Afghanistan via Albania earlier this month, the Jerusalem Post reported.

The organization helped evacuate several individuals at risk under Taliban rule.

Judges, professional cyclists, journalists, television presenters, human rights activists, relatives of Afghan diplomats, artists, and others vulnerable to targeting by the Taliban were assisted in leaving Afghanistan.

In September, IsraAID also helped evacuate 42 Afghan women and girls to the United Arab Emirates.

The Taliban overthrew the Afghan government in August, sparking large-scale flight from the nation, and putting many women and girls at risk.

United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres was reportedly "horrified" after hearing reports of the situation facing Afghanistan's women, and decried the Taliban's "severe restrictions on human rights in the areas they control."

The Taliban said that girls will be allowed to receive an education, but only if they are in separate classrooms.

Meanwhile, the Taliban government warned American and European envoys on Wednesday that attempts to exert pressure in the form of sanctions could trigger a wave of economic refugees.

US State Department spokesperson Ned Price reported on Tuesday that he held "productive discussions" with Taliban officials regarding humanitarian aid initiatives.
