Afghan Athlete Zakia Khudadadi made a plea for help as she sought a way out of Kabul to rebuild her shattered dream of becoming the country's first female competitor at a Paralympic games.

The Afghanistan Paralympic Committee said the country's two Para-Athletes would not be at the games starting in Tokyo on August 24 due to Turmoil following the Taliban's takeover.

Para-taekwondo Athlete Khodadadi said in a video message from Kabul that she felt "imprisoned", staying with extended family but unable to leave the house with confidence to train, shop or check on others.

She said she felt an additional burden to her relations who did not have enough food to feed their own children.
