As countries open borders for more Afghan refugees following the United States military withdrawal from Afghanistan, the now-adult woman has reached safety.<\/p>\n

Sharbat Gula has been evacuated to Italy. The Italian government announced the news in a statement saying;<\/p>\n

\u201cAfghan citizen Sharbat Gula has arrived in Rome.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
