Hasibullah Hasrat

Hasibullah Hasrat

From his apartment in Hyattsville, Md., Hasibullah Hasrat, 29, holds his phone showing a photograph of his children, Jamalnaser, 4, and Elina, 1, Wednesday, May 4, 2022, sent to him by his wife in Afghanistan from the children’s joint birthday party this April. Hasrat has been separated from his children for so long that his 1-year-old doesn’t recognize him and his 4-year-old asks him each time they talk where he is and why he cannot see him.
