[…] Charlotte Bellis who is based in Kabul was this week granted an emergency spot to arrive in New Zealand in March to give birth to her first daughter, with her Belgian partner to follow.

Their applications were initially rejected, however, despite being in Afghanistan and having poor access to maternity care.

After several days of global media coverage the application was approved, albeit under a new category.

Bellis stayed up till 3am in the morning to watch Ardern’s announcement and said her partner set an alarm to watch, despite being away.

“It’s been a fight for so many to get to this day and I’m just so relieved Kiwis everywhere are coming home,” she told the Herald.
