Afghanistan collapse: US has processed almost 5,000 for evacuation from Kabul
Fox News
The U.S. military has evacuated nearly 5,000 people from Kabul in the last several days, including about 2,000 in the last 24 hours, the State Department said on Wednesday as the U.S. continues to try and remove American citizens and Afghan allies while the Taliban secures its grip on the country.
Sherman said that officials had communicated directly with all U.S. citizens who are enrolled with the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, and that approximately 800 Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders are being invited to board flights. Sherman said that the situation on the ground was "enormously challenging and fluid" and said that the department was engaged in an "all hands on deck effort."More Related News
