At least one of the children was taken to a medical treatment facility by U.S. Marines and has been reunited with family.
A crush of desperate Afghans outside the Kabul airport passed babies and small children above their heads so Western soldiers could raise them over a wall topped with razor wire and give them refuge from the Taliban, photos and video showed. One video showed a U.S. soldier with the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit leaning precariously over the razor wire to grab a crying baby, then passing the child to another soldier. The baby “was taken to a medical treatment facility on site and cared for by medical professionals,” U.S. Marines spokesperson Maj. Jim Stenger told HuffPost.More Related News
