Foreign Governments Evacuating Afghanistan
Newsy
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin tried to reassure the public that the U.S. is working to evacuate as many people as possible.
Officials at the Pentagon and State Department say they are ramping up evacuations out of the airport in Kabul. The Pentagon said 5,000 people have been evacuated so far and the priority remains getting U.S. citizens out, along with Afghans who helped the U.S. military. But officials did not elaborate on how people could get to the airport with reports of some having a difficult time getting through roads controlled by the Taliban.More Related News
