Ever since the Taliban takeover of Kabul on August 15, desperate Afghans have been trying to flee the country.
Hundreds of Afghans thronged Kabul airport every day since the takeover in the hope of being evacuated.

The Taliban said they would prevent Afghan citizens from traveling to Kabul’s airport to board evacuation flights.
