The situation at Kabul airport is chaotic, with desperate citizens trying their best to leave Afghanistan due to the takeover of power by the Taliban.
In fact, as announced by the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom, seven people were trampled to death as they tried to enter the airport.
“Conditions on the ground remain extremely difficult, but we are doing everything we can to manage the situation as safely as possible,” the statement said.
The efforts of soldiers and doctors are shocking
The images that emerge from them are incredible British soldiers try to pull the wounded into chaos and take them to doctors, who in turn check to see if they are alive.
Those who did not survive are covered with white sheets.

USA: Air carriers’ request for evacuation of citizens is being considered
The US government informed the country’s airlines that they may be ordered to help transport people who were rushed away from Afghanistan, said two officials in the Reuters news agency.
An official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said an “order alert” had been sent to the companies on Friday informing them that aircraft and their crews could be used, but added that no final decision had been made.
The plan was first revealed by The Wall Street Journal.
According to a US government official, civilian aircraft will not be ordered to enter Afghan airspace. Instead, they will probably pick up people who have been flown to US air bases in various locations, such as the Middle East or Germany.
