Seven people in the crowds near Kabul airport died amid the chaos of those fleeing the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, bringing the total killed in the last week to 20.
The MoD said in a statement on Sunday that "conditions on the ground remain extremely challenging but we are doing everything we can to manage the situation as safely and securely as possible".
Snip
On Saturday, Sky News watched as UK paratroopers began pulling people from the mayhem before medics checked vital signs of those left on the floor after a crush and then covered bodies in white sheets.
Sky Chief Correspondent Stuart Ramsay said he saw at least three bodies after a crush on the edge of the airport. A NATO official has now said that 20 have died in or around Kabul airport in the last seven days.

Were they Americans.
No idea.
“...as Taliban seeks clarity on foreign forces exit”
Sure hope the Taliban keep their word and put an end to this ‘airlift’ in 9 days - far too many terrorists leaving that hell hole right now.
(and no, Westerners are blocked off anyway)
But maybe that would hurt their feelings and make us look like a bully too much. How about instead we take another nap while people remain in grave danger and divert blame for the crisis.
This video is brought to you by Biden, Xi and the other Pelosi/Schumer Democrats!:

There is film at the link, the ones on the film don’t look American. There is some good film of the soldiers trying to save these people though.
This is going to get worse…
I would paint “Clarity” on a MOAB and give the Taliban what they seek.
If the Taliban close the airport how will those 6,000 American troops be resupplied and withdrawn? They recently mocked the WW II raising of the American flag on IWO Jima. Wonder if these power drunk Taliban have fantasies of replicating Bataan? Sure there are many Taliban who lost relatives and friends and want another crack at the Americans and actually believe eternal rewards await them if they die in battle against the “infidels”.
Don’t worry Dementia Joe will be addressing the American People this afternoon at 4pm and explain how everything is working fine...
(how dare you look at my lifetime of scandals/failures media...)
...."it's about this man!"
(Look! Squirrel Trump!)
Biden is a demented/corrupt POS
I bet he cannot stay awake for more than a few hours a day. It is the only to explain his bizarre apathy towards this situation.
I’m really surprised that some loose-cannon Isis or Al-qaeda fanatics have not started putting bombs into the crowds at the airports yet.
I’m also wondering how they’re going to get out, and don’t China isn’t getting involved, in order to help the Taliban capture the airport, with American soldiers as their new hostages.
This has a long way to play out.
My question also.
Nobody comforts the woman sitting with the dead woman, just video. We have that in common with them.
Sometimes I wish cellphones and the internet had never happened. I would miss it terribly but I wouldn’t miss the hell and cold indifference it has brought.
It has made so much of what we suffer today possible.
Resupply just like we did in Khe Sanh (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction). When properly supplied, send them out to get our citizens. Then they can be withdrawn.
