Approximately 111K People Evacuated From Afghanistan, Says Pentagon

Nearly 111,000 people have been evacuated from Afghanistan since the start of evacuation operations on August 14?, the Pentagon said on Friday. The Taliban took control of Afghanistan on August 15. Their sudden victory, which comes as the US withdraws from the country following a 20-year-war, has sparked chaos at Kabul’s airport, from where America and allied nations are trying to safely evacuate thousands of citizens and allies.
