Six Afghans were killed in a stampede outside Kabul airport

Desk report: Seven Afghans have been killed in a stampede outside Kabul airport. A spokesman for the UK Ministry of Defense said in a statement: “The situation in the Kabul airport area is dire. We are trying to keep it as safe and secure as possible. ”About 4,500 U.S. troops are in charge of temporary security at Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport. They are accompanied by 900 British troops. Many Afghans have sought to flee the country since taking control of Kabul on Sunday (August 15th). That is why the crowd of Afghans at Kabul Hamid Karzai International Airport is increasing day by day. Most of them are Afghans and their families who have served as allies of the US-led military in two decades of war. Meanwhile, the Taliban have set up checkpoints around the city around Kabul airport. They are not allowing anyone to go to the airport without travel documents.
