Desperation increased on Wednesday among the thousands of
Afghans ready to do anything to flee the new Taliban regime, after US President
Joe Biden confirmed that evacuations from the Kabul airport will end next week.
Thousands of Afghans have been crowding for days at the
gates of the airport, guarded by more than 6,000 US soldiers, hoping to board
one of the flights chartered by Western countries.
Despite a particularly chaotic situation, 88,000 people have
already been evacuated by planes from the United States or its allies since
August 14, the day before the Taliban entered Kabul and returned to power, the
White House said.
