 US airlifts more than 19K in 24 hours as desperate Afghans cause a STAMPEDE at the airport amid fears of an ISIS-K attack

  • Desperate Afghans waded through sewage at Kabul airport today in a last-ditch effort to escape Taliban rule 

  • Evacuees said they had been attacked by the Taliban and prevented from getting to Kabul airport 

  • The reports emerged less than 24 hours after President Biden said the Taliban needed to let people leave  

  • Fears are growing that crowds could try to storm the airport or that opportunistic terrorists will launch an attack – fears that will only grow as troop numbers dwindle

  • Those not already at airport now have little chance of escape, as Taliban stop all Afghan citizens reaching it

  • Members of the GOP said on Tuesday night that Biden has ‘blood on his hands’ because of who is left behind 

  • Taliban has warned President Biden that there will be no extension to the August 31 evacuation deadline

  • US evacuated 19,000 people from Kabul, across 48 different flights, over the last 24 hours, White House says 

  • Two Congressmen who travelled to Kabul to witness the chaos say: ‘We won’t get everyone out on time’

  • Pentagon commanders have also warned of Islamic State-offshoot called ISIS-K who are targeting planes

  • Afghanistan’s former interior minister claims he Taliban are killing innocent children in power consolidation

Thousands converged on Kabul airport on Wednesday in a desperate bid to leave Afghanistan amid reports the Taliban are stopping westerners getting in, less than 24 hours after President Joe Biden said he would only pull troops by August 31 if the insurgents allow safe passage.

The U.S. has ramped up its airlifts and has evacuated 19,000 people in the last 24 hours and has already started pulling out military forces with just six days until the deadline, which Biden has promised to stick to.

But the Taliban has ignored the president’s threats and is beating up people trying to leave, according to reports, and both Democratic and Republican lawmakers have said there isn’t enough time to get everyone out.
