The US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III safely evacuated 640 in total, comprising women and children, from Kabul to Qatar. They all seem to be having no luggage, even women and children, hinting that they had already left all of their stuff behind before leaving the Taliban.

Numerous U.s. Air Force planes failed to take off from Kabul airport yesterday after it had been overrun by frightened Afghans seeking a way out, only one day after the Taliban gained control of the city. Visuals had been witnessed two Apache attack helicopters flying low over the tarmac to control the crowd and clean the runway for the C-17's take-off run.

Meanwhile, another video of hundreds of Afghans squeezing into an aircraft to flee the nation amid the Taliban's return surfaced on Monday morning, becoming the latest defining picture of despair in the war-torn country. Since the Taliban took control of the presidential palace Arg in Kabul, the Internet has been swamped with heartbreaking images and videos revealing the dismal state of Afghans who are yearning to flee the war-torn country.
