As the United States President Joe Biden rightly pointed out, “gut-wrenching” pictures have emerged lately from Afghanistan where people are lining up at the Kabul airport to escape the Taliban rule.
The US and other countries including India evacuated diplomats and civilians from Kabul. Several military flights have taken off from the airport so far. Afghan citizens were seen packed inside a US Air Force C-17 Globemaster III, as they were being transported from Hamid Karzai International Airport.
