Videos from Kabul airport on Saturday showed scores of injuries and adults passed out as Afghans clamored to be evacuated from Afghanistan.
The video clips, which are believed to have been recorded sometime Saturday morning, suggest that almost a week after the Taliban seized control of Kabul, conditions near the airport are not improving and may be worsening.
The videos showed a soldier urging a man sprawled out on the ground to “calm down” as she tried to give the man liquid to drink.
The recordings also show people pouring water onto the head of a screaming child and soldiers using a hose to cool people at the gate. Soldiers are seen hoisting people over a barrier. A Sky News journalist at the scene reported that near the front of the crowd, people were being “crushed.”
The grim scenes are the latest to emerge in a week that has been filled with desperate moments. On Monday, a crowd of Afghans surged onto the tarmac at the airport and tried to climb onto aircrafts as they departed. Some were killed.
And in another jarring scene, a baby was passed over a concrete wall topped with razor wire to a Marine. The baby was eventually reunited with his family.
