The road to Kabul airport remains impractical for many seeking to board Australian government evacuation flights. Videos shot on Airport Road in Kabul and provided to The Guardian show chaotic scenes and gunfire. Australia has evacuated a total of 162 people from Afghanistan so far via flights operated by the Australian or British governments. However, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australian forces could not leave the airfield to escort Australians despite the Taliban’s promise of “safe passage” for those seeking to flee.
