More than 80,000 at-risk Afghans were evacuated by the United States when the Taliban returned to power in Kabul, but roughly the same number have been left behind. With the world's attention turning to war in Europe, volunteer groups of U.S. veterans are working to get their Afghan partners out.
NBC News touted a report finding the United States has done a terrible job of evacuating Afghans who served the U.S. forces in Afghanistan and wanted to migrate. They tweeted this:
The United States has evacuated only about three percent of Afghans who worked for the U.S. government and applied for special visas, leaving behind an estimated 78,000, according to a new report.
