U.S. Pauses Evacuations From Kabul, No Flights In Last 8 Hours From Afghanistan

The United States has paused evacuations from Kabul, Afghanistan, over concerns that its evacuation base in Qatar is becoming severely overcrowded and is threatening to become a “humanitarian crisis.”

CNN’s Clarissa Ward told the network Friday morning that no flights have left Kabul airport in more than eight hours, leaving her questioning whether the United States can achieve its goal of evacuating all 10,000 to 15,000 Americans within.
