VIDEO SHOWS AFGHAN BABY PASSED ACROSS AIRPORT CROWD AMID DESPERATE BID TO GET
CHILDREN OUT OF COUNTRY

Parents in Afghanistan are doing whatever it takes to save their children from
life under Taliban rule.

Video footage taken at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul shows a baby
being passed along the heaving crowd as hoards of people clamour for a passage
out of the country.

It was apparently a parent’s desperate attempt to get their child to the front
of the queue and to safety – even if it meant being separated from them.



The recording has been widely shared on social media after it was uploaded to
Instagram by British journalist Rustam Wahab.

In a caption to the clip, which was viewed more than 250,000 times in 15 hours,
he wrote: “People are so desperate to escape the T-ban that they’re passing
babies and kids forward to the gate at Kabul airport.”




A separate video showed a small girl being handed over a wall to Western
soldiers, as citizens continue to swarm the airport in the hope of securing a
way out of the Taliban-controlled capital.

Responding to the latter footage, British Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said the
UK was unable to evacuate unaccompanied children from the country.

He said the child was passed over the wall as her family was being taken out.

"We can’t just take a minor on their own," Wallace told Sky News when asked
about the clip. "You will find as you see in the footage I think you’re showing
now, the child was taken - that will be because the family will be taken as
well."



"It will be the challenge trying to make it through that crowd," Wallace said.
"We are finding other ways of dealing with that but that is what’s happening."



Wallace said British soldiers at the airport were facing a difficult situation
given the desperation of some Afghans to leave.

"It is very very difficult for those soldiers as you’ve seen in your own
footage, dealing with some desperate, desperate people, many of whom are just
wanting to leave the country," he said.




Chaotic scenes of Afghans flooding the airport have continued to shake the world
– serving as a painful illustration of people’s despair and terror at the new
Taliban regime.

Several people clung to the side of a US military plane on Monday, with at least
five people losing their lives amid the tumult, according to eyewitnesses.

US troops fired warning shots to stop people getting on flights taking out
diplomats and embassy employees, and two gunmen were also shot at the airport,
American officials told Reuters.



The flights were later halted because of the disorder, with Germany saying it
had to divert its first of three planned evacuation flights to the Uzbek capital
Tashkent because it could not land due to the throngs of people on the tarmac.

Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby said US forces were working with Turkish and
other international troops to clear Kabul airport to allow evacuation flights to
resume. He said several hundred people had been flown out so far.



Videos and photos posted on social media showed hundreds of civilians invading
the airport’s single runway, jostling to climb stairs onto overhead gangways and
sitting on the top of passenger jets in the hope of getting a flight out.



"This is our airport but we are seeing diplomats being evacuated while we wait
in complete uncertainty," Rakhshanda Jilali, an Afghan human rights activist who
was trying to get to Pakistan, told Reuters in a message from the airport.

A US State Department spokesperson said all embassy personnel, including
Ambassador Ross Wilson, had been transferred to the airport to await evacuation.



One video showed a military helicopter flying low to pave a path for a plane
trying to take off through crowds of people.



Local news agency Asvaka reported that some people who had clung to the outside
of a plane plunged to their deaths after it took off.

One witness said he had seen five bodies piled up in a vehicle. A video posted
on social media showed three bodies on the ground near what appeared to be an
airport side entrance. Tolo News reported at least 10 people had died at the
airport
