The difficult situation on the ground has created obstacles for an evacuation mission being led by German forces in Kabul.
Officials admitted on 17-08-2021 that a German military plane left Kabul carrying just seven evacuees while hundreds waited on the ground because allies responsible for security at the airport could not secure their access to the transport.
