The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) won’t allow a charter flight carrying U.S. citizens and other evacuees from Afghanistan to land in the United States, one of the flight’s organizers says.

Bryan Stern, who founded Project Dynamo, said that 117 people, including 59 children, are stuck at an airport in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, waiting to fly back to the United States. Project Dynamo is an organization that works to evacuate people from Afghanistan.
