The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) announced that more than 18,000 people have been evacuated from Kabul since the Taliban terrorist group took over Afghanistan’s capital five days ago.

NATO’s latest development comes as the White House updated its evacuation tally on Aug. 19, saying the U.S. has evacuated about 3,000 more people from Kabul’s airport in the last 24 hours, bringing the total tally of those evacuated by the U.S. to about 14,000 since the operation started at the end of July.
