In an attempt to find a place on an evacuation plane, fleeing the Taliban, Afghan queues are still lined in front of Hamid Karzai International Airport in Afghanistan.
In a sudden development, the Taliban helped British soldiers to control the crowds, on the British flights side of the airport.
And hoping to be included in the lifeline list that will get them out of Afghanistan, we find thousands of children, parents and grandparents, trying to fall asleep or pass out because of fatigue, while no food or drink in the middle of a cold crawl at night on their bodies.
Soldiers are trying to work slowly to review the legal papers of evacuees, but the conditions become more stringent and more people fail to examine eligibility.
However, even in these dreadful circumstances, many see it as better than they might expect outside the military ranks.
Among the expected crowds, an Afghan asylum seeker said: "The Taliban are hitting people with guns. You can verify how the Taliban outside are fighting with the people. "
For its part, the crowds are trying to identify soldiers and foreign missions to the States with which they are associated.
Afghans around the airport spend their days hoping that someone will see them get out of this hell and put them on a plane, but they often wait many days.
In their rush to arrive at the airport, family members were separated and leaflets on missing children were being distributed among the crowds.
People search their loved ones in panic, while only a few are expected to be able to board planes, and only some of them will go as full families.
