Kabul, Aug 20 (SocialNews.XYZ) Afghan families do not know the whereabouts of their sons since earlier this week after they went to the Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul in an attempt to leave the country following the Taliban takeover.

"According to the news, forty people were killed and wounded since Monday, exact figures remain unknown," said Humayoun, a relative of one missing person named Faisal.
"The situation remains difficult, they were shooting with bullets at the people," said Kabul resident Amir Mohammad.
