New Delhi, Sep 2 (TIWN) The US is exploring ways to evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies looking to leave the war-torn nation including via land routes, American officials said, reasserting a commitment to help eligible people who were not airlifted out.
US Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland said President Joe Biden’s administration is engaged in “ongoing intensive diplomatic work” to help American citizens and Afghan allies wishing to leave Afghanistan following the Taliban’s takeover of the country, Al Jazeera reported. “We are looking at all possible options – air routes, land routes to continue to find ways for them to help evacuate and to support them in that,” she said during a news briefing on Wednesday.
