The last of the US planes flew out of Afghanistan on Monday, marking the end of a 20-year war, the Associated Press reported. More than 100,000 American citizens and partners and Afghan citizens were evacuated in the last two weeks as a result of the Taliban takeover.

Last week, two bombings at Kabul airport killed more than 100 Afghans and 13 US service members. The attacks, blamed on terrorist group ISIS-K, targeted US military members and Afghan citizens attempting to leave the country






Many Afghan citizens are fearful for their lives and of what the Taliban takeover could mean for their country. Refugees from Afghanistan have left everything behind and are in need of a safe place to live, as well as essentials such as food and water. Multiple organizations are accepting donations to help meet those needs as more Afghan citizens seek asylum in other countries.
