Desperate crowds, empty flights and rage in Afghanistan at governments who failed to plan

The US and UK say evacuations are gathering pace, but there seems to be little sign of that in Kabul, where many Afghans are stuck outside the airport or behind checkpoints that seem impossible to pass.
Women for Women International's Marie Clarke offers her perspective on the evacuation of Afghans.

The evacuation options to get women’s rights activists out came largely from an informal network. "It is amazing that private individuals and concerned citizens of America are organizing themselves together to try and protect Afghan women, because of this vacuum of official, government-run mechanisms for those most at risk to have safe passage out of the country," said Clarke.
