Two dozen students and 16 parents from San Diego are stuck in Afghanistan as the US evacuation deadline rapidly approaches, according to the San Diego Union Tribune.
The students and parents are among thousands of Americans and Afghans still looking to escape as the Taliban continues its takeover of the country. A Taliban spokesperson said on Tuesday that the US had just eight more days to finish its evacuation before facing “consequences.”
The students had traveled to Afghanistan over the summer on special visas for US military service to visit family, according to the report. Tamara Otero, president of the Cajon Valley Union School board, told the Tribune that while the families all had plane tickets to fly out of Afghanistan, they weren’t able to get to the airport in Kabul.
“The biggest concern is that the Taliban closed the airport,” Otero told the newspaper. “We are so worried about our students that are stuck there. We’ll do the best we can to get them out.”
