On the morning of Aug. 16, N. Hadi and his family headed toward Kabul’s airport but soon became trapped in the crush of people trying to flee Afghanistan as U.S. troops pulled out. But when Hadi and his son tried to gain entry, they were turned away, he said. After hours in the heat with no water left, he struggled to hold his son and protect him as Afghans shoved their way to the front and Taliban fighters beat people back.
Other Afghan families trying to resettle in the U.S. or other countries have struggled with the passport requirement.
