At Kabul airport, the situation is increasingly out of control.
As seen in a series of videos posted on Twitter, thousands of people are trying to flee Afghanistan, which is now in the hands of the Taliban.
Whatever it takes. Some of them, taken by desperation, tried to leave the country by clinging to a departing plane, hiding on the wings or on the tires.
In one video, people are seen plunging into the void from an aircraft immediately after take-off. This morning the Kabul airport was stormed in an attempt by Afghan civilians to break through and get on a plane as soon as possible.
