Explosions erupt at the Kabul airport in Afghanistan

The Kabul airport in Afghanistan has become a war zone.

Last week, Afghan men and women clung to planes in order to escape the Taliban as they took over Afghanistan. But now the Taliban has made a chance for escape even deadlier.

And without your help, these scared Afghan families may not survive.

On Thursday, one suicide bomber set off an explosion outside one of the airport gates. At least 90 people have died, and many more were injured. Among the dead were several children. It’s rumored that there was a second suicide bomber that caused a smaller explosion as well.

Even though the Taliban appear to let Afghans with the correct paperwork fly out of the country, their actions say otherwise. They’ve been shooting their rifles into the air to scare people, and they’ve sprayed water cannons at people crowded outside the airport.

These families are still determined to try to leave, but if they’re unable, they’re going to need help while they’re homeless and helpless in their own country.
