Evacuation operations in Kabul will not be wrapping up in 36 hours. We will continue to evacuate as many people as we can until the end of the mission. #HKIA

This has been an absolute incredible effort to complete this mission, 90,000+ evacuated in a couple weeks is unprecedented. 5 more days to go and it's important to get every American out who wants to leave and as many of our allies there as possible.
