Canadian military evacuates another 106 Afghans as situation in Kabul worsens

Ottawa says the latest Canadian flight out of Kabul carried 106 Afghans to be resettled in Canada.

There have been numerous reports of shootings and stampedes with crowds gathering outside the gates of the airport. 

Justin Trudeau said it will be, quote, “almost impossible” to rescue everyone eligible for resettlement, however the government will continue to fly Afghans out of the country.
