LONDON (Reuters) – Britain has managed to remove around 1,000 people a day from Afghanistan after the Taliban seized control of the country, interior minister Priti Patel said on Wednesday.
“We have been getting out approximately 1,000 people, so far, a day,” she told BBC TV.
“We’re still bringing out British nationals… and those Afghan nationals who are part of our locally employed scheme.”
