Thousands of Afghans are packed into U.S. bases without air conditioning, access to toilets or water. “Refugees in Qatar were not eating or drinking to avoid using the poor facilities,” a U.S. embassy memo detailed.

and at U.S. bases temporarily holding Afghans refugees are exacerbating the humanitarian crisis now facing the Biden administration as it works to process tens of thousands of people who fled or are trying to flee a Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Reports of overcrowding, feces, urine and rats have forced the American military to look for new ways to get as many people as possible on the move to their next destination, which for many won’t be in the U.S. yet. With a week to go until the withdrawal deadline agreed to with the Taliban, the military is clambering to properly equip domestic U.S.

A cable sent to the State Department by staff at the U.S. embassy in Kabul, reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, details scenes of chaos and peril outside the gates of Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport, withand criminal gangs surrounding it. For those who manage to get through the gates, more hardship awaits.

“Some staff told each other they would prefer to die with dignity at home rather than suffer the humiliation, danger and frustration of the existing system at the airport,” the cable, sent over the weekend, said, referring to Afghan staff employed by the embassy or other U.S. agencies.

Of course in Afghanistan they all have top of the range air conditioning systems and super duper toilets to poo upon. Other countries must up their game to appease these sand monkeys.

Reasonably sure the Kurds would have preferred this to their alternate fate.

First it was translators, interpreters now everyone who can get to kaabuul airport! Democrats importing voters!

Send all to Saudi and dubai palaces

Not making excuses, but if the worst part of the escape from the Taliban is a short stay in something less than a 3-star Marriott in Qatar, I'd say hug a Marine and call it a good day. BTW, I'm guessing nobody is fighting for those empty seats on the plane back to KBL.

I doubt these people are dwelling on the poor facilities as much as getting the hell out of Afghanistan. It’s only been a couple of days

So goes for a lot of Americans! Why isn’t this your story?

Conditions will improve. Anything is better than being in Afghanistan.

In Act Of Compassion And Generosity, Airbnb Will Provide Housing To 20,000 Afghan RefugeesAirbnb announced that it will provide temporary housing to 20,000 Afghan refugees worldwide. The resettlement will be conducted through Airbnb.org, an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating temporary stays for people in moments of crisis. Paid for by whom? Why would hosts want Afghan refugees staying at their properties? Their personal habits are on a par with farm animals. Do they have the same compassion and generosity for the homeless on skid row or any other US city? Asking for a friend Wow…wonder if HobbyLobby or ChickfilA will be so generous and Christian-like.
