Thousands of desperate Afghans were trying to flee the country via Kabul airport, where a barbed wire separated them from the American and British soldiers. Desperate Afghan women were seen crying for help from the soldiers to take their children to safety.
The soldiers who protected Afghans at the airport from the Taliban described how traumatized they were by the ordeal. The video that has gone viral on social media shows babies being lifted and transferred across barbed wires by the crowd.
The video that appears to have been filmed at the Kabul airport depicts the anarchy prevailing in the Taliban-controlled country and has been shared on social media widely.
"FEAR of Taliban is so much that Desperate women threw Babies & Little Girls OVER RAZOR WIRE at airport compound asking British soldiers to take them," a user on Twitter wrote hashtagging #Afghanistan #Talibans #Taliban #SaveAfghanWomen alongside the video.
"My heart aches when I think about the girls of #Afganisthan. Their future, Dreams, and whatnot. I have so many goals and every other girl of my age would have too. But what abt the ones who r not allowed to fulfill their dreams and conquer to achieve their goals?" a Twitter user commented on the horrifying video.

"It was terrible, women were throwing their babies over the razor wire, asking the soldiers to take them, some got caught in the wire," a senior British army official told the media.
