During the previous day, six C-17 military transports and 32 charter planes left Kabul, carrying about 3,800 people, Taylor said. C-17s are shuttling evacuees between Qatar and Germany, to free up space at intermediate locations for evacuees to land, he said. Three flights landed at Dulles in the past day and Afghans will be processed at Fort Bliss, Taylor said.
About 22,000 people have been evacuated since July and 17,000 since Aug. 14, including 2,500 U.S. citizens, Taylor said.
