Passports belonging to Afghans trying to leave their country were among the sensitive items destroyed by staff evacuating the US Embassy in Kabul as the country fell to the Taliban over the weekend.

Rep. Andy Kim, a Democrat from New Jersey, shared this news in an email he's been sending out to people looking for help getting out of Afghanistan, according to CNN and ABC News reported.

"Visa and passport appointments at the Embassy have been canceled, and passports that were in the Embassy's possession have been destroyed. Currently, it is not possible to provide any further visa services in Afghanistan," he wrote.

"The Department of State advises all people waiting for processing to find shelter and wait for further instructions. They should not go to the airport until they are called to do so and should follow the instructions carefully."

The problem is, some are getting the calls and flights are booked but cannot get passed the Taliban check points. Clarissa Ward was just interviewing them.
