A U.S. air base in Germany was preparing to house evacuees arriving from Afghanistan, Air Force officials said Friday.
Service members and volunteers set up cots and sorted through donations of items such as toilet paper, diapers and soccer balls for the impending arrival of evacuees, photos tweeted out by the base showed. "We put ourselves in their shoes -- if we had to escape some terrible force and we left all of our things behind, what would we need when we got to a safe place?" Air Force First Sgt. Andrew Wilder told Stars and Stripes, a military publication. Hundreds who fled Kabul after the Taliban takeover, including many Afghan families, were scheduled to arrive at the base from Qatar, Stars and Stripes reported.More Related News
