Afghanistan’s Foreign Ministry issued an announcement on Sunday, saying the airport is ‘fully operational again’ and has promised full communication with airlines. Many people have attempted to evacuate but have been unable to do so. In total, $3.3 million has been spent on flights that were ultimately canceled and for which the group has not yet received refunds, according to The Washington Post, which examined ‘financial records, emails, text messages, recordings of calls and interviews’.Īfghanistan’s capital Kabul has been a chaotic scene since the Taliban took over the city’s airport in mid-August. No Afghans have been evacuated on flights chartered by ‘Operation Flyaway,’ a charity campaign to rescue people in Afghanistan promoted through the Instagram meme page ‘Quentin Quarantino’, which has over 820,000 followers and is run by 26-year-old Tommy Marcus. Also, a company owned by a man under surveillance for fraud dealings received over $2 million. Nearly half the money went towards canceled flights.

The Washington Post published an investigation on Thursday detailing how an Instagram influencer raised nearly $7 million to evacuate people from Afghanistan during the Taliban’s takeover.
