New details have emerged about some of the harrowing scenes faced by Afghans attempting to flee Kabul on the final Australian evacuation flights.
Majid, a father of three, told SBS News he tried to enter the airport for an evacuation on three different days, suffering lashes and exposure to tear gas.
More than 4,000 Australians and Afghans with visas were evacuated from Kabul as part of Australia's rescue efforts. One option suggested is to have Australians and visa holders cross into countries where commercial flights to Australia are still operating.
