News from Kabul Luftbrücke

Here you will find the latest news about the work of Kabul Luftbrücke and our efforts to create a federal reception programme. For security reasons, we cannot report on the evacuation measures until they have been completed.

  • More than 1000 people evacuated

    2-year-old Afat was our 1000th evacuee on 6 December 2021. She, her family and other Afghans were able to leave Kabul by land. We are very happy for the evacuees and continue to work without interruption to enable as many people in need of protection as possible to leave.

  • Kabul Luftbrücke Charter Flight

    This morning we evacuated 148 people from Afghanistan on a donor-funded charter flight, including two of the Afghan air traffic controllers who had previously worked for the Bundeswehr.

  • Long time, no see?

    We continue to evacuate people: In recent weeks, we have been able to expand different ways of evacuating people by air and land, and your donations have already helped 423 people to flee.

Who are the people we are evacuating from Afghanistan?

The people come from different sectors of society: judges, intellectuals, climate activists, athletes, LGBTIQ people, women’s rights activists and many more. Countless others are still on our lists and are still stuck in Afghanistan.
