At the same time, information comes from the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs that its staff has managed to help local employees and their families get to the airport in Kabul.

Swedish citizens in Kabul must also have managed to get into the airport, according to Foreign Minister Ann Linde.

"The situation remains very difficult at the airport.

In close cooperation with other countries, the intensive evacuation work continues ", Linde writes on Twitter.

It is unclear how many have entered the airport, as well as how the Foreign Ministry's staff have acted to help them.

Yesterday, SR Ekot reported that the 41 local employees with families were urged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to go to the airport, but that most turned around when it became clear that they were not allowed in.

Waited for three days

Tens of thousands of people have flocked to the airport for a chance to leave the country after the Taliban took power, but few manage to get in through the gates.

The only chance is to penetrate the crowd and show their passports to the Western soldiers guarding them, writes the BBC.

- The last three days I have tried to get in, says London resident Helmand Khan and shows his and the two sons' passports.

A Sky News reporter describes how people were crushed to death this morning when a crowd rushed through a narrow passage to the place where British soldiers decide which Afghans should be evacuated.

The chaos has led to planes leaving Kabul despite having vacancies on board.

Today, the US Embassy advised all US citizens not to go to the airport unless they have received special instructions from US authorities.

No Swedish squad effort

The United States has 6,000 troops on site to organize the evacuation.

Several other NATO countries have troops at the airport, and yesterday the Finnish government decided to send a force to Kabul.

However, there are no plans to send Swedish soldiers, according to the Armed Forces.

- We have aircraft that arrive in and on their way to airports near Kabul.

And the intention is to fly into Kabul and pick up people.

And the planes are military, so in that sense the military is there, but we are only there to handle the transport, says the communicator at the Armed Forces Henrik Lundqvist Rådmark to Svenska Dagbladet.
