'There is no help here': US puts just 100 passengers on Afghanistan evacuation planes that can take 600 as stranded Americans say they can't get to airport and Taliban becomes more violent
18 US Air Force C-17 cargo jets were used overnight to remove 2,000 people from Kabul
The planes each can carry around 600 people and one took 640 out of Kabul on Sunday night
But on Tuesday, one had just 300 people on board - it means the remaining 17 took 1,700, an average of 100 per flight
The UK, Italy, Germany and Australia are also sending planes away half-empty while thousands beg to be let in at the airport gates
No one can get through to the airport to board the flights because of the chaos in the streets outside
The only guarantee of safety is coming from the Taliban, who are already becoming more violent
There has been no word from Joe Biden since his statement on Monday claiming he did the right thing
There are thousands of people waiting to be saved by the West after its decision to leave the region
The White House is refusing to take responsibility for the shambolic effort or offer any more help
