State Dept. Spox Ned Price Dismisses Americans Blocked from Kabul Airport as a ‘Small Handful’

‘We have received only a small handful of reports’

EXCERPT:

PRICE: “Now, of course, we’re seeing some of the same reports when it comes to American citizens. We have a relatively large cadre of consular officers on the ground in Kabul right now, they are in regular, in constant contact with American citizens. I can tell you that they have received, as of a couple hours ago, a small handful of reports from American citizens who weren’t able to reach the airport, for whatever reason. What we do know is that 6,000 people are now at the airport. 6,000 people have been able to make it, have made it through the processing, and as of a couple hours ago, we have received only a small handful of reports otherwise from American citizens."
