Seven people have died following chaotic scenes at Kabul airport yesterday. Some fell from a departing US military transport plane after Afghans rushed onto the tarmac amid efforts by many to flee the Taliban.
The scenes were truly heartbreaking, with this video and subsequent footage leaving many people floored.
But not everyone was as sympathetic to their plight, with Dominic Raab spotted sunning himself on a beach in Crete as Kabul fell to the Taliban.
Dareen Grimes also felt the need to chirp up, tweeting: “Say what you want about Donald Trump, but his foreign policy never caused anything quite this disastrous. Horrific scenes and reports of civilians plunging to their deaths whilst clinging onto US military planes.”
Needless to say, his comments were quickly dismantled by a number of Twitter users.
