10,000 people are reportedly waiting to evacuate Kabul but US flights haven’t departed in over 8 hours

Some 10,000 people are waiting for flights out Afghanistan at Kabul airport, but flights haven't departed for hours, CNN correspondent Clarissa Ward reported.

Ward said on Twitter that soldiers told her 10,000 people had been processed for evacuation, but Qatar has hit its capacity for Afghan refugees, and new flights haven't taken off.

As of 11:30 EST, Ward said, per CNN correspondent Kaitlan Collins, that no flights had left Kabul's Hamid Karzai International Airport for at least eight hours.
