The uncertainty continues for New Zealanders and our allies and interpreters in Afghanistan.

A first group of New Zealanders has been pulled out of the country by an Australian Air Force plane, and a second group is due to be evacuated soon.

But there is ongoing unrest at Kabul Airport, the only way in and out of the country.
