A Russian media correspondent, Murad Gazdiev, arrived at Kabul airport this week to report on the ground and was shocked by the deteriorating conditions and continued spiraling crisis. "We've just arrived at Kabul airport. American troops call what is happening here 'World War Z,' referring to the zombie movie starring Brad Pitt. It is clear why," he narrated. 

"The situation is horrendous. The entire airport is littered with bullet casings and flash-bang grenades," he continued. "Everything, absolutely everything is covered in barbed wire. The entire runway is lined with barbed wire." And there are tragic scenes of desperate Afghan civilians standing outside the airport walls in knee-deep sewage.

NOW - Afghans stand knee-deep in sewage outside #Kabul airport, waving their papers and begging to be let in as the Taliban now control all routes to the main gates.pic.twitter.com/ZH1NEu8r2B
