29 Sacramento students stuck in Afghanistan

According to the San Juan Unified School District, more than two dozen school kids from the Sacramento region remain in Afghanistan after the US evacuation concluded earlier this week. We can affirm that we presently have 29 pupils, from 19 families, in Afghanistan, Raj Rai, the school district's director of media, stated on behalf of Superintendent Kent Kern on Tuesday. We are ready to assist these youngsters and their families in any way we can. The overall number of San Juan Unified students remained in Afghanistan was estimated to be 32 earlier Tuesday, but the district has since learned that three students have been evacuated, he added. In the United States, the Sacramento area has one of the largest numbers of Afghan immigrants. On Monday (3:29 p.m. ET), the last American aeroplane out of Kabul took off a minute past midnight local time, bringing an end to America's longest conflict and ushering in a new and unpredictable chapter for Afghanistan. Since July, the United States has assisted in the airlift of about 120,000 Afghans, including over 5,500 Americans. President Joe Biden said on Tuesday that there are still between 100 to 200 Americans in Afghanistan with some intention of leaving, many of whom are dual citizens. According to information supplied by the Biden administration and estimates from advocates, while tens of thousands of refugees made it out as the US military departed, just roughly 8,500 of those who fled in recent months were Afghans. It was unclear whether the Sacramento students were U.S. citizens. According to a State Department representative, they are unable to comment on specific situations, but officials in Afghanistan continue to support US nationals and their families. The office of Rep. Ami Bera is in close touch with the San Juan Unified School District and has forwarded the information to the Department of Defense and the State Department.
