RAMSTEIN-MIESENBACH, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 20: Children and adults while away time at a tent city of temporary accommodation built by the United States Air Force for evacuees from Afghanistan at Ramstein Air Base on September 20, 2021 in Ramstein-Miesenbach, Germany. Approximately 6,000 evacuees are currently at the base, with approximately another 3,000 at nearby U.S. Rhine Ordinance Barracks. Medical personnel administered a first round of vaccinations against Covid-19 to the evacuees over the last few days, which means no evacuees will be able to journey onward to the United States for at least two weeks until they get their second inoculation. So far approximately 34,000 Afghan evacuees have passed through Ramstein on their way to resettlement in the U.S. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)
