All foreign forces in Afghanistan are aiming to evacuate their citizens and embassy employees by 30 Aug, a Nato diplomat told news agency Reuters.

The latest statement comes as the US and its allies earlier said they were hurrying to evacuate as many people as possible before the Aug 31 deadline.

There are still about 1,500 US citizens in Afghanistan

The UK has said around 400 people were still in the country

Germany said it estimated 200 citizens remained in Kabul

It's not clear if any French citizens still remain but France has said they expect to complete their evacuation flights by Friday evening
