Australia and New Zealand have evacuated a further 1,200 people from Afghanistan. 

Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced on Thursday that they were flown out of Kabul on six Australian flights and one New Zealand flight on Wednesday night in the biggest evacuation effort since the city fell to the Taliban.

It took the total number of people airlifted by the two nations to about 4,000.

Australia has joined the U.S. and Britain in warning citizens and visa holders not to travel to Kabul airport.
