一名阿富汗孕妇乘坐C-17运输机的撤离航班中分娩,目前母女均安,已被送往相关医疗机构。
美国空中机动司令部(US Air Mobility Command)指出,该名孕妇在飞行过程分娩,并出现并发症,机长因此决定降低高度以增加机内的气压,稳定了母亲的状况,并挽救了她的性命。
该航班其后抵达位于德国的拉姆施泰因空军基地(Ramstein Air Base),该基地为阿富汗撤离班机的重要转运站。据《美国有线电视新闻网》(CNN)报道,位于中东国家卡塔尔的美军基地已超出负荷,导致21日的撤离航班延迟了8个多小时。
拉姆施泰因美军基地预计可以容纳5千人,该基地在22日晚紧急扩建,希望可以提高容纳人数到7500人。
I spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister @MevlutCavusoglu today about joint efforts to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation from Afghanistan. Turkey is an important NATO Ally and an invaluable partner in the region.
