Following the US evacuation in Afghanistan, over two dozen school students in the Sacramento area remain in the Taliban-controlled country, according to the San Juan Unified School District.

“We can confirm that we currently have 29 students, from 19 families, in Afghanistan,” Raj Rai, director of communication for the school district, said in a statement on Tuesday, on behalf of Superintendent Kent Kern. “We stand ready to support these students and families in whatever way that we can.”

As of Tuesday, the total number of students in Afghanistan from San Juan Unified school district was estimated to be 32 , However, the district had since reported the evacuation of three students, he said. 

The US has airlifted more than 120,000 people out of Afghanistan since July, including approximately 5,500 Americans. President Joe Biden said Tuesday that roughly 100 to 200 Americans still remained in Afghanistan who have “some intention to leave,” many of whom are dual citizens, according to an NBC News report. 

According to the estimates from advocates and numbers revealed by the Biden administration, tens of thousands evacuees fled the country after the US military withdrew its support. Figures suggest that only around 8,500 of those who left in the last few months were Afghans. It was unclear whether the students from the Sacramento area were US citizens.

A spokesperson for the State Department said they “could not comment on specific cases, but officials were continuing to assist U.S. citizens and their families in Afghanistan.”

“The department is also continuing efforts to help lawful permanent residents, as well as many Afghans who “stood with us over the years” and are seeking to leave Afghanistan,” the spokesperson said.

On Monday, Afghanistan witnessed the last US flight from Kabul take off, marking the end of America’s longest war.
