reporter: this is their home for the next two or three days, hastily assembled cots for beds, 40 people to a tent. women and children are inside the cavernous airplane hangar. men sleep in the tent city outside with a small area in between for families to meet. none are allowed to leave yet. these are the temporary living facilities. the capacity here at the moment is 5,000. they re hoping to get that up to 7,500. but there is a flight arriving here almost every hour and a half, and it s filling up fast. on our way out, we meet hasib kamal. he says he s a u.s. citizen from virginia and had flown to afghanistan to visit family and got married there last week. so i just, like, rushed, like everybody else. the only people that i could get in was my dad and my u.s. u.s. forces were shooting, taliban and afghan forces at the gate, so people were getting hurt left and right.
