A planeload of 175 fleeing Afghans has landed safely in Mexico, in one of the last flights after departing Karbul

The plane departed Karbul on the day U.S. forces completed a withdrawal that left Taliban Islamist militants in control of Afghanistan.

It was the fourth group of Afghan civilians granted entry by Mexico on humanitarian grounds.

Among those fleeing include media workers

A statement from the foreign ministry confirmed that the latest group to arrive included independent journalists and activists accompanied by their families – including 75 children.

Three previous flights from Afghanistan to Mexico over the past week included Afghan media workers from prominent U.S.-based newspapers, including New York Times journalists.

The foreign ministry of Mexico also confirmed that more civilians are expected to arrive in the country “within the coming days”

The ministry did not clarify how many evacuees are on the additional evacuation flights

The efforts to safely evacuate Afghan journalists to Mexico has also been backed and supported by social media giant, Facebook which acknowledged its support for the airlift in a brief statement to a media outlet.
