Long lines formed at a bank in Kabul as hundreds of Afghans tried to withdraw their money amid ongoing turbulence due to the Taliban takeover.

Footage from August 28 shows locals crowding the outside of the New Kabul Bank, unable to withdraw cash due to restrictions imposed by the financial institutions. Each customer is allowed a daily withdrawal of up to 20,000 AFN (roughly 200 USD).
