Finnish troops arrived in Kabul on Saturday to support the Foreign Ministry’s aid team at Kabul airport as the situation worsens. Helsingin sanomat newspaper.
Foreign minister Pekka Haavisto (Green) said that the evacuees are current and former locally employed personnel of the Finnish mission.
"They come with their families. The youngest evacuees are just a few weeks old," Haavisto said on Sunday night and added that about half of Finnish citizens or permanent residents of Afghanistan have been secured.
The Ministry for Foreign Affairs emphasized that the chaotic situation at the airport is still the biggest challenge for Finland and other evacuation countries.
"Sometimes people at the airport have been trampled to death. In these cases, we cannot, in good faith, invite people to come to the airport," Haavisto said.
Charming commuters
Some customers who take advantage of the Helsinki Region Transport campaign, which offers half-price season tickets, are charged at full price, reports Swedish daily Hufvudstadsbladet.
"On the first day of the campaign, users bought 21,800 season tickets, of which 11,600 were in-app purchases for the first time." said an HSL spokesman Johannes Laitila a campaign to increase passenger numbers during the pandemic.
He said customers using an earlier version of the HSL app have been charged an overcharge.
"We urge anyone who is incorrectly charged to complete the compensation form on the HSL website," Laitila said.
However, the discount is only available to HSL users because travel cards are not equipped to adjust temporary prices, he added.
