PHILADELPHIA - At least one planeload of Afghan refugees who were rescued from an increasingly chaotic U.S.-led evacuation effort in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan has landed at the Philadelphia International Airport, FOX 29 has learned.
About 200-300 evacuees are expected will arrive at the airport early Saturday morning for processing before they are taken to a secure facility in Camden, New Jersey, a source told FOX 29's Jeff Cole.
More planes are expected to land throughout the day, but the total is unknown at this time.RELATED HEADLINES:A spokesperson on Thursday said Philadelphia International Airport and Dulles International Airport in Virginia are the first two airports to welcome refugees.
