German carrier Lufthansa has confirmed that in one week of rescue flights, it has transported over 1,500 refugees from Afghanistan to Germany via flights to Tashkent. 

Tashkent has been the center for Lufthansa operating such flights, with the airline setting up a support team for the refugees that have been rescued. 

In a statement, the carrier said: "Upon arrival in Frankfurt, a Lufthansa support team assists the new arrivals with food, drinks, and clothing, and provides initial medical and psychological care. For the many children now landing in Frankfurt, a play and painting corner have been set up and toys donated."
