I think the estimates are well over a 1000. It's interesting our govt was still handing out billions in contracts to contractors there during Trump and even under Biden until April of this year. We had about 6100 US citizens working there listed of June this year. My friend's son works for a contractor there and got stuck in one of the southern providences when the Taliban overran it. His last call home 2 days ago he said "they hadn't heard shiate from the State Dept."
