A snapshot of a video footage shows Afghan members of the nomadic Kuchi tribe running toward helicopters to be airlifted to a safe location as a flash flood nearly overtakes their village.

The group consisted mostly of women and children. (U.S. Air Force imagery by Lt. Col. Christopher Prejean/Released)
