If you know of someone currently trying to leave the country, it is very helpful to have a Visa from one of several countries currently running relief flights.  The best resource we've found so far is Leaving Afghanistan, AlliedAirlift21 & visasforafghans.net – so we suggest going through these sites first.

This google doc also contains lots of useful information and looks to still be updating: Immigration Relief for Afghans.
