More than 400 Americans and their family members have been able to evacuate Gaza over the past week, since Egypt’s Rafah crossing was opened to civilians for the first time since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war.

“We have assisted more than 400 US citizens, lawful permanent residents, and other eligible individuals to depart Gaza,” State Department principal deputy spokesperson Vedant Patel says in a statement.
