Gazans Coming to a Neighborhood Near You
The State Department is arranging the evacuation of about 150 Americans and their non-American family members who have been trapped in Gaza during Israel’s military operations against Hamas militants there.
So far, the department has evacuated 27 people, 16 Americans and 11 non-American family members, from Gaza since the fighting began on Dec. 27. They were taken by convoy to Amman, Jordan on Jan. 2.
Who are these families?
I got my answer at CAIR’s website:
State Department officials tell CAIR that some of the almost 150 potential evacuees do not have family members in the United States. A number of those seeking evacuation are non-citizen parents of young American-born children. CAIR is calling on individuals and relief groups to offer support.
