Veterans help Americans leaving Gaza: ‘Easier time getting people out of Afghanistan’
Fox News
Special operations veteran says getting Americans out of Gaza has been more challenging than many civilian rescue missions, including the Afghanistan evacuation.
The D.C.-based veteran group has been working to help Americans leave the Middle East, including a Massachusetts family that was able to leave Gaza on Thursday. Hannah Ray Lambert is an associate producer/writer with Fox News Digital Originals.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week told a Senate committee that around 1,000 Americans and their family members remained trapped in Gaza and were requesting to leave as the Israel-Hamas war rages on. The State Department confirmed a total of 79 U.S. citizens and family members had left Gaza through the Rafah crossing in Egypt on Wednesday and Thursday.
