It is not yet clear how many more of the
hundreds of Americans stuck in Gaza will be able
to leave in the coming days, CBS News reports.
545 individuals are expected
to be evacuated at this time.
At least 81 of those people will be transported
in ambulances for medical treatment.
They started letting foreigners out
today but it's not Americans
because I guess we're not as
important as we thought, Utah resident Susan Beseiso, to CBS News.
The American Embassy and the
State Department haven't called
us since the last time we went to
the border and got bombed four times.
They haven't been communicating with
us or doing anything to get us out, Utah resident Susan Beseiso, to CBS News.
It's like they're holding us hostages
— not Hamas holding us hostages
— it's the IDF soldiers, Egypt and
America. They're using us as
a human shield in a way, Utah resident Susan Beseiso, to CBS News
