The sudden Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 and the subsequent counter-offensive has left American citizens stranded in both Israel and Gaza.
While the Biden administration is arranging charter flights to help Americans leave Israel due to the security crisis, there is no such arrangement for those in Gaza.
According to a New York Times report, American citizens in Gaza are asked to fill out forms and wait, but the uncertainty of when they can return home has left them scared and worried about the ongoing conflict.
An estimated 500 to 600 Americans live in Gaza, NYT said quoting US officials.
