The United States is aware of reports that a group of American medical workers at the European hospital in Khan Younis are trapped in Gaza, according to sources.
The State Department Deputy Spokesperson, Vedant Patel, addressed the situation at a press briefing, highlighting the complexity and seriousness of the issue. Patel mentioned that the US does not control the border crossing in question and is actively collaborating with the governments of Israel and Egypt to address the matter.
Patel stressed the importance of keeping the Rafah crossing open to allow foreign nationals, including the American medical workers, to safely exit Gaza. The safety and security of US citizens are paramount, and efforts are being made to ensure their well-being amidst the challenging circumstances.
