city employee who has been trapped in Gaza for weeks has been safely evacuated and is in Egypt Friday, escaping the war and violence that has gripped the area since October.
Bass said in a statement released Thursday that her office has been working to get Biary to safety and she has been in regular contact with Biary's son."I am relieved to announce today that the employee is now safe in a neighboring country and out of the war zone. I personally want to thank Tom Perez and the Biden administration, Senator Alex Padilla, and Congresswoman Julia Brownley for working with us to arrive at today's result.
Biary's son, Khalid Biary, told the Ventura County Star about his father's situation last week. Sohail Biary, 53, traveled to Gaza City, his hometown, before war broke out in the area. He works as a district supervisor for the city's General Services Department and has four children, the Star reported.
