Abood Okal, Wafaa Abuzayda and 1-year-old Yousef — a Palestinian-American family from Medway, Massachusetts — are caught in the turmoil in the Middle East…
Abood Okal and Wafaa Abuzayda were visiting family with their 1-year-old son, Yousef, when Hamas launched a surprise attack in Israel. As Israel responded with retaliatory airstrikes, they could hear the bombings happening around them.
"What is particularly distressing is that Abood tells me that there were bombardments by the Israelis south of where they are in Rafah. If the United States is not going to get its citizens out of there, then it needs to at least demand of the Israelis that there be no bombardment in this area, especially in view of the fact that they are likely using US weapons to do this. No American should be ok with this.", the friend said.
The State Department announced that starting Friday, the U.S. government will arrange charter flights for U.S. citizens and their immediate family members who have been unable to book commercial flights out of Israel., the U.S. Embassy in Israel wrote,"The military conflict between Israel and Hamas is ongoing, making departure options for U.S. citizens complex. We are working on potential options for departure from Gaza for U.S. citizens.
