The United States has said it has assisted 400 of its citizens, residents and their relatives to leave the war-battered Gaza Strip after the reopening of a crossing into Egypt, AFP reports.
“We have assisted more than 400 US citizens, lawful permanent residents and other eligible individuals to depart Gaza,” State Department spokesman Vedant Patel said, an update from a weekend figure of some 300 leaving.
It was unclear how many other Americans were still waiting to leave.
