There are a little more than 1,200 Americans, legal permanent residents and family members still in Gaza and at least six US citizens have been killed since the Oct. 7 rampage into Israel by Hamas, the US State Department said on Monday.
State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told a briefing that around 800 Americans, legal permanent residents and family members had left Gaza via the Rafah crossing to Egypt and "there are a little over 1,200 left."
Six Americans have died since Hamas' Oct. 7 attack, he said, comprised of five Israeli troops - four killed in Gaza and one killed in northern Israel - and a national police border officer.
