Trapped in Gaza: Dual Citizens and American Families Struggle for Escape

Dual citizens and foreign nationals in Gaza are trapped as the Rafah border crossing remains closed, preventing their escape from the war zone. Despite discussions between world leaders, no country has successfully evacuated its citizens or dual nationals from the besieged Palestinian enclave. Israel has sealed all its crossing points with Gaza, intensifying airstrikes and expanding ground operations in response to attacks by Hamas. The situation has left residents like Asia Mathkour and her family feeling alone and terrified, with no safe way out. Communication networks have also been severely impacted, making it difficult for families to stay in touch.
