Emails and text messages reviewed by HuffPost reveal confusion among Biden administration staffers as they try to assist American citizens trapped in Gaza amid Israel's offensive. U.S. officials have asked private citizens to use their influence to improve the situation, as the government lacks key information on ongoing diplomatic negotiations and safe exit timings. The Okal family, who have been sheltering in Gaza, have made multiple unsuccessful attempts to leave through the Rafah crossing. The situation has raised concerns about the prioritization of military aid to Israel over the safety of American citizens.
