and their families have been evacuated from the Gaza Strip as Israel's fight against Hamas rages, the White House said on Sunday.
"Over the last several days, through pretty intensive negotiations with all sides relevant to this conflict, we have been able to get out more than 300 Americans, lawful permanent residents and their family members," White House deputy national security advisor Jonathan Finer told CBS News.
He said Washington believes there are still "a number" of Americans remaining in the beseiged Palestinian territory.
