Over 300 Americans Evacuated From Gaza: White House

The evacuation, carried out in recent days, was the result of "pretty intensive negotiations with all sides relevant to this conflict," White House deputy national security advisor Jonathan Finer told CBS News.

More than 300 Americans, US residents and their families have been evacuated from the Gaza Strip as Israel's fight against Hamas rages, the White House said on Sunday.

The evacuation, carried out in recent days, was the result of "pretty intensive negotiations with all sides relevant to this conflict," White House deputy national security advisor Jonathan Finer told CBS News.

Despite these efforts, the United States believes there are still "a number" of Americans inside Gaza, he added.
