The US has managed to evacuate 74 dual US citizens out of Gaza, US President Joe Biden said, speaking at the White House on Thursday.
The US says it has around 400 American citizens, along with their families, totalling around 1,000 people stuck in Gaza.
It is estimated that around 100 US citizens live in the besieged enclave, and the majority of the 400 were visiting the Strip when the war broke out after the 7 October attack on Israel took place.
Evacuees started crossing into Egypt on Wednesday.
