Nine Americans of Palestinian descent have filed a lawsuit against the US government, accusing it of failing to evacuate them or rescue their relatives from the Gaza war zone. The conflict in the region has caused numerous casualties and a humanitarian catastrophe.
The plaintiffs claim that the State Department discriminated against Americans of Palestinian descent by failing to provide them with the same rapid evacuation as is usually done for other citizens in similar situations. They accuse the government of insufficient efforts to rescue them, despite the alarming situation in Gaza, where tens of thousands of people have been killed in the fighting.
