The United States is planning to evacuate about 150 Americans and non-American family members from Gaza, where Israel is launching a major offensive on the Hamas militants, the State Department said on Monday.
U.S. embassy in Israel is taking steps to help the people leave once arrangements can be made with Israel for their safe departure from the conflict zone.
Sixteen Americans and 11 non-American family members have been evacuated from Gaza since the fighting began on Dec. 27, according to the State Department.
It was reported that two American children aged three and six were hit by Israeli fire.
